Samorini's observations support his controversial hypothesis that human drug-taking derives from a universal biologically-based drive to alter consciousness.
Review
Rick Strassman, author of DMT: The Spirit Molecule and Clinical Associate Professor of Psychiatry, University of New Mexico School of Medicine : "Samorini's observations support his controversial hypothesis that human drug-taking derives from a universal biologically-based drive to alter consciousness. This perspective on drug-taking behavior can only enlarge our own views about the phenomenon which, in many humans, has become so contentious."
Julie Holland, MD, Editor, Ecstasy: The Complete Guide
Assistant Professor of Clinical Psychiatry, Bellevue Psychiatric Emergency Department : "Samorini  offers support for not only the theory of a biological basis of the pursuit of altered states, but also the possibility that this activity may expand the behavioral repertoire, thus altering evolution. Provocative reading."
Mark Pilkington, Fortean Times, December 2002 :
"This must be one of the most important books about animals - or drugs - that you are likely to read."
