Terence McKenna was a brilliant man with a lot of original ideas. He was the first person I heard speaking intelligently and passionately about the benefits of psychedelics. I'm glad that I at least had the chance to hear him speak live on the radio when he was still around. There will never be another human being like him.

A friend with weed is a friend indeed.

He is the only person that I know of who made it a life mission to 'talk about it'.
Whatever the 'it' may be ......unseen levels of conscienceless , telepathic communication,
Extraterrestrials or whatever trip he was on at the time.
Honesty in this messed up world we live in is rare and should be respected with the highest regard.

Keeping it real will help us earthlings to evolve.

It doesn't sop at apposeable thumbs people.
We are all on the road to find out.
You just have to stay silent long enough to hear the messages that your gut gives you EVERY DAY.

Other people made that their life mission, like Tim Leary. Terence was the leading voice of the psychedelic movement in the 90s when I was first getting into psychedelics. He opened my mind to a lot of things I had never thought about before then.

His brother Dennis is in the documentary DMT: The Spirit Molecule. On Netflix. He sounds almost like Terence when he's talking about DMT.

'naughty librarian' is ashamed to admit that i have never read any Timothy Leary

Do not give way.......to astonishment


'so you take,
let us assume,
a 3rd toke,
long.......and slow.
you vapourize,
and you take it in,
and in,
and in,
and there is a sound,
ah, like the crumpling of a plastic bread wrapper,
or the crackling,
or the crackling,
and a tone,
a tone................'

'it sounds so crazy,
is it dangerous?
the answer is,
only if you fear
death by
astonishment.
remember how you laughed
when this possibility was raised,
and a moment will come
that will wipe the smile
from your face.'

'we are all on the cutting edge
and nobody is ahead of anybody else.
clearly we need to transform our language
because our culture is created by our language
and our culture is toxic,
murderous,
and on a downhill bummer.'

Hate em or love em the man was a def the person responsible for the dialect most often used in circles talking of psychedelics. I have an entire library of McKenna and know his journeys to be very similar to my own. I can agree with his notions on most things but others are debatable. My thoughts, ...what's not to love? I'm grateful.

[Jahnice]

i dont hate him or love him but i do have respect for the fact that he was not scared to talk about things that for some reason seem to be tabu subjects.
he didn't seem to care what people thought of his mental adventures and that is pretty rare even today-more than a decade after his death.
