Produktbeschreibung
From Roman emperors to the most famous Queen of Egypt, from Mary Shelley to Edgar Allen Poe, Charles Dickens to Pablo Picasso, so much of art and history were inspired by the one and only plant that nature saw fit to deliver us from pain, both physical, mental, and spiritual. It gave us our very first medicine, our first extracted alkaloid, and our first controlled substance. Man's quest to improve nature gave us our first unstoppable addiction. The book that could end the opioid epidemic, For the Love of Opium, begins with a historical account of Opium use in polite society prior to its criminalization. Author W. E. Simmons examines its influence on history, art, and literature, including how it inspired the most famous monsters of the horror genre. We learn what Opium is, the alkaloids that produce its effects, and how they work together and independently. We also learn why science has failed to make a safer and less addictive version of nature's strongest medicine and how one can make one's own safer pain medication. Pharmaceutical-grade opiates cause the opioid epidemic. Opium: Nature's Most Powerful Medicine, is an herbal option to end the suffering and addiction of man-made opiates.

Autorenporträt
W. E. Simmons is an ethnobotanist and researcher from Spring Valley, New York. His introduction to psychedelic substances in the mid-1980s inspired his fascination with their potential for relieving alcohol and substance use disorders. He has spent more than 30 years researching the effects of psychedelics and other mind-altering substances, specifically in the context of addiction recovery. After moving to California in 2002, Simmons dedicated himself to developing a revolutionary method of recovery. With the help of the latest science and a network of recovering addicts, he carefully honed his work into the first truly unique guide to recovery from addiction (and many other conditions of the mind) in almost a century, one that has been successfully used by W. and countless others to finally overcome their struggles, the California Sober method of recovery. In addition to ethnobotany and the exploration of mind-altering substances, Simmons also authors works in philosophy and fiction. He is an addiction specialist, a medicinal botanist, an experienced psychonaut, and freedom fighter in the War on Drugs.
