This is a fantastic little book on Lophophora Williamsii. It offers suggestions on growing as well as removing the main alkaloid for personal reasons... a well rounded list of other hallucinagenic cacti, and overall being the only book on the market about this little plant other than Andersons which speaks mostly about the religious practices tied to this little plant, you have to make it part of your collection. Once you are done here visit my website [...] to learn more about this wonderful little plant where I have put together all the latest information available on Peyote since all the old news is very outdated... you might even have a chance to purchase a nice little plant for yourself or seeds to start growing your own. Happy Growing [...].

This book provides good information layed out in an easy to read format on the cultivation, consumption, legality, and history of peyote and other similar cacti. It also gives a breakdown of the alkaloids in peyote and gives detailed methods for mescaline extraction (you know...for resaerch purposes). It also includes pictures and descriptions of other cacti containing alkaloids similar to peyote. The only shortcoming I find in this book is the lack of any research reports on the harmful effects of peyote, but that could be because there has been very little research done on it. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in peyote for any purpose.
