  Ayahuasca, a hallucinogenic tea, is considered a sacrament in South America, but an illicit drug in the United States. This book looks at how these opposing views have caused heated legal battles, including those at the Supreme Court and the United Nations. It also includes text from the United Nations Convention on Psychotropic Substances.
