My first experience was probably, well, close to a decade later.

And I thought, before I took it, I thought I kind of knew what to expect.

I mean, I'd listened to all the Terence McKenna lectures I could find.

I'd read all the books.

I read all the trip reports.

And I thought, OK, I'm kind of ready for this.

I kind of know what's going to happen.

And I wasn't ready.

And I was shocked.

I was horrified, in a sense.

I was appalled.

I mean, this was like...

This is impossible.

This was an impossible experience.

I was confronted with what seemed to me to be the undeniable hand of some kind of intelligence, and not just any kind of intelligence, but a supremely advanced, ancient, and yet highly technological intelligence.

And that was undeniable to me in those first few moments, within sort of 30 seconds of

that drug hitting my my brain I knew that this is this is something else and I was at first horrified I was shocked I just thought this what is this and then when I finally kind of came back I wish I was I remember lying on my bed on my back like shaking to my very bones and all I could say was oh my fucking god because I

I was completely confounded.

By then, I was a chemical pharmacologist.
