Neighbor used to hang out with Terrence McKenna

So my neighbor asks me to come over to her house to help her with some projects she wanted to start. I knew this lady kind of well as she watched my plants when I was out of town for a week but I never really talked to her one on one about anything other than weed but I went over anyways and we got into the discussion of consciousness and mushrooms and all that when she mentioned this enthobotanical club she either is in or was in but she was saying how she has memories of tripping Terrence McKenna and other people in the club. She told me how one time he went in to get a tax audit while on 9 hits of acid and he said he just had to just go with whatever happened and he won the fucking audit. I can't confirm if this is true but I have a very good feeling it is knowing this person's background. Any thoughts?

waow 9 hits of acid and governmental processes... sounds like some hilarious cosmic irony but also way too intense.

I thought terence was against man made drugs or atleast cautious of them and only took stuff that came from Earth like mushrooms, or cacti, or DMT. Pretty sure this is BS...sorry OP. I don't actually know I just remember hearing this
Anyone confirm?

I'm not sure how biased he was on the natural basis, but it seems that he just developed opinions based upon his own experiences. It seems that he was disappointed with LSD as a visionary tool but appreciated it as analytical personally. I think that he also blamed LSD for disrupting research into other psychedelics and having them banned, owing to the fact that it was so potent and assessable to so many. He did experiment with it though, and the story related here is at least possible.
You mention cacti. I do'nt believe T.M. was all too big on mescaline owing to the big dosages needed and small visionary tool to dangerous dosage window. Just shows how individual response varies and what's important to one in a substance. Mescaline and LSD are awesome IME, and DMT, T.M.'s fave it seems, always disappointed me. People be different.

He took a lot of LSD in his early years by the time he had taken DMT for the first time

Thousands of people must have met TM, but I'm wary of people's stories regarding meeting celebrities, there are so many shameless liars.

Yeah, it's kind of like Buckethead. People on youtube tell me they've met him all the time, and they give me these stories about him which are just so obviously full of shit. People like to talk big about their acquaintances... for no reason at all.
However, she may have really met him, who's to say
