I speak with author, podcaster, and journalist, Erik Davis about his book “High Weirdness: Drugs, Esoterica, and Visionary Experience in the Seventies. We mainly talk about Terence McKenna but we also talk about the cultural context of California in the early ’70s and how it helped to form not only the life and interests of Terence, but also Robert Anton Wilson and Philip K. Dick.
