The Peyote Effect

Alexander S. Dawson's audiobook explores the complex history of peyote, revealing how its use has historically marked the boundary between indigenous traditions and Western authorities since the 17th century. Moving across the US-Mexico border, it examines the ongoing conflicts over who has the right to consume peyote and how these disputes have influenced modern drug policies. The work offers a thought-provoking perspective on the racial and cultural dynamics that have shaped the regulation of this sacred plant.
