Some really interesting stuff in here with a compelling case for psychoactive compounds being a core part of the Eleusinian rites, and perhaps a basis for a number of later religious practises. Suddenly the Catholic Eucharist seems a lot more interesting! While some of the evidence was great, some went a bit too far and I found some examples a stretch. I also found later parts of the book a bit dry, but the first half was excellent.
