FROM THE COVER === The Pope's Habit
Did you know that Pope Leo XII was supported in his ascetic retirement with frequent dosages of Vin Mariani, the celebrated wine of coca?
And that other noted enthusiasts included Thomas Edison, Emile Zola and Jules Verne? However brilliant and celebrated were these individuals (and others like them), they had to conduct their interior exploration without, guides and, usually, with scant reliable information. Now, for the first time, the modern explorer (or interested observer) has a book to turn to!
The HIGH TIMES ENCYCLOPEDIA is the first comprehensive, authoritative and unbiased sourcebook and guide "to the so-called "recreational drugs" including cannabis and its derivatives, psychedelics, cocaine, pharmaceuticals, herbs, alcohol, tobacco and a lot more! More than three years in preparation by the editors of High Times magazine working with leading doctors, scientists, scholars and writers, the ENCYCLOPEDIA is essential, fascinating, factual . . . a clear step in the direction of greater understanding for millions upon millions of people.
FROM THE BOOK == Founded in 1974, High Times has been something of a publishing sensation since the first issue. Proclaiming itself "the magazine for high society" that first glossy issue was greeted with bewildered but intense interest. A magazine dedicated to getting and staying high? .. Although by now High Times has well established its importance in the media mainstream back in 1974 this was considered unusual, to say the least!.
What scored for High Times from its first issue (which sold out the entire printing -- a highly unusual accomplishment for a magazine) was its determination to present reliable, informed and positive reportage on a complex and frequently misunderstood subject, one which to a remarkable degree has been inflicted with massive doses of misinformation disinformation, myth and calculated distortion.
In putting together this encyclopedia, then, the editors of High Times have set out to separate the facts from the fantasy, returning with their research to thousands of original sources, some of which date back more than 4000 years, and correcting the misapprehensions and mistakes that have been cemented into the very foundation of nearly all the previously accepted texts on the subject of drugs and the human mind and body.
With the enormous and unique resources which High Times brought to bear and after more than three years of research, editing, collecting, sifting and selecting, the editors of High Times have prepared the first comprehensive, authoritative and unbiased sourcebook and guide to all of the so-called "recreational drugs." These include cannabis and its derivatives, psychedelics, cocaine, pharmaceuticals, herbs (legal and contraband), alcohol, tobacco, coffee and many others.
Dozens of editors, writers, photographers, designers and illustrators have been brought together for this mammoth assignment, all of whose contributions have in one way or another benefited this project. Therefore, the publishers would like to take this opportunity to thank all of these people as well as the staff of High Times magazine for its cooperation in this long and complicated effort.
Grateful thanks to the Fitz Hugh Ludlow Memorial
Library, San Francisco, California for the use of their collection, assistance
and expertise.
