Tobacco and Shamanism in South America by Johannes Wilbert Cone Burner and in the junglesAnthropologist Johannes Wilbert here presents a comprehensive ethnography of magico religious, medicinal, and recreational tobacco use among native South American societies. Surveying nearly three hundred societies, Wilbert has found that South American Indians employ numerous means of nicotine application and that a close functional relationship exists between tobacco and shamanism.
