Er zijn ook hele docu's en audioopnames over en van die vent. Ik heb net m'n torrents weggegooid, maar ze staan vast nog wel ergens online.

Terence McKenna is in 2000 gestorven aan de gevolgen van een hersentumor.
Zijn broer Dennis vind ik persoonlijk interesanter![:)]()
David Nichols is 1 van mijn helden, papers in the journal of medicinal chemistry waar zijn naam mee opstaat zijn altijd leuk om te lezen.
Jochen Gartz was een professor mycologie in de DDR die zijn job verloor na de eenmaking (80% van het oostduitse accademisch personeel is toen vervangen door westduits).
De Shulgins heb ik nog op een andere conferentie ontmoet, leuke mensen.

An obituary from The Independent of London.
Obituary: Terence McKenna
by Alix Sharkey
04/15/2000
The Independent - London
FOREIGN
WHAT CAUSED self-reflective consciousness in our primate ancestors? What
was the catalyst for language, imagination, conceptual thought and reason?
Scientists, philosophers and academics posit various theories, but few more
radical than that of ethnobotanist and self-styled "psychonaut" Terence
McKenna .
McKenna claimed that human self-awareness is the result of psychedelic
serendipity. His 1992 book Food of the Gods argues that the accidental
ingestion of psilocybin mushrooms triggered sentience in foraging,
omnivorous apes and led them - us - to put rockets on the moon in the
evolutionary wink of an eye.
So-called "magic" mushrooms and their chemical relative DMT, he insisted,
are not drugs in the common sense but consciousness- expanding tools. It is
our moral duty to utilise them, he believed, in order to bootstrap
ourselves ever further up the evolutionary ladder. "Stronger doses, more
often," was the mantra that led to him being tagged the "Timothy Leary of
the Nineties" - allegedly by Timothy Leary himself.
He extended his theories about psychoactive substances and their influence
on culture and society in his follow-up book, The Archaic Revival (1992).
But perhaps he was at his most convincing - and entertaining - during the
informal lectures that he gave in private homes, and the chill-out rooms of
rave clubs, on his occasional visits to Britain.
A charming, playful and exceptionally erudite raconteur, his epic
discourses on the history of psychedelic evolution - he could talk for
hours without notes, never repeating himself or exhausting his line of
argument - were peppered with amusing anecdotes, classical quotations and a
nice line in self-deprecation.
"I am very uncomfortable with my position in the New Age," he once stated.
"I hate all that stuff - the quartz crystal suppositories and the
channelling of dead Egyptians - it's just an affront to the thinking mind."
Yet his wry humour could also disarm all but the most bitter sceptics. "Is
DMT dangerous?" he once asked rhetorically. "Well, only if you can die of
astonishment."
McKenna asserted that marijuana, DMT and psilocybin, as naturally- occuring
vegetal compounds with a long history of use by shamanic tribal cultures,
were safe for human consumption. However the nature of his death -
suddenly, relatively young, and from glioblastoma multiforma, a rare form
of cerebral cancer - will hardly further his cause. After a brain seizure
last May, doctors discovered that he had a malignant tumour.
Following chemical and radiation therapy he underwent brain surgery at the
end of last year and despite an initial improvement, suffered a rapid
relapse. From the outset he was open about his condition, his website
featuring typically offhand updates: "This is a mad and wild adventure at
the fractal edge of life and death and space and time," he wrote last
summer. "Just where we love to be, right, shipmates?"
Born in 1946 and raised as a Catholic in the Colorado cattle town of
Paonia, McKenna spent much of his youth memorising passages of James Joyce
and studying Carl Jung, in particular Psychology and Alchemy (1953). He
said that his first encounter with psychedelic thought was, "looking at
Colorado and trying to understand that it was once the shores of an ocean
with hundred-foot-long sauropods tromping through the mangrove swamps".
After moving to Los Altos, California, he settled in San Francisco in 1965
just as the Flower Power movement was beginning to emerge in Haight-
Ashbury. Perhaps unsurprisingly, it was here that he first tried cannabis
and LSD. Subsequently he attended UC Berkeley for two years and travelled
extensively through Asia, Europe and South America before completing his
self-tailored degree in ecology and shamanism in 1975. After graduating he
initially made his living dealing in Asian art.
However, it was during a trip to the Amazon jungle in 1971 that he and his
brother Dennis, a research pharmacologist, first encountered magic
mushrooms and DMT - the drug that McKenna would later describe as a
"megatonnage hallucinogen" and which would shape the rest of his life.
The brothers brought their South American treasure home with them, and
began to cultivate psilocybin mushrooms and spread their mycological
gospel. In 1975, they published their first book, The Invisible Landscape:
mind, hallucinogens and the I Ching, and by the 1980s were growing 70
pounds of fungi every six weeks.
They stopped following a friend's arrest, but by this time McKenna had
begun a new career, lecturing New Agers and old hippies on shamanic drug
use. By the early Nineties he had achieved celebrity with the rave
generation and the so-called psychedelic underground, inspiring the
chart-topping group the Shamen, who used his voice on their early
recordings and sponsored some of his visits to the UK.
McKenna met and married Kathleen Harrison in the mid-1970s, and after
settling near San Francisco they had a son, Finn, and a daughter, Klea.
After divorcing in 1992, McKenna moved to Hawaii, where he founded
Botanical Dimensions, a non-profit organisation dedicated to the
investigation of "ethnomedical" and sacred plants. He also established a
gene bank of rare species near his home - a modernist house with a huge
antenna dish. When he fell ill, McKenna had started a new life with his
artner Christy Silness, whom he had met at an ethnobotanical conference in
Mexico.
"My real function was to give people permission," he said in his last
interview, which will appear in the May issue of Wired magazine.
"Essentially, what I existed for was to say, `Go ahead, you'll live through
it, get loaded, you don't have to be afraid.' "
Terence Kemp McKenna, writer and ethnobotanist: born Paonia, Colorado 16
November 1946; married Kathleen Harrison (one son, one daughter; marriage
dissolved 1992); died San Rafael, California 3 April 2000.

Zie niet in waarom dit commercieel is. Ze verdienen er geen klap op, en als je het commercieel wilt bekijken kost het alleen maar geld. Geen attachments en speciaal onderwerp is waarschijnlijk omdat je post dan door hun spamfilters heenkomt.

Dit stond op een ander forum:
-The conference started on a Friday 13th,next day was full moon and everyday there was sunshine (but very cold).And the Astrologist/apologist who made a horoskop for a 100 year old men didn't take notice...yes I'm scientist.
-Hofmann took LSD last time when he was 97.
-Shulgin works on the 5-Ethoxitryptamins and other stuff
-deadline for submitting new compounds for the Psychedelic Index (1500pages...please submit it with your name for reference,otherwise he can't prove it)) is middle of this year,there will also be a 3rd book ("QUIHKAL" lol) with different chemicals including Quinolins.But Sasha and Ann feel exhausted,PLEASE PLEASE TAKE CARE OF IT!
-heard DOTFM has initial activity at 300ug
-2C-TFM was brought up to 15mg (strong,I recollect 5mg being a full dose in me,the other gives 6-15mg as the range)
-it can't be coincidence that LSD searched for a bright chemist in a peaceful country at the same time of WW2 and the first atomic bomb exploded
-a lot of research still going on,Nichols will publish a new paper describing the full psychedelic receptor/transmitter pathways (if I got that right)
-Vollenweider (Heffter) made an interesting discovery about some glutamat uptake inhibitor plus an enzyme inhibitor (also a new paper coming),many new brain scans from new human studies with psilocybin (because less stigmatized than LSD) and Ketamin
-Charles grob presented data on a study with terminal cancer patients,very impressive,about 70% of individuals had good or medium success
-MAPS is positive to get permission to do studies with MDMA and maybe psilocybin (Rick Doblin of course is an optimist)-he also says that we shouldn't label us "counterculture",this will only evoke counterpressure from the authorities.In turn,they might listen.There appears a new psychedelic generation to evolve,more pragmatic less drop outs,also in the society a new more open generation comes forth,hasn't been influenced/traumatized by the sixties-hippy-LSD-Vietnam cluster.
-the CIA added a lot of bad press on LSD intentionally and did itself nasty torture stuff under LSD
-I learned a huge deal of psychotherapy,it already works,the day after I feel extremely relaxed and happy!
-there was a wonderful collection of psychedelic art
-the mysteries of Eleusis appear to be a fact
-many shiny friendly warm people,no bad incidents during the conference.Altough I have seen a few (old ones) which looked like "broken".
-Rolf Verres,a doctor,said take care,and also do take care of others,particularly the young people!
Very important:Albert Hofmann wants LSD to be taken out of the forbidden status,but emphasizes strongly to put it into the category of SACRED DRUGS.He's a man who is increasingly worried about the materialism/destruction of the world,we should all more and more deeply appreciate the CREATION and nature,LSD can be a help.In every other sentence he brings out a small wisdom,wow is he still alert-a wise old men!He closed with saying that we all showed to him that his problemchild is really a wonderchild.God bless him.
Okay,thats about the chaos I have in my brain right now to find its right place...
