Michael Hollingshead · The Terence McKenna Experience

Michael Hollingshead

Michael Hollingshead was an early figure in the history of LSD research. Apparently he lived in Cochabamba, Bolivia for many years and according to his daughter he died there, of a stomach ulcer, in 1984. I lived in Cochabamba for many years too, but nobody ever mentioned Hollingshead to me until I got back to London in 2023 and met a niece of his who is an artist and lives somewhere in the South East of England. There was a book published by MIT Press in 2019 about him, "Divine Rascal" https://mitpress.mit.edu/9781907222788/divine-rascal/ does Terence McKenna mention him at all?
