Summary

Guest speaker: Terence McKenna PROGRAM NOTES: [NOTE: All quotations are by Terence McKenna.] “I sort of see [cannabis] as the pilot light of Gian consciousness.] “The danger is [in using psychedelic drugs], just to put it out there, is madness.” “LSD is different. LSD is like psychoanalytical Drano. It's not a personality.” “Matter is simply a concept. The world is made of language.” “If you're truly psychedelic the difference between living and dying is quite immaterial. No pun intended.” Download MP3 PCs – Right click, select option Macs – Ctrl-Click, select option The Union: The Business Behind Getting High Directed by Brett Harvey The Hasheesh Eater & The Poem of Hashish By Fitz Hugh Ludlow, Charles Baudelaire

And so that I don't forget to mention this after we listen to Terrence's talk,

while I have often said that I didn't have the exact same experiences as he did under DMT, for example,

1:07.6

near the end of today's talk, you're going to hear Terence categorize several psychedelic substances by their personalities.

1:12.8

Well, for the record, I completely agree with everything that he says there.
