I should have looked in Ott to start. He's easily the best foot-noted and indexed researcher out there. He says "I have adopted the use of Ernst Junger's fine term psychonaut (Junger 1970)" and in typical Ott fashion goes on with even more info: "(although the term had been coined in German two decades earlier, an American researcher mistakenly claimed authorship of the neologism; Siegel 1989)" A look at the bibliography reveals: Junger, 1970, Annaherungen: Drogen und Rausch and Siegel, R.K. 1989, Intoxication: Life in Pursuit of Artificial Paradise
I guess Thurman wasn't the first to make this mistake. Good word, I think.
