D. M. Turner, born Joseph Vivian, was an influential author and researcher in the field of psychedelics. Active in the late 20th century, he published two significant books on psychoactive drugs and entheogens. The first, 'The Essential Psychedelic Guide,' explored the subjective effects of various psychoactive substances, while his second book, 'Salvinorin,' focused on Salvia divinorum. Turner's life ended tragically when he drowned in a bathtub after injecting ketamine, which incapacitated him.
