Dennis McKenna on Plant Medicines as Catalysts for the New Paradigm

All experience is a drug experience. Whether it’s mediated by our own [endogenous] drugs, or whether it’s mediated by substances that we ingest that are found in plants, cognition, consciousness, the working of the brain, it’s all a chemically mediated process. Life itself is a drug experience.

— Dennis Mckenna

In order to spread it, you have to spread information. You have to do what plant people have always done: share your plants across the back fence; get your neighbors to grow them; teach them how to use the plants; encourage them to tell their neighbors about it. It’s a very organic co-evolutionary process and that’s why it’s unstoppable. You cannot criminalize all of nature. There are attempts but they are doomed. This is too powerful. It’s too subversive.

— Dennis McKenna
