Celebrity Ethnopharmacologist Dennis McKenna Shares Psychedelic Wisdom

My father is a scientist, so I grew up with that “reductionist” way of thinking.

All these reductionists that say, “That’s ridiculous! Plants can’t have nervous systems; they don’t have brains!” Well, I say they have a serious lack of imagination.

Has your father ever taken psychedelics?

Oh no. No, no, no.

He’s got to put that on his map. He’s a scientist. He is obliged to do that before he can say anything else about it. It’s like making a pronouncement about telescope optics without having looked through a telescope.

I recently met Dennis McKenna at the Harvard Natural History Museum to view the Glass Flowers exhibit. During our walkabout, McKenna pointed out psychoactive and psychedelic plants and shared his insights about the sacred healing plant ayahuasca.
