Giorgio Samorini, Animali che si drogano, Vicenza: Telesterion, 2000. Trans. by T. Calliope: Animals and Psychedelics: The Natural World and the Instinct to Alter Consciousness, Rochester (VT): Park Street, 2002.
Ethnobotanist Georgio Samorini’s Animals and psychadelics: The Natural World and the Instinct to Alter Consciousness gives a wonderous insight into animals and insects seeking out and consuming the psychoactive substances in their environments. Examples of animals who (consciously) seek inebriation include mushroom-loving reindeer, caffeine-addicted goats and snails enticed by alcoholic brews.
