Daniel Pinchbecks expirential Novel released last year is a mixed bag of excellent subjects depending on your demeanor, meaning that for some outside of the current situation of drug exploration , a person may need to read several other books to understand just how we got to this point. Daniel does a significant job of bringing the reader up to date with the current "situation" and in reaching into the past of the "modern mind". while not a book that focuses on opioid entheogens in particular Daniel did undergo what I would consider the privileged and "heroic" dosing of Ibogaine by Bwiti practitioners in Africa. If the dose wasnt the most extreme, matching the surrounding and circumstances I would consider the dose he achieved as satisfactory to propel me into wonder just reading the account. In a world of limited information on this drug this is probably the next best publication on the subjerct I have seen besides the staten island projects book "the Ibogaine Story". If Mr Pinchbeck has used "other" opiates I dont know, for people that consider ibogaine an anti-opiate a re-evalutation is needed....ibogaine in a sense "IS" an opiate in that it occupies opiate receptors and does not exhibit opioid antagonist effects. thanks to MR Pinchbeck for his candid talks on his OWN experienced drug encounters.
