terrence mckenna is one of those guys
that people who love to get absolutely blitzed on atomic lsd bongs read and talk about in order to feel like they're exploring frontiers of the mind rather than just their couches.
He was able to get so high that not only did he think he was a scientist, but *other* people thought so too.

I've always found the experience of psychedelics to be pretty subjective anyway; they merely enhance your current emotional state, as well as making everything look cool. Terrance is a bit of a bridge too far imo.
This might be of interest though:

ooh yeah, did you post this a few years ago?
proper madness.
I seem to remember another one with drug filled honey from psychadelic jungle bees.
I bet taking psychadelics is extremely fun and perplexing,
and I am a big supporter of fun and being perplexed.

No I didn't post it before
It is extremely fun but not perplexing. I suppose mushrooms can be, but just to the point where you find hilarity in the day-to-day. As far as I'm concerned, they're very safe, providing firstly you're in a fair state of mind to begin with (however I used to be a depressive, and I wholeheartedly claim mushrooms helped to absolve that), and that you put yourself in a comfortable situation with good friends and good music. And pillows.

For pillow sex?
I like regular eating mushrooms. This all sounds great,

Mmmm... mushrooms
Always found the mental effects fairly mixed.. if the you-only-use-10% thing wasn't bollocks then I could quite easily believe mushrooms unlocked the other 90%... I always felt like a fog had been lifted and I could think deeply and with great insight. I'd have eureka moments but once the effects had worn off, I'd always forget what those amazing revelations were.
On the down-side, I'd get 'stuck' in little mental loops going round and round thinking about the same thing.
Tried some Hawaiian woodrose seeds a few years back.. AWFUL nausea and kept feeling a really bad 'vibe' which got better if I wasn't in the living room.
