Philip H Farber (2011) Terence McKenna: Mushrooms, sex and society. The Fenris Wolf no. 4 ISSN: 9789197953405. Editor: Carl Abrahamsson; pp. 163-167; Interview originally published in Farber’s webzine Paradigm Shift, The Protoype Issue, 1998, and republished here for the first time in hardcopy. Introduction says the interview was conducted in the early 1990’s for Future Sex magazine, but was never run as “not quite pornographic enough.” McKenna advocates non-monogamous relationships, the “lesson from psilocybin”.
