You're right, he took peyotes, but the effects and experiences he
described are similar to what I've heard about LSD or other
mind-expanding drugs.

| The active ingredient in peyote is mescaline which is an hallucinogen like LSD.

If I'm not mistaken the first book is "The Teachings of Don
Juan"

"The Teachings of Don Juan: A Yaqui Way of Knowledge" is the first
book.
"Journey to Ixtlan" is either the second or third; "Tales of Power"
goes in there somewhere...

"A Separate Reality" is the second, "Journey to Ixtlan" the third. I
think "Tales of Power" is the fourth, but i stopped after Ixtlan. It
seemed too perfect to require any more sequels.

You're missing huge chunks of Carlos' education; definitely read "The
Second Ring of Power"

reads like a drug trip.

Not really, but I didn't start the topic.
> I still think it reads like a drug trip.
I'm not sure WHAT it is. Carlos has a degree in Anthro from UCLA -- he
says it's genuine research. But it is pretty unbelievable.
"Why did you have me take so many power plants?" "Because you were so
_stupid_."

| If I recall, the first book ends with a whole bunch of sociological
extrapolation about his experience.
I once read a set of criticisms about the series which had some very
interesting pieces debating whether his work was fact or fiction. the
passion on both sides of the issue were very well expressed and
enjoyable read. I don't remember the title or editor but I think the
title was derived from one of the titles of Castaneda's works.
