Terence was raised in a government family, but was expelled from the University of California, Berkley due to his psychedelic drug use. He moved on to become an Ethnomycologist and Ethnobiologist, and a writer. Terence’s first wife was Kathleen Harrison, and she is the mother of both Dennis and his twin brother, Theodor “Ted” McKenna. Kathleen was a novelist and journalist, and also wrote a book on her experience as the wife of a psychedelic researcher entitled, “This Timeless Moment”. Terence and Kathleen later divorced and Terence married his current wife, artist and educator, Kathleen Harrison.

Expert Opinion on Marijuana Legalization
McKenna has been a long-time advocate for the legalization of marijuana and its use as a medicine. He has also called for a more open-minded examination of the drug and its potential uses, both in modern medicine and as a plant-based food. He is highly critical of the prohibition of marijuana, and has been an outspoken advocate for the drug’s legalization since the middle of the 20th century.
