How did Terence Mckenna make $$$$?

Did he get paid to do heroic doses of sacred entheogens?  Seriously his house in Hawaii is badass.

He wrote several.  I don't think he made a living off of just his books.

Well I remember either in an article or a book of his he said his brother and him were pumping out insane amounts of mushrooms every month before he became widely known. I would assume he was selling them and making good money. He had multiple book deals, and he would get paid for all the talks he gave.

Oh, I was just thinkin' about thangs while trying to sleep and I just remembered this thread

In one of his lectures he mentioned that for a few years he was a weed or hash smuggler, I don't remember which. No bullshit

McKenna is :omgawesome:

In his early years he smuggled hash.

Later he would only say that he made money by "consulting". Whatever that means. :shrug:

I think he had quite a bit of money stashed away most of his life. Maybe from parents.

I remember looking on Google maps to try and find it a couple of years ago. I think its well hidden, pretty close to the edge of the jungle. :tongue:
