Psychedelic Science | Dr. Dennis McKenna | EP 299

Dr Jordan B Peterson and Dr. Dennis McKenna discuss the science behind psychedelics, the entities found through the looking glass, the current pharmaceutical approach to long life, and why it needs to change.
Dr. Dennis McKenna is an American ethnopharmacologist, lecturer and author. He is a founding board member and the director of ethnopharmacology at the Heffter Research Institute, a non-profit exploring the therapeutic uses of psychedelic medicines. McKenna received his masters in botany at the University of Hawaii in 1979, followed by his doctorate in the same field at the University of British Columbia in 1984. Dennis is the brother of Terrence McKenna, a cultural figure and proponent for the exploration of psychedelics. Together they co-authored The Invisible Landscape. Much later McKenna would write a memoir, Brotherhood of the Screaming Abyss, detailing he and his brothers exploits in the field. Today, Dennis tours and lectures, while also running the McKenna Academy of Natural Philosophy, which seeks to uncover the mysteries of consciousness held within the realm of botany and pharmacology.
Dr Peterson's extensive catalog is available now on DailyWire+: utm.io/ueSXh

    That’s great to hear, and I am happy for you. But do not forget that our minds, with or without psych drugs, can also play tricks on us. Reality is often very hard, so fantasy, in whatever form, can be a great comfort, and fantasy can seem like reality. Most people choose fantasy over reality. And who am I to argue?

    LSD and mushrooms completely changed my whole outlook on life. I became a better version of myself This experience gave me a lot of confidence about my self and my body. A bunch of bad thought / behavior patterns were broken. One of these was pretty bad OCD that made me wash my hands a lot. It gave me a lot of hope that things will be fine, this is the one thing that I heard throughout the trip: Everything is alright. The main reason for the trip was my severe depression and it definitely helped me (although it's not gone). Before all I could do was lay in bed. Now I am trying to rebuild my life one step at a time which wasn't possible before."

    He only defends himself in other conversations because of that he is such a kind spirit. Others would just have rejected these uncouth attacks. Others are attacking Jordan Peterson because of the intense fear he induces in those who have no integrity, no commitment or no spirit (or all of them) in their lives. I too thank Mr. Peterson for his enormous work in producing these endlessly interesting philosophical, scientific, psychological and other videos. What a production. What a human being. Wow.

I 100% contribute the natural experiences I had with the strength I acquired to disseminate the difference between "right and wrong". Over 20 years later... I'm so proud of the man I've become. A certain level of gratitude is directly aimed at said experiences.

    So as for your fourth sentence, I hate to tell you, but it didnt make any sort of sense. It had no grammatical or syntactical value. Having said that, if I assume you made the rather understandable mistakes of saying "contribute" when you meant "attribute" (an easy mistake) and "disseminate" when you meant "differentiate" (an easy spelling error), and substitute those more sensible words in, then it makes sense. Have I understood your meaning sufficiently?

The could've, would've, should've thinking was a caustic poison that i relived every moment, each single day, stuck in the past.... and missing the present. The alcohol wasn't helping the TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) much, either. I was an FMF Corpsman, btw. A combat medic. One night, a miracle really, a marine buddy of mine called me when i was in a bad way. He told me to put down a gun and wait for him, and that "Eating a mushroom is a heck of a lot healthier for the head, than a bullet". Basically, i went on a detox from society and technology for a while. It took a while, but I got right with myself and God; before getting sober, and going to seminary.

    I have had only one Ahyuhuasca experience. What began as a beautiful journey on the first evening ended up as a nightmare on the second night. I began having confusing visions and was barely able to stand, think or breathe. I have tried to find help and wanted to leave the session and the group. I was then literally paralyzed for hours both emotionally and physically. Then I began to develop heavy paranoia that lasted for a few days. I was the only one at the session with those issues. I saw an entity that was confirmed later by others as "The Mother". It was half plant-, half alien-like entity and it communicated with me. But only on the first night it was as described by others. The second night went off rail really quickly... My experience was still invaluable but left me puzzled and confused.

    Dr. McKenna was my professor in Minneapolis, and I joined his class partly because I had long known of his brother Terence but also because it was titled: People, Plants, and Drugs. Cool course about the long history of experimental uses of plants, focusing on long term health but also empirical first-hand testing per individual. He always struck me as open to any topic of conversation, even entertained an idea in my presentation that the burning bush in the bible is harmala bush, containing one of the ingredients necessary to have a dmt experience if mixed with acacia, another widely dispersed plant in the region who's wood was often used for bowls/containers. He also made a joke when I was describing dmt experiences, saying "I take it you have personal knowledge of this to describe it so well?" lol. Anyway, great to see him still doing great work for psychedelics and the welfare in general with that distinct voice of his.

    @@mplscorrupt6125 hey sorry I took so long to see this. Thank you for asking. I wouldn't say I have anything particularly unique to add to the genre of trip reports, however I'd say I'm fairly resistant to, let's say, overly spiritual thinking. I tend to take all the experiences as alternative methods of taking information in through the senses and throughout the neurons, as opposed to taking on the strong feeling that it is information coming in from another dimension. Especially with DMT, that is a difficult sensation to avoid, but I take the dmt experience that so many relate to as a reflection of our deepest neural structures that we all share, not something exterior of us. Anyway, my main takeaway from psychedelics is epistemic in nature, namely that the certainty that people walk around with and spout every day is quite hilarious. If you took the time to display the lack of foundation and axioms underlying their utterances, their whole web of opinions would fall apart due to the sudden realization that they both rest upon very little base structure and are connected with a fairly weak adhesive. My main area of study is Philosophy, and I took psychedelics initially with the express goal of deleting all extraneous or unfounded certainty, a very draining yet enlightening process. I wouldn't recommend it necessarily, as I found I also may have deleted many social queue type information that has made me seem awkward because I have deemed many of the little micro-games to be petty or goofy, or just fail to notice them at all. However, it's allowed me to, in my estimation, create an epistemic web of axioms from the ground up that seem the most grounded in reality and truth. Of course, I don't forget my initial goal, and am always attacking this pyramid. But that's all I can really say for now, I think, other than that I am definitely more sensitive to bright light now lol.

    The death thing really struck a chord with me because I watched my grandfather beat cancer once but then get it again and have an awful final year of his life. Everyone around him was making him push his time alive as long as possible but in reality he suffered for months, and he didn’t even want to. I think as a society we are so scared of death that we push many through the same process, but maybe giving people a better outlook would be better. Maybe if my grandfather had taken some psychedelics he would’ve had a longer time of enjoying life towards those last couple years instead of a longer time actually alive but suffering. And if we all had accepted the reality of his situation, maybe we would have said the things we wanted to say before he was comatose because now none of us will ever know if he truly heard it

    Do you plan on quitting weed? I think it's messing with my brain on a learning and memory level and I want to quit before having kids. Terence McKenna had a different mind. Dennis jokes about their hippy circles back in the 70s where they would pass joints around and Terence would start talking while the others are rendered speechless. We are the others. Terence was unique and often gave bad advice (when in doubt, double your dose). He was flawed in many ways like the rest of us, but he wasn't completely honest about psychedelics. Dennis has talked about it but not entirely. Apparently Terence had a bad mushroom trip and quit psychedelics while still repeating "double your dose". It was his "shtick" as he called it and he wasn't going to let a bad trip stop him. If true, he should have been honest about it. The advice he got from "the mushroom" wasn't always good either. He said the mushroom told him Westerners should have less children because their carbon footprint is 50 times more than someone's from India. Maybe some people agree with that but I think it's bad advice. His insights and ability to speak like that on weed was fascinating. I think stoned ape theory is cool but timewave theory was mostly nonsense. Dennis has told many stories which make Terence sound crazy, like wanting to create a kind of philosophers stone with his mind on really high doses of psilocybin mushrooms in the jungles of South America. It was deranged stuff about numerology which didn't make sense but being that high, I could totally see how you could fall for everything and nothing. I feel like I've heard almost everything Terence has said and I read 'Food of the Gods' but it's been many years since I listened to him. As I get older, I'm more afraid of doing psychedelics. Weed is an almost daily thing and like Graham Hancock, I feel like it's preventing me from actualizing myself in the real world. Are you entirely content with smoking weed every day? Or do you want to quit too?

    Death in all of its wonderful glory was explained to me through a series of DMT encounters. I spent what seemed an eternity in a timeless void whereby I was basked in an energy that introduced itself as "the creator" in the glowing radiance of a remarkably bright light. When I explained that I did not think I would ever overcome the grief of my mother's sudden passing, this energy allowed a loving warmth embrace me with an entity I intuitively felt was the spiritual essence of a maternal figure. I was drawn into a sensation of complete release and I felt as though a part of me merged with this figure until I became fully immersed in what can only be described as an eternal love. My fear and anxiety about death subsided immediately and I remain unafraid and with an acceptance of the welcoming embrace that awaits when the biological journey comes to an end. I credit these experiences as possibly the most profound events I have ever known.

    I'm not sure what he would say/think, as he so completely studied shamanic culture and understood it to the degree that he understood Western culture is far from it. Is the problem truly psychopathology or the culture? Jiddu Krishnamurti said that "it is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society." Perhaps enough people can engage the plant Spirits and experience an unfolding that exponentially awakens us to the sickness of the culture and we can effectively change it? But, I'm afraid that taking these powerful entheogenic Spirits within a set and setting of Western allopathic psychopathology modeling will only enslave the Spirits. Do they work for us, or do we work for them?

    @@sigmamale4147 - perhaps not. But we can call it out and even resist it. One of the things Terence said that keeps returning to me in my own shamanic practice is "The shaman is a person who is able to transcend the dimensional confines of cultural existence. They know more than the people they serve. The people they serve are like children within the game of culture. Only the shaman knows that culture is a game. Everyone else takes it seriously. That's how he can do his magic." I know that sounds rather arrogant, but it's true. It's true not because of judgement of better, or more, but because there's a universality to shamanic experience that transcends culture completely. Terence understood the role of culture because he studied so many of them and I believe this gave him insights that helped him discern what was culture and what was real spiritual experience, real transformative power. Another thing he said: "If you keep yourself as the final arbiter you will be less susceptible to infection by cultural illusion." He spoke a lot about culture, and the sickness of Western culture. The death terror is one of the symptoms of this sickness. Going along this thought for.a brief diversion- I think this is where Dennis doesn't quite have it right. He talks about psilocybin working to help relieve anxiety of terminally ill patients by reminding them to be present to the moment. Actually, the soul science would say this: entheogenic journeys into the Spirit realms allow us to "practice" dying. They allow us the opportunity to die, to let go of the control afforded through our corporeal, rational materialist grasp on "reality", to leave our bodies and fall into the Spirit realm. This paves a way for dying, making it not some unknown and terrifying process, but offers a comfort in familiarity. The First People of the Americas often had 'death songs', similar to 'soul songs' that were unique to them and given early in life. They'd sing them in times of impending death and with the purpose of connecting to the journey into the Spirit realm. Returning to your inquiry about changing society- we can transcend it. And we can be mindful of it and call it out. I think psychedelics offer a potential for a shamanic Renaissance, and certainly people like Rak Razam and Daniel Pinchbeck are in the ranks with Terrence in that regard. But this is one path of shamanic expression. Like anything there's a potential for the Western model to consume it. The ouroborus trap. This is why I believe the answer is shamanism, and not specifically psychedelics. I don't practice entheogenic shamanism for several reasons. I respect it if it's practiced in integrity. But it's why I'm here, commenting and willing to discuss- when we raise the awareness about these things it brings a hope of evolving (which sometimes actually looks like regression) in a manner that corrects the course we're on as a culture. It starts with the individual. And a willingness to resist and even rise above the cultural status quo.

    Psychedelics are popular in Australia for people who have treatment resistant conditions, and thus I left the military after 16 years to set up Enlighten Mental Health to support people who are using these substances recreationally. We offer psychedelic integration and harm reduction services in Australia right now and are veteran owned and operated. For those who may not be aware, ket is an approved treatment for DVA clients with PTSD and depression. Psychedelics may be a catalyst for change, but there are no short cuts. You’ve still got to do the hard work.

    Fantastic interaction. It was comforting to hear Dr McKenna expressing concepts that I've pondered on myself. I've used psychedelics a lot over the years, buying into the wishy-washy, pseudo-intellectual projections from "seasoned" trippers left me at a total dead end. It wasn't until I took a step back and formed my own narrative/beliefs surrounding psychedelics that I started to make real progress. It also led to a significant reduction in the amount of psychedelics I was consuming i.e. less is more. I like the analogy of "tripping", meaning: to go on a "trip" is to take a vacation, and you should always bring back some souvenirs - permanent and useful in your future endeavours.

    Many years now after a spiritual awakening...many things that I experienced were very hard to come to terms with once re-engaged into what I referred to as mundane reality. You have explained what I experienced Dr McKenna, in a simpler framework, which I really appreciate! No psychotropic were involved, but...from my own experience to have used drugs would have complicated it! My experience intensified for six months and caused a mental and emotional breakdown and affected all my sensory and olfactory processes as well as the enormous amount of data that seemed to be downloaded into me! I was aware of many things that before escaped my brains ability to take in! I experienced "out of body" and interdimensional shifting.However I did not encounter any entities but internally I was guided to books and to things such as multivitamins as well as a change in diet! From the start, the awareness that this was a spiritual event was strong!

    Brilliant discussion. Very happy to see Dennis getting a little hyped on Jordans questions and ideas. He must be happy when people show interest in his slightly obscure but essential and amazing work. Thanks for helping me gain some valuable insights. I think for me psilocybin, dmt, mescaline feel a lot more earthier and organic with this amazing deep spiritual quality. Lsd can also be very hyper-interesting and I think also deeply spiritual at times. I think I remember Terrance saying something along the lines of a good trip takes practice, Almost like a meditation. Yes this resonates. Yes psychedelics are like defalt reality filter removers and or set amplifiers and set resetters. I really enjoy tripping in nature too . I also like combining lsd with tree meditation, I mean a special session like this only once every 3-6 months or something. I try to meditate wherever I can on most days. Psychedelics in my mind have definitely helped me with a lot of emotional issues. I strongly believe psychedelics have made me a happier , healthier, and smarter( more conscious or more aware) person to some degree. *One of the most beautiful mushroom trips I ever had was when my brother gave me his share of mushrooms that he picked that day before he left to go back to his family, So it was enough for 1 good dose, as we both did not find so many during that foraging session. I went back home alone to trip sitting next to the fire. Love ya bro ! I think his generosity that day made the experience a hundred times more amazing. Some tears of happiness for sure ! *It was so very beautiful being able to see my own life and issues from outside my own mind and see that I was blooming all along. And how little silly things and other things we worry about simply dont bother me so much anymore. But it's a work in progress Thanks guys keep going ! PS... I came up with a zen quote adaptation that you might like that rings very true for me. ~ Meditation is a lot like cleaning... Those that struggle with it, will benefit from it the most ~

Thank you for making this happen Mr. Peterson. You have made a man very happy today. I have listend to days of Terrence Mckenna lectures I dont care how out there he gets. That man truly understood the psychedelic experience and was incredibly well read. His voice helped me through many tough times through my teenage years and is the perfect example of a true anarchist. The Mckenna Brothers touched me in a way no other intellectuals have and I truly belive Terrence to be one of the greatest minds to grace this side of the universe. The same could be said for his brother Dennis. Again, thank you for making this a reality for so many "Mckennanites" lol.

    Loved this conversation! Long been a fan of you, Dr. Peterson, as well as the McKenna brothers from years long ago. I wish though that your discussion of Ayahuasca users meeting “entities” within their experiences had included a discussion of similar experiences of users of Salvia Divinorum. I don’t recall from Terence & Dennis’ books if they had used Salvia, but can’t imagine that they hadn’t. But, also I would like to have heard more openness to other explanations besides that of the archetypal creations of our imaginations. I recall the powerful experiences of M.Scott Peck, described in his book People of the Lie, for instance, where in his experiences with exorcism he became convinced about the reality of ‘demons’, or trans dimensional entities, which can have powerful influential effects on people. Anyway, thank you both for your contributions to our mindfulness.

    This conversation is amazing to watch and listen too. 3 years ago the first 6 months of COVID the universe put me in the position to meet my first ever LSD dealer, I was consuming fruit pastels with 2 drops on each, 10 for £75. I was in a serious depression and I am diagnosed with ADHD to be clear and so you know my brain obviously operates a bit differently as a standard. At the end of the 6 months I was getting annoyed with how much I was tripping, my first sign that something had changed mentally for me. I then started to realise I was asking myself certain questions about my behaviour and direction in life. I had 4 fruit pastels left in the fridge, one side of me said to take them all and be done with LSD, so I did and from there I took off into the most amazing night of my life on my own, the times before had been 1 or 2 fruit pastels where colour and wavy symbols would appear anywhere I looked, hair would seem like it's moving on its own and rolling a joint was the hardest thing ever to do. This time round having 4 I felt like I went back to being a baby, i forgot how my door worked, just looked at it like hmmmm, this is in the way of where I need to get to, what's that sticking out, oh it turns, holy shit there's the place I need to get too... Seems ridiculous at first I'll explain why it's not soon, the next thing that happened I went to the toilet and boom mirror right in my face, changing from young to old all the way to feline, and then I got trapped in my eye pupil, like I kept zooming into it and back out and back into it until I pulled away. I went back to my room and found myself looking into the deep blackness of my off TV, no shit this cloud of all colours began to form, and with that stars, planets, moons, black holes, I was forming a universe in my TV, until everything around it began to melt, at which point the thought popped into my head, I don't want to go, I didn't want to leave reality so I looked away and put my head into my bed cover, then looked around and everything was normal again. The door was me telling myself to stop shutting doors on myself in life, the faces changing was I believe how I've never really loved myself in the way that I should, I don't know why though, and seeing myself change but remaining myself is again a lesson in I am who I am, the eyeball trap is my inability to separate myself from my obsessions in research, the universe building was me telling myself I have the ability to create the life I want and everything melting around that universe was my subconscious reminding me that the whole thing was a trip and pulled me back to this reality where I always was and have been but I haven't been living like I am in this reality, like I think a lot of us do by creating bubbles that we feel safe in. The none love for myself I'm guessing comes from the lack of physical love me and my sister experienced as children and I have to subconsciously let that go and move on. You know what happened the next morning? I signed up to adult college and now I am about to finish my first year of university in Bath, a gift from me to myself cause it took 6 months for all the LSD to wear off and then I was like ahhhhh, so I'm in college and I'm doing well, it's almost like whatever LSD does when it wears off gives us back the steering wheel, so be careful please and don't do what I did with the 4 fruit pastels, I wasn't in the best place and I'm not sure about the chance this type of change will happen for everyone.

    I love how when you blink EVERYTHING resets. How often we you dosing on 1-2 before doubling? Every time I ever took less than, say, 5 I would mainly get body high and the feeling I get on the comedown (buzzy, I can "see" your aura) would be constant. Or I wouldn't feel anything at all for hours until I hit breakthrough after consuming more. But that's also subjective. There was a month where I had had half a strip night before Columbus Day, 3 days later took 2 tabs and was just as gone, a week after that had 6 and it was just the buzziness.

    I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS. Jordan is the only speaker who can match Terence's eloquence. Would be interesting to have heard Terence's perspective on the "dominator culture" today taking into consideration Peterson's perspective on men's and women's roles in society. I am sure they would have had a beautiful civil discussion. EDIT: My point was, after listening to Terence since 2007, I was always seeking to find someone even remotely close to having his level of eloquence. The moment I first hear Jordan in 2016, I was blown away. Both great thinkers.

    Thank you both for the stimulating if not at times painfully cerebral dialog! Painful in that I wished I was present to mediate and contribute my insights based on my own experience and the observation I made that it seemed as if an engineer was talking to a construction superintendent. The theoretical interface with the practical, hands on. That said, I think a fine job was done trying to quantify or crystallize a topic as ephemeral as consciousness. I was intrigued with the characterization of the entities. That similar classes of beings have shown up for different participants in the ceremonies from vastly different cultures could point to a few possibilities. Certainty the archetypes may be being accessed by a biological response to a certain class of compounds which would point to the possibility they exist within us. Similarly they may be part of the genetic compliment of plant itself. How can we quantify life. Yet, notions of the spirit of earth as Gaia, or Panchamama may explain the ubiquitous “Green Goddess” which many see and interact with while journeying under Ayahuasca’s influence. One last thing. As a 74 year old with a cancer diagnosis and a much younger wife, I’ve come to that appreciation for the goldmine that is this moment. The event horizon of my own demise has come out of the fog where it was kept for most of my life and made itself known. Now all I have ?or ever have had) is now. It’s made me a better person!

    We need more conversations like this about these magical substances. Very few people have come out of a trip, even a bad one, and not learned something fundamentally positive and life-changing. The demonization of psychedelics in our society has been a detriment to the psychological health of our entire species. Maybe that's why everything's so fucked up today.

    I remember when my friends and I were first learning about psychedelics after high school and talking about it very constructively (as much as 18-19 year olds can anyway), and a kid who was going to the same high school we went to said, and I quote, "LSD? That shit's like crack!" lmao.

    @raulcanoescuder3082 PSA: Do NOT trust ANYONE advertising psychedelics online. ALL of these Instagram "psych vendors" are fake without exception. And even if there are legit ones out there, you're better off assuming they're all fake anyway because the chances of a legit source being on there are so astronomically low. These things are illegal almost everywhere (and I'd imagine definitely illegal to sell casually even if you can buy it from a legal store) and regardless, you should only acquire them from trustworthy sources and always test as much and as thoroughly as possible. I know someone who knows someone who was hospitalized from taking 2 tabs of 25i NBOMe before going to work. Said his boss turned into a witch or something and was having very confusing visual effects, then ended up unconscious and foaming at the mouth. He very nearly died that day, but luckily survived.

    You are correct, this is why humanity has gone so completely insane. At least that's what I believe, as well as Terence McKenna. His book 'Food of the Gods', which is like my Bible, theorizes that human consciousness came about from the ingestion of psilocybin mushrooms by our primate ancestors over the course of 2 million years on the plains of Northern Africa. Then the Ice age hit and the mushrooms were gone, and we migrated out of Africa and then....history. Psilocybin mushrooms are what connected us to nature, to our mother earth. And history has been this nightmare in which we are trying to get back what was lost. Our connection to nature. Looking at the world through this lens I have found that everything just falls into place so perfectly. It sounds out there and crazy at first, yes. But give it some time, give it a chance, and I'm certain you'll see the same - puzzle pieces falling into place perfectly

    Dr. Peterson has VASTLY improved at not interrupting. He's of course a brilliant guy, but he did have the tendency to talk over and re-describe people's points when they're mid-sentence. But part of high intelligence is the ability to learn and improve approach, and now, he has far better self-discipline on that, and it's making him a top notch podcaster now.
