Erinnerungen an Ernst von Bibra
Dr. Ernst von Bibra wurde am 9. Juni 1806 in Schwebheim geboren. Er verstarb am 5. Juni 1878 in Nürnberg. Als vielseitig interessierter Gelehrter arbeitete er erfolgreich auf ganz unterschiedlichen Wissenschaftsgebieten, wozu ihm insbesondere die Ergebnisse einer über einjährigen Forschungsreise nach Süd-Amerika reichlich Anregungen brachten. Ganz besonders grundlegend selbst noch für unsere Zeit sind seine Studien über bewußtseinsverändernde Drogen. In seinen späteren Jahren war er belletristisch, tätig, brachte seine Erlebnisse aus Süd-Amerika in Abenteuerromane ein und verfaßte daneben zeitgemäße Romane.

The Seven Sisters of Sleep
This groundbreaking survey, written in 1860, is a radically open-minded look at the use of drugs across the world and throughout the ages. Early users of tobacco in Russia would have their noses cut off and repeat offenders their heads. Pope Innocent XII excommunicated any who used it in St. Peters. Marijuana users in 14th century Egypt would have their teeth extracted for the crime. Yet use of these and other forbidden substances continued to grow. If only as a record of the perennial failure of harsh punishments to deter drug use Victorian naturalist Mordecai Cooke's work The Seven Sisters of Sleep would remain significant. But Cooke's natural humor and keen insights have ensured this work...
Cannabis and the Soma Solution
Seeking to identify the plant origins of the early sacramental beverages Soma and Haoma, this study draws a connection between the psychoactive properties of these drinks and the widespread use of cannabis among Indo-Europeans during this time. Exploring the role of these libations as inspiration for the Indian Rig Veda and the Persian Avestan texts, this examination discusses the spread of cannabis use across Europe and Asia, the origins of the Soma and Haoma cults, and the shamanic origins of modern religion.
Opium Culture
In "Opium Culture," Peter Lee presents a fascinating narrative that covers every aspect of the art and craft of opium use. The text is studded with gems of long forgotten opium arcana, dispelling many of the persistent myths about opium and its users, and includes information on the suppression of opium by the modern pharmaceutical industry.

Die Schwebheimer Linie derer von Bibra und ihr Ende
Mit einem Losentscheid fiel im Jahre 1687 n.C. Schwebheim dem Johann Ernst von Bibra zu. Mehr als 250 Jahre waren dann seine Nachkommen unter dem Namen von Bibra die Herren in Schwebheim. Der bedeutendste war wohl der Forscher Dr. Ernst von Bibra. Mit dem Wandel der Zeiten kam der Niedergang dieses Geschlechts derer von Bibra. Still erlosch der Name am Ende. Nur das alte Schloß erinnert noch an die vergangenen Zeiten der Herrschaft.
