An Italian ethnobotanist explores the remarkable propensity of wild animals to seek out and use psychoactive substances. - Throws out behaviorist theories that claim animals have no consciousness. - Offers a completely new understanding of the role psychedelics play in the development of consciousness in all species. - Reveals drug use to be a natural instinct. From caffeine-dependent goats to nectar addicted ants, the animal kingdom offers amazing examples of wild animals and insects seeking out and consuming the psychoactive substances in their environments. Author Giorgio Samorini explores this little-known phenomenon and suggests that, far from being confined to humans, the desire to experience altered states of consciousness is a natural drive shared by all living beings and that animals engage in these behaviors deliberately. Rejecting the Western cultural assumption that using drugs is a negative action or the result of an illness, Samorini opens our eyes to the possibility that beings who consume psychedelics--whether humans or animals--contribute to the evolution of their species by creating entirely new patterns of behavior that eventually will be adopted by other members of that species. The author's fascinating accounts of mushroom-loving reindeer, intoxicated birds, and drunken elephants ensure that readers will never view the animal world in quite the same way again.Binding Type: Paperback

Valid.
Flavor Name: Mango Habanero, Size: 16 Ounces (1 Count), Flavor Name: Mango Habanero, Size: 16 Ounces (1 Count)
I almost hesitated on buying this due to some of the bad reviews. However, I was able to get these for about $14 so I took the chance. Glad I did. Those bad reviews must be from a bad batch or just picky-negative-never-satisfied people. This beef jerky is on point: looks , smell and tastes good. Simple, clean ingredients. I’m an Iron Worker and I eat these during coffee as a light snack 4 energy. It’s comparable to old trapper and might be my go to if the price is right.

Not a good taste
Flavor Name: Mango Habanero, Size: 2.5 Ounces (4 Count)
The texture of the beef is very chewy. It does have heat to it but I was not a fan of the flavor. I don't know if it was because of grass fed beef or if it was the actual flavor. I would not buy again.

Very soft and tasty but Habanero is little too spicy for me.

Delicious
Flavor Name: Mango Habanero, Size: 16 Ounces (1 Count)
Delicious! I was worried it would be too spicy but while it is definitely spicy it is not so much so that it is unpleasant. Just enough to keep me from overindulging - a few pieces at a time is just right.
