World-renowned anthropologist and ethnopharmacologist Christian Ratsch provides the latest scientific updates to this classic work on psychoactive flora by two eminent researchers.

- Numerous new and rare color photographs complement the completely revised and updated text.

- Explores the uses of hallucinogenic plants in shamanic rituals throughout the world.

- Cross-referenced by plant, illness, preparation, season of collection, and chemical constituents.

Three scientific titans join forces to completely revise the classic text on the ritual uses of psychoactive plants. They provide a fascinating testimony of these plants of the gods, tracing their uses throughout the world and their significance in shaping culture and history. In the traditions of every culture, plants have been highly valued for their nourishing, healing, and transformative properties. The most powerful of those plants, which are known to transport the human mind into other dimensions of consciousness, have always been regarded as sacred. The authors detail the uses of hallucinogens in sacred shamanic rites while providing lucid explanations of the biochemistry of these plants and the cultural prayers, songs, and dances associated with them. The text is lavishly illustrated with 400 rare photographs of plants, people, ceremonies, and art related to the ritual use of the world's sacred psychoactive flora.

Fun Toy for Large Dogs, but Hard to Grab from Flat Surfaces
I gave this to a large dog to see how it would hold up during play. He really enjoys it and stays engaged with it, especially during active play sessions. The material feels durable enough to handle a bigger dog’s strength. It’s bright and easy to spot, which helps when playing outdoors. It’s clearly designed for interactive play. One thing I noticed is that it can be a little difficult for him to pick up off the ground. The shape doesn’t give much to grab onto when it’s lying flat. Once he gets it, he enjoys it, but getting started can take a second. It’s still a fun toy, just something to keep in mind. Works best when tossed or handed to them.

An absolute powerhouse for heavy chewers—survived the "same-day" test!
Finding a toy that can survive a large dog is usually an expensive game of trial and error. More often than not, new toys end up destroyed in the exact same day we buy them. However, the Wagalicious Tuggfinity Lime toy has completely defied expectations. This large, lime green tug toy is built like a tank. It is the perfect size for larger breeds and has actually held up incredibly well to intense tugging and heavy chewing sessions. Instead of shredding into pieces within hours, it’s still going strong. The best part is the price point. At around $15, the value is absolutely awesome. Usually, you have to pay a massive premium for "indestructible" style dog toys, but this one gives you top-tier durability without breaking the bank. If you have a big dog that demolishes everything, this is a must-have.

Dad approved
I bought this because my dogs do not want “gentle play.” They want something they can really grab, shake, and try to win. This has been a great tug toy for that. The material feels thick, the stitching has held up, and it has enough grip that I can keep control without it slipping. It is also easy to rinse off after backyard dirt and dog drool. This is the kind of toy that actually gets used instead of ending up ignored in the corner.

My Scottie loves it!
This item arrived in a sealed plastic bag to protect it during shipping. My Scottish Terrier LOVES this toy! She's the queen of tug-o-war, and the more she can fling a toy around, the better, which makes this one a winner in her mind. It's very comfy for us to hold onto while she tries her best to yank our arm off with it, since she can really get a good grip on her side. My Westie wasn't impressed, but she's not really a "toy" dog, to begin with. So far, it has withstood the might of the Scottish Terrier alligator jaws, despite her trying her best to destroy it, so hopefully she'll be able to enjoy it for awhile. Great quality, great durability, made in the USA, and for a reasonable price, it's a winner in our house!

Our dogs love it. A great, indestructible, chewing experience.
Our dogs love playing with this wagalicious tuggfinity toy. In my pic you can see that they fell asleep playing with it. They chased each other around the house with it and played tug a war with it until they exhausted themselves so I’d say this is a huge hit with our fur baby’s. At 9”x7” it’s a perfect size for our big dogs. The material it’s made from (TPR) it super tough, durable and has a bit of flexibility to it and they can sink their teeth into it and tug a war with it without it getting chew marks or falling apart. It gives them something to chew in that’s not hard but is soft enough to give them great chew satisfaction. It’s a bit heavy which is good for my big dogs too because its weight keeps them active. Non toxic as well. I’d say this is a great value and because they love it so much then I love it too.
