Podcast 700 – Plants That Talk
Support Lorenzo on Patreon.com
Guest speaker: Terence McKenna
PROGRAM NOTES:
We return once again to the land of Terence McKenna's workshops.
As you will hear, his question and answer format leads him into telling some of the old stories we heard early on in Terence's talks but some of which were dropped later on. As far as I can remember, this is the only time he talked about taking psychedelic substances in his dreams. -
Podcast 699 – Kneading the Bread of Evolutionary Adaptation
Support Lorenzo on Patreon.com
Guest speaker: Terence McKenna
PROGRAM NOTES:
In this talk, Terence approaches the topic of how little of what was considered to be established science 100 years ago has now been overturned.
One of the things he says in this talk may resonate with you is where he says, "You could almost describe psychedelics as enzimes for the activity of the imagination."

Podcast 698 – Uncomfortable About Psychedelics?

Guest speaker: Terence McKenna
PROGRAM NOTES:
Today begins our 20th year of podcasting from the Psychedelic Salon with a talk that Terence McKenna gave in the late 1980s. Near the end he talks about his daily cannabis use and how he and Kat got together. As far as I can remember, this is his only time that he got so personal. -

Guest speaker: Casey Hardison and Patreon Saloners
PROGRAM NOTES:
Today's podcast features a recording from a recent Live Salon. As usual, the conversation was free-form and didn't follow any script. One of the people who dropped by for the conversation was Casey Hardison, and his story captivated us.

Podcast 696 – Ayahuasca Use in the Amazon
Support Lorenzo on Patreon.com
Guest speaker: Charles Grob
PROGRAM NOTES:
Charlie Grob and Lorenzo (circa: 2012)
Today we feature a talk that Dr. Charles Grob gave at the 1994 Transpersonal Association Conference in Killarny, Ireland. The focus of this talk concerns Dr. Grob's work with ayahuasca users in Brazil.
As far as I know, this was the first government approved human study of the physiological effects of ayahuasca on humans. This study compared 15 long-term ayahuasca drinkers with healthy individuals and found that UDV members had lower levels of anxiety and many had overcome alcohol abuse.
Another study by Grob and Dartiu Xavier Silveira compared 40 adolescent ayahuasca drinkers with non-drinkers. The research showed positive outcomes, such as reduced alcohol consumption among UDV teenagers and improved mood, self-acceptance, and interpersonal relationships in participants. These studies contributed to understanding the therapeutic potential of ayahuasca

Podcast 695 – The Legendary D.M. Turner
Support Lorenzo on Patreon.com
Guest speakers: Elizabeth Gips and D.M. Turner
PROGRAM NOTES:
Today's podcast features what may be the only recorded interview of the legendary D.M. Turner. It was conducted by Elizabeth Gips.
FROM EROWID.ORG
Elizabeth Gips, was the beloved "psychedelic grandmother" and host of the radio show Changes where she interviewed hundreds of visionaries over a 30-year span.
D.M. Turner (born Joseph Vivian; 5 October 1962 – 31 December 1996) was an author, psychedelic researcher, and psychonaut who wrote two books on psychoactive drugs and entheogens. His first book, The Essential Psychedelic Guide, showcased his views on the subjective effects of various psychoactive and hallucinogenic substances. His second book, Salvinorin, addressed the effects of Salvia divinorum. Turner died after injecting an unknown quantity of ketamine while in a bathtub, drowning while presumably incapacitated by the effects of the drug.
