I dont have an opinion one way or the other since I know very little about him, but I always thought he was a scientist or psychologist. I likened him to "The Doors of Perception" Aldous Huxley.

By the way, that book was largely lost on me since I didn't understand all of the eastern philosophy references.


He was a philosopher. Meaning he thought about shit lol

He's just another high kid like the rest of us, yet he gets some sort of reverance like hes a sage or a prophet


Not to mention he likely date raped someone while they were on datura. Recounted in his book True Hallucinations. I believe on page 61.

Didn't know about the datura date rape thing, I'd love to see a quote because I don't own any of his books.

Aside from allegations like that, no, I'll reserve my shade for Terence McKenna for after I've published even one book.

But where I live and move, most people have never heard of him. And most who have heard of him see him as an amusing kook who had some interesting ideas. I guess there are advantages to living so far from Wook Central.

Also, I mean, I don't really put any authors in the world of psychedelia on a pedestal. All the grow books I'm aware of are outdated warm garbage, and all the rest is speculation and various people acting like they're the first person to discover this world. I thought "My Problem Child" and "Doors of Perception" were the shit when I was a teenager. In retrospect, I see a couple of well-off nerds with questionable politics acting like the Christopher Columbus of psychedelics. The whole point, to me, is that people have been doing this shit for thousands of years, and everyone has an equal opportunity to sort things out for themselves.

This is him reading from his book. I find the experience to be very problematic when you have positioned yourself as a guide, or even just a friend introducing others to new substances.

To me McKenna was just a vocal tripper with a healthy imagination and willingness to blurt it out as though he had something earth shattering to say. Most people at that time didn’t have the experience themselves so what he said held sway. He traveled to find source and other experienced medicine people. But was he anything more than an interlocutor? I don’t think so.

I'll have to watch that when I get the chance. I haven't paid any attention to the psychedelic world or the characters in it in a long time. But I've noticed in general alot of the psychedelic guru guys tend to take advantage of people with their shtick.

McKenna was not a Guru, but a doubter, a storyteller and a psychonaut with A LOT of mileage.

He was a very original thinker, a master of art history, a butterfly collector and a traveler.
And above all an artist of language with a true gift. The man could talk - and entertain!

To disregard him or muddy his importance as a cultural figure is just ridiculous coming from most people.
i for one would have loved to be his friend and hang out with his brilliant educated freaky open mind.

edit: whoever doesnt really know him or his lectures, i recommend you go to archive.org and search for him.
The Psychedelic Salon has uploaded most of his lectures.
Enjoy the ride

I kinda failed to directly articulate it, but I guess that's one of the things I respect about McKenna- he wasn't a guru or a guy who claimed to be any sort of first. Him and Carlos Castaneda are the only people I can think of who really presented themselves more as journalists than anything else. I know a lot of the stuff he spouted was bullshit, but that's the thing. He wasn't telling people they had to believe it. He was just riffin'. I gotta respect that.

Well, I woke up to a message from my mom that her older brother died last night. Then I went to take a shit and my roommate just got in there and started the shower, I said "please hurry, ive gotta drop one" he said "i just woke up" as if that changes I need to take a shit. Then he proceeded to get in the shower and clean himself. I guess him being clean is more important than me not shitting myself. Thankfully theres a public bathroom nearby, but who wants to take their morning shit like that?

Made me late for the bus, but a death in the family is good enough reason to stay home.

My other roommate was running a little behind so I offered him a ride, but I had a flat tire...

Texted a friend for a ride to Walmart for a jack, but aparently I needed a new tire iron too cuz the one I had was too big...

My spare is in rough shape but holds air... Hopefully weight doesnt change that and I can make it to walmart to get the decent one patched...

I went through the process of giving my data to walmart to get that tire iron delivered but they flagged my card thinking It was someone else...

Now I've gotta wait a half hour to get it verified, but only after bitching when the dude said it would take an hour... im so fucking done with today...

Rip Bob weir.    The god father of  greatful dead.  Most influential rhythm guitar player and creator of their unique sound died yesterday.


He was the king to Jerry Garcia yang. 
His  style of playing was creative and unique.  And un able to be replicated.  So many have tried. 


Jerry once said.  The way Bob plays the guitar and writes music is so creative and unique  and intuitive.

Its almost like he in my head seeing the riffs im gonna play before I even kno.

  Then he lays down the absolute perfect rhythm. I almost unconsciously play lead guitar perfectly mixed in with his rhythm and it really is just the perfect sound. It is Grateful Dead
