Journey into the Undergrowth

From the world's reaction to America's pot-smoking gold-medalist Michael Phelps to Johns Hopkins well-received psilocybin research with cancer patients— enthogens have been getting a lot of press these days.

To add to the much welcomed media hype, the Australian-based Undergrowth art collective is offering the world a beautifully illustrated trip through some of the most recent findings in psychedelic research in their new release The Journeybook. Chock-full of simulating content, the book offers “a collection of tales of altered states, essays, history and manifesto for psychedelic culture in the 21st century. It covers the modern usage of sacramental plants and offers insights into traditional and contemporary shamanism, as well as analysis of the current state of global psychedelic culture and its place in a sustainable future.”

The Journeybook is over 250 colorful pages and features previously unpublished interviews with Terence McKenna, Dennis McKenna, and Daniel Pinchbeck, and a wide variety of articles by Rak Razam, Erik Davis, Stanislav Grof, Graham St John, Tim Parish, Tim Boucher, Dave Cauldwell, Des Tramacchi, Brummbaer and many others.
