Tbh it's been a while since I read much past the first few sections.

That said, he was MKULTRA'd real hard. I wouldn't be too surprised if some Terrence McKenna-type weirdness snuck in there.

He wasn't drugged though....the professor had him "discuss/debate" with another "student" who was really a young prosecutor from Boston with the sole objective arguing fiercely against any perspective Ted presented, to fuck with his perception meter. But no gallons of acid for him.

Poor Unibomber didn't get any acid :(

Yeah you're probably thinking of McKenna. He was real into talking about the elves he met on DMT.

I prefer his "jeweled self-dribbling basketballs" to "elves".
