 R
Gordon Wasson
Mycophile and vice-president of international
bank JP Morgan journeyed all around Mexico and South America in a
quest for magic mushrooms and spent a "wondrous" evening grinning
ear to ear, pupils like plates, after ingesting them in an ancient
shamanic ritual. He was later disgusted by the mushrooming* of his
discovery into a full-on 60's summer of love.

 Professor
Albert Hoffman
First Hoffman synthesised LSD-25. Then he extracted
psilocybin from Mexican mushrooms. He still remained in awe of the
fungi's power. "Essentially, when all is said and done, we can only
say that the mystery of the wondrous effects of teonanactl was reduced
to the mystery of the effects of two crystalline substances." |

 Timothy
Leary
Before he discovered LSD, Harvard psychology
professor Leary was captivated by psilocybin. He came back from his
first trip saying: "Listen! Wake up! You are God! You have the divine
plan engraved in cellular script within you. Listen! Take this sacrament!
You'll see!" |

 Terrence
McKenna
Spent his life working and living with shamans
all over the world. Advocated the somewhat controversial theory that
psilocybin was the missing link that had accelerated human evolution
in the last 300,000 years. Died recently of a brain tumour. |
