Food of the Gods by McKenna has played a huge part in my worldview, I always go back to that one. And Tales of A Shamans Apprentice by Mark Plotkin is a solid one on contemporary shamanism / ethnobotany / choosing a really, really good career path.
Since you asked for an example. This monograph is about how pharmaceutical companies synthesized new treatments and drugs based on an ethnographer's research. So there, our society all the way in North America has benefited from tropical people like the Enawene Nawe.
Tales of a Shaman's Apprentice is a great book covering specifically rainforest drug use (been a while since I read it, seems like it was snuff and ayahuasca that is covered).
Use in Haiti/DR and places for voodoo practices might be something to explore as well.
This has always been a favorite of mine
