Jonathan Ott is a highly regarded ethnobotanist, writer, and pundit in the area of entheogens and their cultural and historical uses. Of particular note is his book Ayahuasca Analogues, in which he researched and identified numerous plants around the globe containing the harmala alkaloids of Banisteriopsis caapi, which are MAOIs, and plants containing Dimethyltryptamine, which together are the chemical base of the South American Ayahuasca brew. He worked together with important workers like Christian Rätsch or Jochen Gartz.
