About

Golden Teacher McKennaii is a potent and visionary variant of Psilocybe cubensis, inspired by the legendary ethnobotanist and psychonaut Terence McKenna. This strain combines the philosophical clarity and spiritual balance of Golden Teacher with increased intensity, vivid visuals, and deep cognitive exploration, making it ideal for those seeking transformative inner journeys and high-level consciousness expansion.

History

The McKennaii strain was developed as a tribute to Terence McKenna’s legacy and teachings about the entheogenic potential of psilocybin mushrooms. Although not directly sourced from his work, it is known for producing powerful, introspective trips. When combined or aligned with Golden Teacher genetics, the McKennai variant delivers a focused, immersive psychedelic experience that often evokes themes of time, identity, and multidimensional awareness.

This strain is highly respected by seasoned users looking for philosophical depth and visionary insights.
