Product Description

From the Publisher

praise from Howard Marks
Praise from Howard Marks
"Blue Tide is an extremely well-written account of the author's exhaustive and tenacious attempts to identify and/or explain soma, the plant of the gods, history's first mind-bending substance.

No literal or metaphorical stones are left unturned as we share the delights of genuine discovery obtained through conscientious and intelligent use of established academia, cyberspace travel, and good old-fashioned field research, be it botanical, psychoactive, or anthropological.

Blue Tide, more than any other book I've read, satisfactorily answers the plethora of queries concerning the history of the use of drugs as a means of soul searching, attaining spiritual enlightenment, and getting off one's face. Read it before you get high. Read it before you die."

5.0 out of 5 stars Tour-de-force of psychedelic detective work, 10 Mar 2000
By A Customer
It's a well-kept secret that the first Western religions were centred on a hallucinogenic plant ritual. This is a concise, gripping and vivid investigation of soma, the sacred drug at the roots of Western civilisation, and the mystery of why it disappeared. Travel, historigraphy and some gonzo drug experiments combine to conjure this amazing story.
