I don't know why no one's mentioned Be Here Now yet.

Tripping is an interesting anthology of real-life psychedelic experiences.

Shroom is a cultural history of magic mushrooms. Real interesting stuff here.

No problem. If you want to read a bit more into what I mentioned above and more, Shroom: A Cultural History is an excellent resource.

Shroom by Letcher is great.

Upside-down Zen (not a classic but I get a lot out of this one)

This book takes a look at mushrooms from an ethnomycologist's point of view. Describes many cultures' myths and stories regarding the spiritual, recreational, and medicinal use of all kinds of mushrooms.

> All of the things you mentioned are scarce and rivalrous.

sticks ain't scarce. Forests regrow sticks every fall. shit every thunderstorm I live in. Fires are so "unscarce" they are started by a lightning strike. Fires can also be kept alive for years and years.

>Two creatures cannot share the same water.

which is replenished daily by rain, snow, hail, sleet, flooding, and numerous other ways. So yes they can "share the same water"

in fact this book goes into how psychocilibin can be transferred and reingested through urine. So drink up to keep that groovy high going.

>However, chromosomes are a recipe.

No they're not. They're alignments of proteins; you share pretty much all of yours with every other person alive

> Recipes are ideal goods

then perhaps this "ideal goods" is crap and should be discontinued.

>Property rights are for rivalrous real world resources.

again, is this some Lockean bullshit you're just swallowed down without critically thinking about?
