Terence McKenna: The Last Word

In this last recorded interview, Terence McKenna reflects on psychedelics, society, and mortality. He calls the War on Drugs a war on imagination, laments capitalism’s desecration of the sacred, and praises ayahuasca as nature’s teacher reconnecting humans to empathy and the planet. Facing death, he remains curious, unafraid, and grateful—still exploring the mystery he’d spent a lifetime mapping.
