Anyone have any recommendations on books involving drugs, drug culture, ethnobotanicals, etc?

I've read

-From Chocolate to Morphine by Andrew Weil
-Reefer Madness by Eric Schlosser
-Dmt: The Spirit Molecule by Rick Strassman
-A Brief History of Drugs: From the Stone Age to the Stoned Age by Antonio Escohotado
-True Hallucinations by Terence Mckenna
-The Doors of Perception by Aldous Huxley

and maybe some more I don't remember

Thanks for the suggestions OP..

Les paradis artificiels by Charles Beaudelaire, a mid-19th century French poet. Early experiences of Europeans with haschich. Perfectly naive subjects taking massive doses of resin in the form of edible jam... Curious and funny. Obviously for those who understand French but an English translation prolly exists.

The Confessions of an English Opium Eater by Thomas de Quincey is a classic must-read for anyone interested in the subject, of course, but also a literary masterpiece in its own right.

Anything by Stanislav Grof
is pretty interesting
('Realms Of The Human Unconscious'
or
'The Human Encounter With Death'
good starting points)
