Trout's Notes on "San Pedro & related Trichocereus species"

310 pages containing almost 900 B&W photos and a color cover. . . . This work covers San Pedro and its relatives, detailing what we could learn concerning the botany, chemistry and history of these beautiful and sometimes gigantic cacti. . . . Formerly published as the Trichocereus chapter in Sacred Cacti 2nd edition. This material has seen such radical expansion for the 3rd edition that Sacred Cacti now exists as two volumes: Part A Sacred Cacti and Part B San Pedro. . . . San Pedro has been updated to reflect the acquisition of many obscure papers. . . . It has also been greatly enlarged with hundreds of photos to help enable the reader better recognise, or at least understand, what they may encounter in horticulture or in the field. . . . This book is presently the single most comprehensive and detailed review & reference compendium that exists concerning the San Pedro cactus (Trichocereus pachanoi) and its relatives. . . . If readers liked Sacred Cacti, San Pedro will blow them away. . . . The rest of Sacred Cacti 3rd edition (Part A) will soon be forthcoming as a COLOR DVD! . . . That work includes a closer look behind the smoke and mirrors of the War on Drugs revealing its true nature as an attempted cultural purge and social cleansing based on religious sensibilities disguised as Public Health concerns, a detailed look at peyote & other mescaline containing cacti, a reference compendium on the properties, chemistry & pharmacology of mescaline, with sections on its assays, reagents, isolation & purification, a guide to the cultivation & propagation of cacti, a treatise on their preparation & use, a chapter on the other succulents known to be used for ethnomedicinal and/or spiritual applications, and, like all of the Trout's Notes, detailed references for your own research purposes.
