This is A MUST READ! This link is gold, Timothy Leary's "The Psychedelic Experience" ONLINE (Normal folks need to buy this book!)!!! Tim Leary was the guru of LSD, and he wrote many books. "The Psychedelic Experience" is the tripping handbook for many psychonauts around the world.
Many hours of McKenna speeches. Like Leary, Terrance McKenna was a well known psychadelic philosopher and shaman. Terrance McKenna is not as easy for newbie trippers to approach as Leary. In his books and lectures, he often takes on very difficult topics. Terrance was definitely a brilliant man. Thank God there are so many recordings of him... although his voice may take a little getting used to.
A poetic look into the mescaline trip as experienced by renowned intellectual Aldous Huxley. A wonderful introduction to psychedelic thought in general.
A cool, but slightly incomplete article that in some ways picks up where McKenna left off. Very informative. It also contains a cool interactive project. I hope he updates this article some day.
According to Dade Murphy, "I've found this practical guide to be very informative and accurate. (D.M. Turner's Essential Psychedelic Guide) It's more concise and easier to navigate/understand than, say, the Vaults of Erowid or Shulgin's books. Of course it leaves out a lot of points that more lengthy resources might go after."
