An epic poem on plant humours, an abstruse alchemic treatise, an experiential narrative jigsaw puzzle, a hip and learned wild-nature reference text, a comic paen to cosmic consciousness, an ecological handbook, a dried-herb pastiche, a counterculture encyclopedia of ancient fact and lore.-Allen Ginsberg

Synopsis:

"The writer... leads us... through a tangled forest of psychoactive plants, 'green allies.' ... This book is full of wonders... Pendell is a member of a clan of visionaries, plant people and seers, who are testing the limits that seem to divide the levels of existance". — Sulfur

Synopsis:

Discusses the effects of plants on humans, and looks at plants connected with death, drunkenness, euphoria, peacefulness, sensuality, and other mental states.
