At the University of Michigan, and a Doctor of Philosophy at Harvard University.
He received his Bachelor of Arts at Yale University, his Master of Arts He lives in Hull, Massachusetts. Carl Ruck is best known for his work along with other scholars in mythology and religion on the sacred role of entheogens, or psychoactive plants that induce an altered state of consciousness, as used in religious or shamanistic rituals. His focus has been on the use of entheogens in classical western culture, as well as their historical influence on modern western religions.
He currently teaches a mythology class at Boston University that presents this theory in depth.
Furthermore the book introduced for the first time the term "entheogen" as an alternative for terms such as "psychedelic", "hallucinogen" and "drug" that can be misleading in certain contexts. In January 2003 Ruck came to public attention commenting on a book by the cannabis activist Chris Bennett.
He was quoted in The Guardian, and then wrote an article for the Sunday Times.
