“An innovative book that focuses on a variety of plants and practices, some of which have received rather limited scholarly attention. It approaches the complex circuits and new agents within the global landscape of psychoactive plant medicines from a nuanced and balanced ethical stance, and takes into account the reality of commodification, implying the growing circulation of substances throughout the entire world, the problem related to the territories and ecology where these plants grow, and the challenges and opportunities this opens up for Indigenous communities.” —Brigitte Adriaensen, professor of Latin American Studies at Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen (Netherlands) “Coming to this book after years of work at the intersection of drug policy, human rights, and community based responses to substance use, I most value its deep respect for shared knowledge and for the Indigenous wisdom that has safeguarded psychedelic plant medicines for generations. Grounded in the voices of communities themselves, it explores ancestral practices as they live and adapt in the present, from peyote in Mexico to coca circles and the Wirikuta community’s relationship with peyote, reminding us to honor where this knowledge comes from and how we continue learning together.” —Zara Snapp, director of Instituto RIA
