Basic Illustrated Poisonous and Psychoactive Plants (Basic Illustrated Series) Paperback – Illustrated, May 6, 2014

Great pictures of the different plants. It also has enough information about each plant that I feel comfortable with being able to identify a plant/rash.I have sensitive skin and react to most plants or insects that come in contact with me. I garden a lot so this happens often.So, I got this so that when I get a rash I can look around where I was to identify the cause and treat it accordingly. I am so happy I purchased this! It will definitely be handy!

I like the clear photos of the plants

Anything from Jim Meunink is wonderful

Received this book today and very happy with the photographs (for identifying plants) and the written information. It is advertised as a new book but as you can see from the photo I attached, there are 4 holes on the book cover and the first page has a part of the paper from the hole stuck on it. I am not asking for a refund, but in case Amazon keeps track of problems like this, I wanted to report it. I did give it a 4-star review but that has nothing to do with the holes. All-in-all, a good starter book.

jes what I axed fer

Short field guide for poisonous plants. Personally not really worth the purchase if you are searching for psychoactive but does have some common house plants that are poisonous with great description and detail of symptoms.

This book is extremely limited in scope. It’s extremely basic in its design and the amount of information it brings on the subject. Really wouldn’t bother with this one, there’s plenty of others out there with more information.

The picture on page 34 is Ambrosia trifida, not Ambrosia artemisifolia. The illustration on page 48 is not a Chrysanthemum, it is a Dahlia. Page 41 contains the most serious mistake. The common name for the plant pictured is indeed Mother in Law's Tongue but this is NOT sp. Dieffenbachia. Dieffenbachia is a different plant, pictured on page 50. The information on page 41 seems to be a mash up, some for Dracaena and some for Dieffinbachia. Mother in Law's tongue was formerly called Sanseverria but is now considered to be in genus Dracaena. I'm surprised a book on poisonous plants was not more carefully edited.
