In THE FAR OFF LAND, Eugene Seaich discusses the perennially fascinating topic of such mind-altering drugs as mescaline, psilocybin, and LSD, both how they appear in Nature and in the laboratory. This road has been traveled before, but Seaich takes a fascinating detour. He goes back millennia, glimpses the future, and goes deeply within his own psyche to assess how his life was changed by these chemicals. The reader might start reading about this ""far off land,"" thinking that is an exotic destination. But after a few chapters, the engrossing prose will be reminiscent of one's home turf.
