    Well, here is a book that everybody should read. It is very informative, intelligent and utterly interesting. M. Pallon has opened a path in a tangled forest in order for us to enter a wonderful world of psychedelics. His ability of deduction is impressive and educative. His resurch is enormous and he has done a great job. This book is a must for any society to eliminate all preconceptions and prejudices that abound about psychedelics. There is a huge fear and ignorance in people which is unfair and unnecessary and must be changed. M. Pollan's book is a brilliant tool to rase all a.m. hinders in order for us to embrase a new way of seeing ourselvs and our precious world/planet. We are at the edge of selfdestruction and it is time for us to change our perspectives in order not only to survive as species but also to widen our consciousnes for a creditable life. It is too late to wait for the natural evolution of humankind to kick in. We need a push to the right direction and psychedelics are just that push, I think.
    I greatly recommend this book to everybody. I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED it!
    (I must say though that his language was very hard to follow - a clause in a clause in a clause. And as a not american, I had hard time to understand some frases).
