This account of an expedition to the Amazon Basin is of a search for the mythical hallucinogen of the Witoto, Oo-koo-he. In March 1971, Terence McKenna and a small gypsy-like band of friends set off for the Colombian Amazonas - the result of his theory that psilocybin is the missing link in the development of human consciousness and language. Along the way, they encounter a cast of remarkable characters. Terence McKenna is the author of "The Food of the Gods".
