In honour of those who came before us.
Today we recognize the birthday of Terence McKenna, an ethnobotanist, philosopher, and writer whose work helped shape modern conversations around psychedelic science.
McKenna’s commitment to studying psilocybin mushrooms, ayahuasca, and other plant medicines brought attention to their cultural significance and their potential roles in healing and self-inquiry. His lectures, books, and ideas encouraged many to look more closely at the relationship between psychedelics, psychology, and human experience.
On this day, we acknowledge his influence on the
renewed interest in psychedelic research and the ongoing effort to understand these substances with curiosity, responsibility, and respect.
