This book has as many facts as his 12 fictitious spy novels.

A history and economics graduate.... he should stick to what he knows, bullshit & history.

Has he really written 12 spy novels??

I wonder if there's a cool way you can use a bong to kill someone in a spy novel.
I guess the spy could club his adversary to death with the bong, but I don't think that's very cool.

Interesting little piece for anyone who thinks Humans are the only mammals who use substances to alter their consciousness.

Humans aren't the only creatures that suffer from substance abuse problems. Horses eat hallucinogenic weeds, elephants get drunk on overripe fruit and big horn sheep love narcotic lichen. Monkeys' attraction to sugar-rich and ethanol-containing fruit, in fact, may explain our own attraction to alcohol, some researchers think.

Now, dolphins may join that list. Footage from a new BBC documentary series, "Spy in the Pod," reveals what appears to be dolphins getting high off of pufferfish. Pufferfish produce a potent defensive chemical, which they eject when threatened. In small enough doses, however, the toxin seems to induce "a trance-like state" in dolphins that come into contact with it, the Daily News reports:

The dolphins were filmed gently playing with the puffer, passing it between each other for 20 to 30 minutes at a time, unlike the fish they had caught as prey which were swiftly torn apart.
Zoologist and series producer Rob Pilley said that it was the first time dolphins had been filmed behaving this way.

At one point the dolphins are seen floating just underneath the water's surface, apparently mesmerised by their own reflections.

The dolphins' expert, deliberate handling of the terrorized puffer fish, Pilley told the Daily News, implies that this is not their first time at the hallucinogenic rodeo.

ABC's article:

"On Tuesday, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Spravato for use as a treatment for patients who have failed to find relief from depression with at least two antidepressants.

The approval was granted on the basis of it being used in conjunction with an oral antidepressant.

University of Sydney's Brain and Mind Centre co-director Ian Hickie pointed out the drug had been used in emergency departments to provide fast-acting treatment to acutely depressed, suicidal patients.
...

UNSW psychiatrist Colleen Loo has been studying the use of ketamine as a treatment for depression for six years, and is currently in the midst of trialling the drug in a study with the Black Dog Institute.
...

Professor Loo said that like many medications, it is difficult to pinpoint exactly what ketamine does that makes it effective.

However, it's thought the drug helps to rejuvenate braincells which can be impacted by chronic depression.

"It has a strong effect in regrowing and plumping nerve cells," she said."
