One of the few major psychedelics conferences during the dark age of the “Just Say No” Reagan regime was the Psychedelics and Spirituality Conference (aka Psychedelic Conference II), held on the campus of UC-Santa Barbara on May 13-14, 1983.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The speakers were a “who’s who” of drug discoverers and researchers: Albert Hofmann, Humphry Osmond, Ralph Metzner, Alexander Shulgin, Walter Houston Clark, Terence McKenna, Andrew Weil, Carl Ruck and Jonathan Ott.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Timothy Leary, Joan Halifax and Kathleen Harrison (McKenna) were in attendance but did not give formal talks.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It was at this conference that Sasha Shulgin announced his discovery of 2C-B and delivered one of his greatest talks, “Drugs of Perception.” It was also here that Terence McKenna (in his brother Dennis’ words) “marked his emergence as a public persona with his talk ‘Hallucinogens: Monkeys Discover Hyperspace, aka Return to the Logos.’

In the 1970s, two of the most influential thinkers of the psychedelic era gathered what was then known about psilocybin botany and culture and presented it in "Psilocybin: Magic Mushroom Grower's Guide". Writing under pseudonyms, the McKenna brothers provided simple, reliable, and productive methods for magic mushroom propagation, including black-and-white photographs that showed the techniques of the time.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The development of more modern cultivation techniques does not eclipse the cultural contributions of this book. Philosophical asides, whimsical illustrations evoking the mystical nature of mushrooms, and speculations about the relationship of these organisms to humankind provide a lasting legacy. Truly the classic manual on home cultivation, the wisdom of "Psilocybin: Magic Mushroom Grower's Guide" continues to inspire new students of psycho-mycology and refreshes psychedelic memories for others.

Psilocybin is a psychedelic tryptamine compound found in ~200 types of mushrooms worldwide. In a 1998 workshop titled "In The Valley of Novelty," Terence McKenna called it "the phosphorylated form of DMT," and observed that both psilocybin and DMT "particularly seem to impact the language forming portions of the brain, and this produces truly bizarre states of mind, because it's the language forming part of you that's explaining moment to moment what is going on." For McKenna, psilocybin provided "the same confrontation with an alien intelligence and extremely bizarre translinguistic information complexes" as DMT.
