Dennis McKenna (@DennisMcKenna4) has spent more than 40 years researching the interdisciplinary study of Amazonian ethnopharmacology and plant hallucinogens. He has conducted extensive ethnobotanical fieldwork in the Peruvian, Colombian, and Brazilian Amazon.
His doctoral research at the University of British Columbia focused on the ethnopharmacology of ayahuasca and oo-koo-he, two tryptamine-based hallucinogens used by indigenous peoples in the Northwest Amazon.
He is a founding board member of the Heffter Research Institute and was a key organizer and participant in the Hoasca Project, the first biomedical investigation of ayahuasca used by the UDV, a Brazilian religious group. He is the younger brother of Terence McKenna.
From 2000 to 2017, he taught courses on ethnopharmacology as well as Plants in Human Affairs at the Center for Spirituality and Healing at the University of Minnesota. In 2019, in collaboration with colleagues, he incorporated a nonprofit, the McKenna Academy of Natural Philosophy. Currently, the Academy has several projects underway, with the most immediate being preparations for an upcoming conference in the UK May 23rd-26th, ESPD55 (espd55.com/), which will cover a wide range of topics related to psycho-ethnopharmacology and feature an exclusive, pre-release screening of the McKenna Academy’s first short documentary, BioGnosis, Bridges to Ancestral Wisdom.
Dennis emigrated to Canada in the spring of 2019 with his wife Sheila and now resides in Abbotsford, British Columbia.

wow thanks Tim! For all you have done.
I love the Tim and Dennis duo :)
Great clip! Anyone know what the picture is behind Tim?
Where do I get that DNA art piece behind McKenna. I need it..
Found it, called spinning helix.
@Tim what is the beautiful art you have in your background?
I don’t see why an infant not ready to label something changes the shape of 3d to 2d. wouldn’t it still be the same but just not knowing what it is called. Infants use other senses to navigate through infancy until their cones are development and then they can connect visuals with meaning of their own definition. Woman smells like mommy and feeds me and loves me = mom. It’s assigned a value in a way…like code. But woman smells like mommy and hurts me= mommy= any woman hurts me. I also believe the symbols go into our subconscious and have a whole other language we are unaware of until something like lsd brings it out.
Ur comment blew my mind. So right.
