Abstract
There are a great variety of psychoactive substances known to human beings, mostly plant-based chemicals that change perception and sensation. Some of these are relatively mild in their natural state, but can be refined into powerful drugs. For example, the coca leaf chewed by Andean peasants is a mild stimulant, but after large amounts of coca leaf have been crushed, cooked, and chemically treated to isolate and concentrate the active ingredient, the resulting cocaine powder or crack cocaine “rock” becomes a powerful and powerfully addicting substance. Similarly, while any uncooked berry or fruit juice left overnight will begin to ferment, the resultant mildly alcoholic mash is far different in nature from triple distilled Scotch whiskey, for example.
