"The contemporary European use of intoxicants
such as alcohol, synthetic narcotics, solvents and
hallucinogens is the subject matter of the latest
chapter in the long and little understood story of
our civilization's interaction with psychoactive
substances. This story is usually told in a greatly
abridged form, beginning with alcohol as the
inebriant par excellence of European culture an
relegating the role of opium, cannabis and other
intoxicants to mere footnotes. The unabridged
version, which begins back in prehistory, sheds
an entirely new light on the sequence of events
with which we are familiar from the badly edited
popular account."
Thanx. Gimbutas, "The Goddesses & Gods of Old Europe" show us stone
carvings of A. Muscaria. 7000 BP.
