About Terence McKenna

An American ethnobotanist and mystic who advocates the responsible use of naturally occurring psychedelic plants. Interested in psychedelic drugs, plant-based entheogens, shamanism, metaphysics, alchemy, language, philosophy, culture, technology, environmentalism, and the theoretical origins of human consciousness. I've been called the "Timothy Leary of the '90s" and "one of the leading authorities on the ontological foundations of shamanism", and the "intellectual voice of rave culture".
