Next, Max reads out and comments on an email from Jamin about Fly Agaric mushrooms and their inconclusive psychoactive effects, and also historical use of psychoactive plants, witchcraft and its connection with Henbane, concentrated Amanita mushroom extracts, the psychoactive origins of Mead, Pilsner beer and coca cola, the modern obsession with alcohol and demonisation of all other drugs and the action of different drugs on the brain. Max then talks about a recent addition to Michael Hoffman's ego death yahoo group, a review of D.C Hillman's new book 'the chemical muse' about drug use in ancient Greece, and following a musical break Max talks about a recent article added to erowid about historical evidence of ancient Tantric and Buddhist use of Datura and cannabis and the ongoing debates about this subject and the old meaning of the word 'wine'.
