In the drug world today, most of the "buzz" is centered around "legal highs" and various loopholes. Within this audiobook, I've highlighted many of the semi-legal psychoactive plants, fungi, fish, amphibians, reptiles, and insects in which these substances are derived and/or extracted/isolated from. I use the term "semi-legal" because laws vary by state, loopholes exist, and the host may be legal in situations where isolating the drug is not, hence "semi-legal".

Your faith in Science and God hangs in the balance. You can't have confidence in the Big Bang and Creation if you think there are conflicting stories. Meet the mediator and winner, Theology. Origin of the Universe makes sense out...

Award-winning poet and novelist Helen Humphreys returns to her series of nature meditations in this gorgeously written and illustrated book that takes a deep look at the forgotten world of herbariums and the people who amassed collections of plant specimens in the 19th and 20th centuries.

Over seven billion people depend on plants for healthy, productive, secure lives, but few of us stop to consider the origin of the plant kingdom that turned the world green and made our lives possible. And as the human population continues to escalate, our survival depends on how we treat the plant kingdom and the soils that sustain it. Understanding the evolutionary history of our land floras, the story of how plant life emerged from water and conquered the continents to dominate the planet, is fundamental to our own existence.

Our ecological, social, and political issues all stem from the ideologies that drive our collective actions. In contrast to our innate humanity, which is rooted in unity, these ideologies have led us to believe that we are separate from each other, separate from nature, and separate from the results of our actions. Such a worldview encourages individuals to maximize self-interest, which then causes fragmentation, conflict, pollution, and the depletion of natural resources.

As plants see it, humans are not the masters of the Earth but only one of its most unpleasant and irksome residents. They have been on the planet for only about 300,000 years ago (nothing compared to the three billon years of plant evolution) yet have changed the conditions of the planet so drastically as to make it a dangerous place for their own survival. It's time for the plants to offer advice.
