He needs our help. I just stumbled upon this link and I think the shroomery is the place to spread the word.

I'll buy it when it comes out sure. Hopefully he gets a book deal though because raising $80,000 to self publish might be tough. He wants us to donate money that he will use to live off of while he writes the book. Good luck with that.

I am also sure that he has ranked in quite a bit of dough over the years from sales of the books that he has written independently or in conjunction with his brother. Being one of the top research guy's for Aveda probably paid handsomely as well. I think that Dennis can fund his own project.
It's not a scam. He openly admits that he needs the money to use as his income while he dedicates all his time to writing the book. He's also giving signed books, early chapter previews, and a personal workshop for you and your friends depending on the amount you donate. Dennis is an upstanding member of the psychedelic community, definitely not a scam lol.

Fuck this noise.
Terence trail blazed his own path and un-earthed the gems he did because he had the cajones and the intelligence.
Don't let his brother piggyback on his success by asking for money (to write a book ABOUT TERENCE, no less. How ironic can we be here?).
Klea McKenna, Terence's daughter, attempted a similar feat by selling off a printed art collection of photos, receipts, documents, and other traveling paraphernalia of Terence's - with her only contribution being the "scrapbooking" component.
DON'T CONFUSE THE RAFT WITH THE SHORE.
Yes, I used cruise control. This is fucking ridiculous.

He's not a celebrity. Stop kissing ass.
I bumped into a grandma one time in a grocery store.
See how this works?

Nobody, I'm just so dead beat tired of seeing the psychedelic community turn into a bunch of professionals who, to use Terence's words, "stand on each other's shoulders and kick each other's teeth in." We need to stop consuming culture and start creating culture -- remember the infamous creed? And here is his own brother recycling Terence's story to be regurgitated again and again. The majority of his lectures and books, and tons of interviews, are already transposed in digital formats. We don't need someone to tell me what he used to eat for breakfast.

Write it about your younger brother Martin, who used to wet the bed and let you touch his perineum that one time at Sunday school.

I think reading about the adventures of Terence and his brother from his brothers perspective will be an entertaining read. I wish him the best in his endeavor and I'll purchase the book when it's released.

Did you ever stop to think that Dennis can reveal a lot more about Terence's life? People write biographys about people all of the time and the motivating factor isn't always money. The writer is ususally intrigued about someone and wants to know more about them. This is how many books are written. I can understand how Dennis wants the funding and with how meticulous(sp?) and thorough he is, the book should be a winner.
yeah maybe his brother can shed some light onto why and when terrence went bat shit insane and devoted his life to elves

Don't be a pathetic voyeur. We already have: wikipedia, interviews, youtube videos, lectures and presentations, t-shirts, stickers, sampled vocals on electronic albums, deoxy archives, dozens of books, mushroom grow guides, etc.
This kind of fetishism and celebritydom is what Terence was against. He's rolling over in his fucking grave right now.

Terence had his adventures in order to come back and tell you to have YOUR OWN. I can understand if Dennis was sitting around translating this into Tagalog and Cantonese for the subjugated masses, but he's just trying to pull a penny. I've been to dozens of conferences and seen similar feats of piggybacking.
Support originality. Or, if you believe there is nothing new under the sun, then support people who admit that.

No thanks. If I am going to donate money it will be for people who are actually suffering.

I like Dennis McKenna and this seems like it would be a cool book.  Whale, Dennis co-wrote a lot of books with Terence. Quit being so hard on him.

It was a beautiful day in 1967 when someone who always got there first showed up on his doorstep with a little glass pipe and something akin to orange mothballs.

Like Jonathan Ott. He has no brother to write about and no one bought Pharmaceotheon because it was too expensive.
