Summary

Support Lorenzo on Patreon.com Guest speakers: Terence McKenna and Elizabeth Gips PROGRAM NOTES: This podcast is dedicated to long-time saloner MARJEAN McKENNA This is a recording, from 1985, of an interview that Elizabeth Gips conducted with Terence McKenna at his home. The interview begins, like most of the 1980s era McKenna interviews, with a detailed question about DMT, but Elizabeth quickly gets them on a more interesting track. And the reason that I say "more interesting" is because here in the salon we've already covered most of the nuts and bolts of various psychedelic experiences. It's the reasons that draw us to these substances that I find to be the most interesting. When choosing a new psychedelic experience, Terence suggests asking three questions about the substance you are considering: 1) does it have a shamanic history; 2) does it occure in the tissue of a plant or animal; and 3) does it bear a simularity with compounds in our brains. In Memoriam: Elizabeth Gips, 1922–2001 Elizabeth Gips' Obituary

0:09.0	Elphishol.
0:14.8	Greetings from Cyberdelic Space.
0:19.6	This is Lorenzo, and I'm your host here in the psychedelic salon.
0:24.0	And, as many of you have told me, it's, well, it's about time for the salon to get going again after this long pandemic slowdown.
0:32.6	And I've come across a good way to get started.
0:35.9	But first, I have a few announcements.
0:38.7	And to begin with, while there have been very few podcasts posted here lately, the salon has
0:44.2	been quite active.
0:45.8	During the first year of the pandemic, I hosted four live salons a week to keep us busy
0:50.9	during the lockdowns.
0:52.3	And since then, I've been hosting two live salons every week,
0:55.5	one on Monday and in the evening, and one on Thursdays around noon.
1:01.0	I send email links to the live events to my supporters on Patreon, to whom I, oh, a great deal.
1:08.0	I really don't know how I would have been able to make ends meet these past two years
1:11.8	without them. Unfortunately, some of my supporters lost their jobs during this pandemic and had to drop
1:17.7	off Patreon. In fact, at the beginning of the pandemic, we had over 500 supporters on Patreon. But
1:25.4	unfortunately, only 300 of them have been able to hang on lately.
1:29.8	So I've been posting the links to the live salons on our Discord server as well.
1:34.7	That keeps those people that had to drop out from Patreon to keep them from being left out.
1:40.2	As you know, you can join our Discord community without even leaving your email address.
1:45.9	And the invite link for that is at the top of the page at psychedelic salon.com.
