Joe Rogan is best known for hosting Fear Factor. But he's actually a shock-style stand-up comic who loves to go off on hemp and psychedelics, a la Bill Hicks. He also recently attacked Carlos Mencia verbally on-stage at The Comedy Store in Los Angeles for allegedly stealing other comedians' material. The former Doobies host (2001) has this to say about psilocybin mushrooms in an interview posted at cracked.com...
"There’s a fascinating theory by Terrence McKenna. He believes that human evolution was accelerated by the consumption of psilocybyin [psychedelic] mushrooms. When the rainforest receded into grassland in Africa a million years ago, the hominids came out of the trees and started looking for other food sources. If you look at primates in Africa, they’re always flipping over cow dung to find beetle grubs, and these mushrooms grow on cow dung.
"And if you ate these mushrooms, they would do a bunch of pretty interesting things that would tend to accelerate evolution. In low doses, mushrooms actually increase visual acuity, which makes you better hunter. They also make you hornier and give you consciousness-expanding experiences. It kills the ego, and it makes you look at life from an enhanced and much more objective perspective. Those things alone, point to one of the possible reasons the human brain doubled in size over a period of two million years. Which is the biggest mystery in the entire fossil record. The doubling in size of an organ over the period of two million years."
