DIRTY PICTURES is a documentary about Dr. Alexander "Sasha" Shulgin, the rogue chemist who discovered the effects of MDMA (aka Ecstasy) and over 200 other mind-altering drugs. Shulgin's alchemy has earned him the title "The Godfather of Psychedelics," and a reputation as one of the great chemists of the 20th century.
{Alexander "Sasha" Theodore Shulgin (June 17, 1925 -- June 2, 2014) was an American medicinal chemist, biochemist, pharmacologist, psychopharmacologist, and author. He was the scientist behind more than 200 psychedelic compounds including MDMA, more commonly known as Esctasy. Considered to be one of the the greatest chemists of the twentieth century, Sasha's vast array of discoveries have had a profound impact in the field of psychedelic research. By employing unorthodox methods; testing his creations on himself, working from a makeshift lab in his home, Shulgin has gained the reputation of a modern day alchemist within the scientific community}
Terence Kemp McKenna (November 16, 1946 -- April 3, 2000) was an Irish-American[1] philosopher, psychonaut, researcher, raconteur, speaker and writer on many subjects; such as human consciousness, psychedelic drugs, the evolution of civilizations, the origin and the end of the universe, cybernetics, alchemy, and extraterrestrial beings.
_____________________________________________________________
Alexander "Sasha" Theodore Shulgin[2] (born June 17, 1925 - died June 2 -2014) is an American pharmacologist, chemist, artist, and drug developer.
Shulgin is credited with the popularization of MDMA ("ecstasy") and its introduction to psychologists in the late 1970s for psychopharmaceutical use. In subsequent years, Shulgin discovered, synthesized, and bioassayed over 230 psychoactive compounds. In 1991 and 1997, he and his wife Ann Shulgin authored the books PiHKAL and TiHKAL on the topic of psychoactive drugs. Shulgin discovered many noteworthy phenethylamines including the 2C* family of which 2C-T-2, 2C-T-7, 2C-E, 2C-I, and 2C-B are most well known. Additionally, Shulgin performed seminal work into the descriptive synthesis of compounds based on the organic compound tryptamine.

Interviews with the leading experts in psychedelics and ethnobotany in Palenque Mexico by Luc Sala (www.lucsala.nl)

There is an entire of "family" of compounds that ARE NOT ADDICTIVE and have been used for tens of 10,000's of years. They do not promote war, they only show the Universe for the amazing and loving place it is and could be when shown and taught correctly about them. I am not saying that psychedelic are the answer, but certain ones can help teach that we are so much more. Most of the answers that we do seek are left on the wall of the greatest encyclopedia's of the world. The temples in Egypt.

Alexander "Sasha" Shulgin, Ph.D., is a pharmacologist and chemist known for his creation of new psychoactive chemicals. After serving in the Navy, he earned his Ph.D. in Biochemistry from U.C. Berkeley in 1954. In the late 50s and early 60s he did post-doctorate work in psychiatry and pharmacology at U.C. San Francisco and worked briefly as research director at BioRad Laboratories before becoming a senior research chemist at Dow Chemical Co.
In 1960, Sasha tried mescaline for the first time. He then experimented with synthesizing chemicals with structures similar to mescaline such as DOM. After leaving Dow in 1965 to become an independent consultant, Sasha taught public health at Berkeley and San Francisco General Hospital. In 1967, he was introduced to the possibilities of MDMA by an undergrad at San Francisco State University at a time when very few people had tried MDMA. Though Shulgin didn't invent the chemical, he did create a new synthesis process in 1976 and introduced the material to Leo Zeff, an Oakland psychologist who worked with psychedelics in his therapy practice. Zeff introduced hundreds of therapists to MDMA and word quickly spread outside the therapist community. Sasha's partner Ann Shulgin also conducted psychedelic therapy sessions with MDMA before it was scheduled in 1985.
Since that time, Shulgin has synthesized and bioassayed (self-tested) hundreds of psychoactive chemicals, recording his work in four books and more than two hundred papers. He is a fixure in the psychedelic community, speaking at conferences, granting frequent interviews, and instilling a sense of rational scientific thought into the world of self-experimentation and psychoactive ingestion.

In this speech Shulgin explains 'Why I do what I Do.'
4:30 "First, I am a very firm believer in the reality of balance in all aspects of the human theater."
5:21 "One definition of the tools I seek is that they may allow words of a vocabulary, a vocabulary that might allow each human being to more consciously — and more clearly — communicate with the interior of his own mind and psyche. This may be called a vocabulary of awareness."
12:08 [After a discussion of nuclear weapons.] "And to have such power leads to the threat to use such power, which -- in time -- will actually lead to its use. But, as I have said earlier, when one thing develops, there seems to spring forth a balancing, a compensatory counterpart. This balance can be realized with the psychedelic drugs. What had been simply tools for the study of psychosis (at best), or for escapist self-gratification (at worst), suddenly assumed the character of tools of enlightenment, and of some form of transcendental communication."
13:45 "But I feel — along with many others — that the efforts being invested in the technology of destruction does not allow sufficient time. It is possibly only with the psychedelic drugs that words of vocabulary can be established, which might tunnel through the subconscious between the conflicting aspects of the mind and psyche. It is here that I feel my skill lies, and this is exactly why I do what I do."
26:03 "My personal philosophy might well be lifted directly from Blake: 'I must create a system, or be enslaved by another man's.' I may be wrong, but I must do what I'm doing, and I will do what I can as fast as I can."

Shulgin was born in Berkeley, California to Theodore Stevens Shulgin (1893–1978) and Henrietta D. Shulgin (1888–1960). Theodore was born in Orenburg, Russia, which is just north of Kazakhstan, and immigrated to the United States in 1923, while Henrietta was born in Illinois. Both Theodore and Henrietta were public school teachers in Alameda County.

Terence Kemp McKenna (November 16, 1946 – April 3, 2000) was an American philosopher, psychonaut, researcher, teacher, lecturer and writer on many subjects, such as human consciousness, language, psychedelic drugs, the evolution of civilizations, the origin and end of the universe, alchemy, and extraterrestrial beings.
Terence McKenna grew up in Paonia, Colorado. He was introduced to geology through his uncle and developed a hobby of solitary fossil hunting in the arroyos near his home. From this he developed a deep artistic and scientific appreciation of nature.
At age 16, McKenna moved to Los Altos, California to live with family friends for a year. He finished high school in Lancaster, CA. In 1963, McKenna was introduced to the literary world of psychedelics through The Doors of Perception and Heaven and Hell by Aldous Huxley and certain issues of The Village Voice that talked about psychedelics.
McKenna claimed that one of his early psychedelic experiences with morning glory seeds showed him "that there was something there worth pursuing." In an audio interview Terence Mckenna claims to have started smoking cannabis regularly during the summer following his 17th birthday.

7:32Sasha Shulgin - DMT, Psilocybin & DiPT
Sasha Shulgin - DMT, Psilocybin & DiPTSasha Shulgin - DMT, Psilocybin & DiPT
El hecho es que tenemos 2 neurotransmisores aquí arriba en este cerebro funcional. Uno de ellos es Serotonina, la cual es una Triptamina (5-HT) y las otras son norepinefrina y dopamina que son Fenetilaminas. Y resultó que, mientras me dedique a investigar más y más compuestos relacionados con estos neurotransmisores, haciéndolos, probando su integridad estructural y pureza, así como descubriendo su actividad, ¡las familias eran Fenetilaminas y Triptaminas! Pertenecen al mismo mundo que los neurotransmisores, qué pequeñas coincidencias. También descubrí que sustancias como DMT (la cual es uno de los psicodélicos más interesantes) es un material natural en el cuerpo. Está en el Sistema Nervioso Central. Así que técnicamente, si las autoridades fueran más coherentes, todos deberíamos ser arrestados por ser transportadores de una drogas ilegal de primera clasificación. Aunque creo que el gobierno usaría aun otras defensas. Otra de las cosas interesantes que he notado acerca de esto, es que con DMT (una vez tomada la experiencia) con la mayoría de los psicodélicos en su uso repetitivo, uno se va volviendo inmune y se va generando tolerancia, pero con DMT para nada. Así que yo creo que la DMT está en el cerebro, en la médula espinal y en el sistema neurológico para jugar un papel. Y como es utilizado naturalmente de manera normal, el cuerpo no se va volviendo tolerante con su uso, sino que mantiene su actividad por completo. ¿Qué es lo que hace la 5-MeO-DMT como componente natural dentro de nosotros? Me pregunto si muchos de los neurotransmisores, tomados bajo ciertas circunstancias, serían psicodélicos. ¿Acaso tenemos psicodélicos dentro de nosotros para algo? Terence McKenna tomó una bella dirección en cuanto a esto, argumentando que tal vez la familia Psilocybe (los hongos psilocibios) fueron usados por hombres muy primitivos para incrementar su potencia visual y decir: Oh, por ahí hay comida mientras que las demás personas que no tenían esta calidad visual, no poseían esta utilidad de supervivencia de saber desde donde proviene el alimento. Y yo le mencione acerca de un estudio que fue realizado en Ohio hace muchos años, por una estupenda persona que realizo muchos experimentos en humanos con Psilocybin y Psilocin y que desarrollo una especie de proyector en el cual se eclipsaba el 20% de la parte baja de un texto. Así pues, tenías un texto escrito en el cual solo se veía bien el 80% o 70%, y él iba eclipsando cada vez más la parte baja hasta el punto en el que una persona no puede ver lo que está leyendo porque no puede leer bien las letras de las palabras. Y analizó quienes no veían el 28% o 32% y bajo la influencia de Psilocybin, y fueron mucho más capaces de leer lo que no se podía leer! Y con una gran nivel de efectividad. Y mientras la droga iba bajando, perdían la habilidad de leer lo que estaba eclipsado. Así que el argumento de Terence de que se pueden ver cosas que no son normalmente visibles, sería válida. Aunque por otro lado, si vieras algo de gran belleza al ver tu reflejo en los dientes de un tigre de sable, tal vez dejaría de ser parte de la alberca de genes, tal vez tenga sus contras ser activo a psicodélicos endógenos. Pero yo creo que están ahí en una buena cantidad y hemos aprendido a vivir con ellos. -

Ann and Sasha Shulgin in Conversation about Mescaline and MDMAAnn and Sasha Shulgin in Conversation about Mescaline and MDMA
In loving memory of Sasha Shulgin, wonderful friend and early scientific advisor to the Beckley Foundation. ---------------- Sasha and Ann are two of my most beloved friends and while the loss of Sasha is heartrending, his gift to humanity has been immense, and will endure, not only as the wonderful philosopher-king that he was, but also for his deep revolutionary explorations of the relationship between chemistry and consciousness. He was one of the great givers to humanity, and his legacy lives on as a unique friend and master alchemist, who, like Albert Hofmann, has contributed vastly to human happiness and to our understanding of the fuller potential of the human mind. I cherish the wonderful times we have spent together -- camping together at Burning Man, visiting the Shulgin farm with its Aladdin's cave of alchemy, and when, for his 80th birthday, he came and stayed at Beckley Park, from where we travelled to visit ancient stones and many beautiful places. While at Beckley we filmed this conversation with Sasha and Ann, which, by strange coincidence we had finally got around to editing when we heard the sad news of his death. How much we will all miss his wonderful company: his jokes and his sincerity, his warmth, humility and generosity. We have lost a magnificent friend, an exceptional biochemist and a pioneering explorer of the deepest realms of human consciousness. We have also lost an inspiring model of an extremely happy and productive partnership - the godparents of the psychedelic world - all my love goes out to Ann at this sad time. Amanda Feilding

Alexander Shulgin the creator of MDMA Ecstasy HD
http://hippyhai.com DIRTY PICTURES is a documentary about Dr. Alexander "Sasha" Shulgin, the rogue chemist who discovered the effects of MDMA (aka Ecstasy) and over 200 other mind-altering drugs. Shulgin's alchemy has earned him the title "The Godfather of Psychedelics," and a reputation as one of the great chemists of the 20th century. {Alexander "Sasha" Theodore Shulgin (June 17, 1925 -- June 2, 2014) was an American medicinal chemist, biochemist, pharmacologist, psychopharmacologist, and author. He was the scientist behind more than 200 psychedelic compounds including MDMA, more commonly known as Esctasy. Considered to be one of the the greatest chemists of the twentieth century, Sasha's vast array of discoveries have had a profound impact in the field of psychedelic research. By employing unorthodox methods; testing his creations on himself, working from a makeshift lab in his home, Shulgin has gained the reputation of a modern day alchemist within the scientific community} -
Alexander Shulgin: why I discover psychedelic substances
Shulgin is the father of Extacy (MDMA) but also a lovely wise gentleman scientis with high morals and ethics. He believes in understanding the mind and how it works and how brain, chemistry and mind are related. Luc Sala interviews Alexander Shulgin, Mexico 1996 -
A Conversation with Terence Mckenna and Alexander (Sasha) Shulgin 1993
Terence Kemp McKenna (November 16, 1946 -- April 3, 2000) was an Irish-American[1] philosopher, psychonaut, researcher, raconteur, speaker and writer on many subjects; such as human consciousness, psychedelic drugs, the evolution of civilizations, the origin and the end of the universe, cybernetics, alchemy, and extraterrestrial beings. _____________________________________________________________ Alexander "Sasha" Theodore Shulgin[2] (born June 17, 1925 - died June 2 -2014) is an American pharmacologist, chemist, artist, and drug developer. Shulgin is credited with the popularization of MDMA ("ecstasy") and its introduction to psychologists in the late 1970s for psychopharmaceutical use. In subsequent years, Shulgin discovered, synthesized, and bioassayed over 230 psychoactive compounds. In 1991 and 1997, he and his wife Ann Shulgin authored the books PiHKAL and TiHKAL on the topic of psychoactive drugs. Shulgin discovered many noteworthy phenethylamines including the 2C* family of which 2C-T-2, 2C-T-7, 2C-E, 2C-I, and 2C-B are most well known. Additionally, Shulgin performed seminal work into the descriptive synthesis of compounds based on the organic compound tryptamine. -

Alexander Shulgin / My Thoughts / Psilocybin Mushroom, Its Time To Wake Up Humans!
There is an entire of "family" of compounds that ARE NOT ADDICTIVE and have been used for tens of 10,000's of years. They do not promote war, they only show the Universe for the amazing and loving place it is and could be when shown and taught correctly about them. I am not saying that psychedelic are the answer, but certain ones can help teach that we are so much more. Most of the answers that we do seek are left on the wall of the greatest encyclopedia's of the world. The temples in Egypt. -
[1/7] Photosynthesis - Alexander Shulgin - Varieties of psychedelic experience
PLEASE HELP! Sasha and Ann Need Your Support! Note, Sasha had a stroke on Wednesday, November 17, 2010. You can visit his Caring Bridge Page for updates and to post well-wishes. Alexander "Sasha" Shulgin, Ph.D., is a pharmacologist and chemist known for his creation of new psychoactive chemicals. After serving in the Navy, he earned his Ph.D. in Biochemistry from U.C. Berkeley in 1954. In the late 50s and early 60s he did post-doctorate work in psychiatry and pharmacology at U.C. San Francisco and worked briefly as research director at BioRad Laboratories before becoming a senior research chemist at Dow Chemical Co. In 1960, Sasha tried mescaline for the first time. He then experimented with synthesizing chemicals with structures similar to mescaline such as DOM. After leaving Dow in 1965 to become an independent consultant, Sasha taught public health at Berkeley and San Francisco General Hospital. In 1967, he was introduced to the possibilities of MDMA by an undergrad at San Francisco State University at a time when very few people had tried MDMA. Though Shulgin didn't invent the chemical, he did create a new synthesis process in 1976 and introduced the material to Leo Zeff, an Oakland psychologist who worked with psychedelics in his therapy practice. Zeff introduced hundreds of therapists to MDMA and word quickly spread outside the therapist community. Sasha's partner Ann Shulgin also conducted psychedelic therapy sessions with MDMA before it was scheduled in 1985. Since that time, Shulgin has synthesized and bioassayed (self-tested) hundreds of psychoactive chemicals, recording his work in four books and more than two hundred papers. He is a fixure in the psychedelic community, speaking at conferences, granting frequent interviews, and instilling a sense of rational scientific thought into the world of self-experimentation and psychoactive ingestion.

Alexander "Sasha" Shulgin - 'Why I Do What I Do' Speech
In this speech Shulgin explains 'Why I do what I Do.' 4:30 "First, I am a very firm believer in the reality of balance in all aspects of the human theater." 5:21 "One definition of the tools I seek is that they may allow words of a vocabulary, a vocabulary that might allow each human being to more consciously — and more clearly — communicate with the interior of his own mind and psyche. This may be called a vocabulary of awareness." 12:08 [After a discussion of nuclear weapons.] "And to have such power leads to the threat to use such power, which -- in time -- will actually lead to its use. But, as I have said earlier, when one thing develops, there seems to spring forth a balancing, a compensatory counterpart. This balance can be realized with the psychedelic drugs. What had been simply tools for the study of psychosis (at best), or for escapist self-gratification (at worst), suddenly assumed the character of tools of enlightenment, and of some form of transcendental communication." 13:45 "But I feel — along with many others — that the efforts being invested in the technology of destruction does not allow sufficient time. It is possibly only with the psychedelic drugs that words of vocabulary can be established, which might tunnel through the subconscious between the conflicting aspects of the mind and psyche. It is here that I feel my skill lies, and this is exactly why I do what I do." 26:03 "My personal philosophy might well be lifted directly from Blake: 'I must create a system, or be enslaved by another man's.' I may be wrong, but I must do what I'm doing, and I will do what I can as fast as I can." Why I Do What I Do (31 October 1996) http://www.drugtext.org/DPF-The-Pioneers-of-Reform-1996/why-i-do-what-i-do.html -
Sasha Shulgin - DMT, Psilocybin & DiPT
El hecho es que tenemos 2 neurotransmisores aquí arriba en este cerebro funcional. Uno de ellos es Serotonina, la cual es una Triptamina (5-HT) y las otras son norepinefrina y dopamina que son Fenetilaminas. Y resultó que, mientras me dedique a investigar más y más compuestos relacionados con estos neurotransmisores, haciéndolos, probando su integridad estructural y pureza, así como descubriendo su actividad, ¡las familias eran Fenetilaminas y Triptaminas! Pertenecen al mismo mundo que los neurotransmisores, qué pequeñas coincidencias. También descubrí que sustancias como DMT (la cual es uno de los psicodélicos más interesantes) es un material natural en el cuerpo. Está en el Sistema Nervioso Central. Así que técnicamente, si las autoridades fueran más coherentes, todos deberíamos ser arrestados por ser transportadores de una drogas ilegal de primera clasificación. Aunque creo que el gobierno usaría aun otras defensas. Otra de las cosas interesantes que he notado acerca de esto, es que con DMT (una vez tomada la experiencia) con la mayoría de los psicodélicos en su uso repetitivo, uno se va volviendo inmune y se va generando tolerancia, pero con DMT para nada. Así que yo creo que la DMT está en el cerebro, en la médula espinal y en el sistema neurológico para jugar un papel. Y como es utilizado naturalmente de manera normal, el cuerpo no se va volviendo tolerante con su uso, sino que mantiene su actividad por completo. ¿Qué es lo que hace la 5-MeO-DMT como componente natural dentro de nosotros? Me pregunto si muchos de los neurotransmisores, tomados bajo ciertas circunstancias, serían psicodélicos. ¿Acaso tenemos psicodélicos dentro de nosotros para algo? Terence McKenna tomó una bella dirección en cuanto a esto, argumentando que tal vez la familia Psilocybe (los hongos psilocibios) fueron usados por hombres muy primitivos para incrementar su potencia visual y decir: Oh, por ahí hay comida mientras que las demás personas que no tenían esta calidad visual, no poseían esta utilidad de supervivencia de saber desde donde proviene el alimento. Y yo le mencione acerca de un estudio que fue realizado en Ohio hace muchos años, por una estupenda persona que realizo muchos experimentos en humanos con Psilocybin y Psilocin y que desarrollo una especie de proyector en el cual se eclipsaba el 20% de la parte baja de un texto. Así pues, tenías un texto escrito en el cual solo se veía bien el 80% o 70%, y él iba eclipsando cada vez más la parte baja hasta el punto en el que una persona no puede ver lo que está leyendo porque no puede leer bien las letras de las palabras. Y analizó quienes no veían el 28% o 32% y bajo la influencia de Psilocybin, y fueron mucho más capaces de leer lo que no se podía leer! Y con una gran nivel de efectividad. Y mientras la droga iba bajando, perdían la habilidad de leer lo que estaba eclipsado. Así que el argumento de Terence de que se pueden ver cosas que no son normalmente visibles, sería válida. Aunque por otro lado, si vieras algo de gran belleza al ver tu reflejo en los dientes de un tigre de sable, tal vez dejaría de ser parte de la alberca de genes, tal vez tenga sus contras ser activo a psicodélicos endógenos. Pero yo creo que están ahí en una buena cantidad y hemos aprendido a vivir con ellos. -

Getting High On HIV Medication (Full Documentary)
Check out the Best of VICE here: http://bit.ly/VICE-Best-Of In 1998, the antiretroviral drug efavirenz was approved for treatment of HIV infection. Though the drug was highly effective, patients soon began to report bizarre dreams, hallucinations, and feelings of unreality. When South African tabloids started to run stories of efavirenz-motivated rapes and robberies, scientists began to seriously study how efavirenz might produce these unexpected hallucinogenic effects. Hamilton Morris travels to South Africa to interview efavirenz users and dealers and study how the life-saving medicine became part of a dangerous cocktail called "nyaope."

Alexander "Sasha" Theodore Shulgin[2] (born June 17, 1925 - died June 2 -2014) is an American pharmacologist, chemist, artist, and drug developer.
Shulgin is credited with the popularization of MDMA ("ecstasy") and its introduction to psychologists in the late 1970s for psychopharmaceutical use. In subsequent years, Shulgin discovered, synthesized, and bioassayed over 230 psychoactive compounds. In 1991 and 1997, he and his wife Ann Shulgin authored the books PiHKAL and TiHKAL on the topic of psychoactive drugs. Shulgin discovered many noteworthy phenethylamines including the 2C* family of which 2C-T-2, 2C-T-7, 2C-E, 2C-I, and 2C-B are most well known. Additionally, Shulgin performed seminal work into the descriptive synthesis of compounds based on the organic compound tryptamine.

There is an entire of "family" of compounds that ARE NOT ADDICTIVE and have been used for tens of 10,000's of years. They do not promote war, they only show the Universe for the amazing and loving place it is and could be when shown and taught correctly about them. I am not saying that psychedelic are the answer, but certain ones can help teach that we are so much more. Most of the answers that we do seek are left on the wall of the greatest encyclopedia's of the world. The temples in Egypt.

Alexander "Sasha" Shulgin, Ph.D., is a pharmacologist and chemist known for his creation of new psychoactive chemicals. After serving in the Navy, he earned his Ph.D. in Biochemistry from U.C. Berkeley in 1954. In the late 50s and early 60s he did post-doctorate work in psychiatry and pharmacology at U.C. San Francisco and worked briefly as research director at BioRad Laboratories before becoming a senior research chemist at Dow Chemical Co.
In 1960, Sasha tried mescaline for the first time. He then experimented with synthesizing chemicals with structures similar to mescaline such as DOM. After leaving Dow in 1965 to become an independent consultant, Sasha taught public health at Berkeley and San Francisco General Hospital. In 1967, he was introduced to the possibilities of MDMA by an undergrad at San Francisco State University at a time when very few people had tried MDMA. Though Shulgin didn't invent the chemical, he did create a new synthesis process in 1976 and introduced the material to Leo Zeff, an Oakland psychologist who worked with psychedelics in his therapy practice. Zeff introduced hundreds of therapists to MDMA and word quickly spread outside the therapist community. Sasha's partner Ann Shulgin also conducted psychedelic therapy sessions with MDMA before it was scheduled in 1985.
Since that time, Shulgin has synthesized and bioassayed (self-tested) hundreds of psychoactive chemicals, recording his work in four books and more than two hundred papers. He is a fixure in the psychedelic community, speaking at conferences, granting frequent interviews, and instilling a sense of rational scientific thought into the world of self-experimentation and psychoactive ingestion.

In this speech Shulgin explains 'Why I do what I Do.'
4:30 "First, I am a very firm believer in the reality of balance in all aspects of the human theater."
5:21 "One definition of the tools I seek is that they may allow words of a vocabulary, a vocabulary that might allow each human being to more consciously — and more clearly — communicate with the interior of his own mind and psyche. This may be called a vocabulary of awareness."
12:08 [After a discussion of nuclear weapons.] "And to have such power leads to the threat to use such power, which -- in time -- will actually lead to its use. But, as I have said earlier, when one thing develops, there seems to spring forth a balancing, a compensatory counterpart. This balance can be realized with the psychedelic drugs. What had been simply tools for the study of psychosis (at best), or for escapist self-gratification (at worst), suddenly assumed the character of tools of enlightenment, and of some form of transcendental communication."
13:45 "But I feel — along with many others — that the efforts being invested in the technology of destruction does not allow sufficient time. It is possibly only with the psychedelic drugs that words of vocabulary can be established, which might tunnel through the subconscious between the conflicting aspects of the mind and psyche. It is here that I feel my skill lies, and this is exactly why I do what I do."
26:03 "My personal philosophy might well be lifted directly from Blake: 'I must create a system, or be enslaved by another man's.' I may be wrong, but I must do what I'm doing, and I will do what I can as fast as I can."

El hecho es que tenemos 2 neurotransmisores aquí arriba en este cerebro funcional. Uno de ellos es Serotonina, la cual es una Triptamina (5-HT) y las otras son norepinefrina y dopamina que son Fenetilaminas. Y resultó que, mientras me dedique a investigar más y más compuestos relacionados con estos neurotransmisores, haciéndolos, probando su integridad estructural y pureza, así como descubriendo su actividad, ¡las familias eran Fenetilaminas y Triptaminas! Pertenecen al mismo mundo que los neurotransmisores, qué pequeñas coincidencias. También descubrí que sustancias como DMT (la cual es uno de los psicodélicos más interesantes) es un material natural en el cuerpo. Está en el Sistema Nervioso Central. Así que técnicamente, si las autoridades fueran más coherentes, todos deberíamos ser arrestados por ser transportadores de una drogas ilegal de primera clasificación. Aunque creo que el gobierno usaría aun otras defensas.
Otra de las cosas interesantes que he notado acerca de esto, es que con DMT (una vez tomada la experiencia) con la mayoría de los psicodélicos en su uso repetitivo, uno se va volviendo inmune y se va generando tolerancia, pero con DMT para nada. Así que yo creo que la DMT está en el cerebro, en la médula espinal y en el sistema neurológico para jugar un papel. Y como es utilizado naturalmente de manera normal, el cuerpo no se va volviendo tolerante con su uso, sino que mantiene su actividad por completo. ¿Qué es lo que hace la 5-MeO-DMT como componente natural dentro de nosotros?
Me pregunto si muchos de los neurotransmisores, tomados bajo ciertas circunstancias, serían psicodélicos. ¿Acaso tenemos psicodélicos dentro de nosotros para algo? Terence McKenna tomó una bella dirección en cuanto a esto, argumentando que tal vez la familia Psilocybe (los hongos psilocibios) fueron usados por hombres muy primitivos para incrementar su potencia visual y decir: Oh, por ahí hay comida mientras que las demás personas que no tenían esta calidad visual, no poseían esta utilidad de supervivencia de saber desde donde proviene el alimento. Y yo le mencione acerca de un estudio que fue realizado en Ohio hace muchos años, por una estupenda persona que realizo muchos experimentos en humanos con Psilocybin y Psilocin y que desarrollo una especie de proyector en el cual se eclipsaba el 20% de la parte baja de un texto. Así pues, tenías un texto escrito en el cual solo se veía bien el 80% o 70%, y él iba eclipsando cada vez más la parte baja hasta el punto en el que una persona no puede ver lo que está leyendo porque no puede leer bien las letras de las palabras. Y analizó quienes no veían el 28% o 32% y bajo la influencia de Psilocybin, y fueron mucho más capaces de leer lo que no se podía leer! Y con una gran nivel de efectividad. Y mientras la droga iba bajando, perdían la habilidad de leer lo que estaba eclipsado.
Así que el argumento de Terence de que se pueden ver cosas que no son normalmente visibles, sería válida. Aunque por otro lado, si vieras algo de gran belleza al ver tu reflejo en los dientes de un tigre de sable, tal vez dejaría de ser parte de la alberca de genes, tal vez tenga sus contras ser activo a psicodélicos endógenos. Pero yo creo que están ahí en una buena cantidad y hemos aprendido a vivir con ellos.

Y yo le mencione acerca de un estudio que fue realizado en Ohio hace muchos años, por una estupenda persona que realizo muchos experimentos en humanos con Psilocybin y Psilocin y que desarrollo una especie de proyector en el cual se eclipsaba el 20% de la parte baja de un texto. Así pues, tenías un texto escrito en el cual solo se veía bien el 80% o 70%, y él iba eclipsando cada vez más la parte baja hasta el punto en el que una persona no puede ver lo que está leyendo porque no puede leer bien las letras de las palabras. Y analizó quienes no veían el 28% o 32% y bajo la influencia de Psilocybin, y fueron mucho más capaces de leer lo que no se podía leer! Y con una gran nivel de efectividad. Y mientras la droga iba bajando, perdían la habilidad de leer lo que estaba eclipsado.
Así que el argumento de Terence de que se pueden ver cosas que no son normalmente visibles, sería válida. Aunque por otro lado, si vieras algo de gran belleza al ver tu reflejo en los dientes de un tigre de sable, tal vez dejaría de ser parte de la alberca de genes, tal vez tenga sus contras ser activo a psicodélicos endógenos. Pero yo creo que están ahí en una buena cantidad y hemos aprendido a vivir con ellos.

In loving memory of Sasha Shulgin, wonderful friend and early scientific advisor to the Beckley Foundation.
----------------
Sasha and Ann are two of my most beloved friends and while the loss of Sasha is heartrending, his gift to humanity has been immense, and will endure, not only as the wonderful philosopher-king that he was, but also for his deep revolutionary explorations of the relationship between chemistry and consciousness.
He was one of the great givers to humanity, and his legacy lives on as a unique friend and master alchemist, who, like Albert Hofmann, has contributed vastly to human happiness and to our understanding of the fuller potential of the human mind.
I cherish the wonderful times we have spent together -- camping together at Burning Man, visiting the Shulgin farm with its Aladdin's cave of alchemy, and when, for his 80th birthday, he came and stayed at Beckley Park, from where we travelled to visit ancient stones and many beautiful places.
While at Beckley we filmed this conversation with Sasha and Ann, which, by strange coincidence we had finally got around to editing when we heard the sad news of his death.
How much we will all miss his wonderful company: his jokes and his sincerity, his warmth, humility and generosity. We have lost a magnificent friend, an exceptional biochemist and a pioneering explorer of the deepest realms of human consciousness.
We have also lost an inspiring model of an extremely happy and productive partnership - the godparents of the psychedelic world - all my love goes out to Ann at this sad time.

In 1998, the antiretroviral drug efavirenz was approved for treatment of HIV infection. Though the drug was highly effective, patients soon began to report bizarre dreams, hallucinations, and feelings of unreality. When South African tabloids started to run stories of efavirenz-motivated rapes and robberies, scientists began to seriously study how efavirenz might produce these unexpected hallucinogenic effects.
Hamilton Morris travels to South Africa to interview efavirenz users and dealers and study how the life-saving medicine became part of a dangerous cocktail called "nyaope."

Ann and Sasha Shulgin: Ask the Shulgins
shortened english only version, deleted german translation Ann and Sasha will answer everything you wanted to know about psychoactive substances. Alexander "Sasha" T. Shulgin, is a pharmacologist and chemist known for his creation of new psychoactive chemicals. In 1967, he was introduced to the possibilities of MDMA by an undergrad at San Francisco State University at a time when very few people had tried MDMA. Though Shulgin did not invent the chemical, he did create a new synthesis process in 1976. Since that time, Shulgin has synthesized and bioassayed (self-tested) hundreds of psychoactive chemicals, recording his work in four books and in more than two hundred papers. He is a figure in the psychedelic community, speaking at conferences, granting frequent interviews, and instilling a sense of rational scientific thought into the world of self-experimentation and psychoactive ingestion Sasha's partner, Ann Shulgin also conducted psychedelic therapy sessions with MDMA before it was scheduled in 1985.

Learn more about the film: http://www.mdmathemovie.com We were privileged to be able to interview Ann and Sasha Shulgin just five weeks before Sasha passed away. Sasha's health had been failing for a while and Ann did the majority of speaking. Sasha had his eyes closed for much of the interview, but he understood everything that was said, often smiling and nodding in agreement when Ann mentioned certain things. It was a moving and inspirational experience for the entire film crew. -

PLEASE HELP! Sasha and Ann Need Your Support! Note, Sasha had a stroke on Wednesday, November 17, 2010. You can visit his Caring Bridge Page for updates and to post well-wishes. Alexander "Sasha" Shulgin, Ph.D., is a pharmacologist and chemist known for his creation of new psychoactive chemicals. After serving in the Navy, he earned his Ph.D. in Biochemistry from U.C. Berkeley in 1954. In the late 50s and early 60s he did post-doctorate work in psychiatry and pharmacology at U.C. San Francisco and worked briefly as research director at BioRad Laboratories before becoming a senior research chemist at Dow Chemical Co. In 1960, Sasha tried mescaline for the first time. He then experimented with synthesizing chemicals with structures similar to mescaline such as DOM. After leaving Dow in 1965 to become an independent consultant, Sasha taught public health at Berkeley and San Francisco General Hospital. In 1967, he was introduced to the possibilities of MDMA by an undergrad at San Francisco State University at a time when very few people had tried MDMA. Though Shulgin didn't invent the chemical, he did create a new synthesis process in 1976 and introduced the material to Leo Zeff, an Oakland psychologist who worked with psychedelics in his therapy practice. Zeff introduced hundreds of therapists to MDMA and word quickly spread outside the therapist community. Sasha's partner Ann Shulgin also conducted psychedelic therapy sessions with MDMA before it was scheduled in 1985. Since that time, Shulgin has synthesized and bioassayed (self-tested) hundreds of psychoactive chemicals, recording his work in four books and more than two hundred papers. He is a fixure in the psychedelic community, speaking at conferences, granting frequent interviews, and instilling a sense of rational scientific thought into the world of self-experimentation and psychoactive ingestion.

Interview with Sasha
Here I play with an audio sample taken from an interview of Dr Alexander Shulgin, where he discusses 2,5-Dimethoxy-4-methylamphetamine. -
Getting High with a Hallucinogenic Toad Prophet
Our Vice Mexico team went to the Sonora desert in search of the Bufo Alvarius, an endemic toad species that contains a very high dosage of 5-MEO-DMT in it´s body. 5-MEO-DMT is said to be the most potent hallucinogenic in the world. Our guide through this trip was Octavio Rettig, a doctor who has studied this toad for more than eight year and has brought the medicine - as he calls the substance - all over the world. We went to Punta Chueca, Sonora, where we hanged out with the indigenous community who has been taking 5-MEO-DMT from the toad since pre-hispanic times. We met Grandpa Pancho - one of the elders of the town - and travelled with him to the sacred island of Isla Tiburón. There we had a small ceremony where we tried the substance for the very first time.

Ann and Sasha will answer everything you wanted to know about psychoactive substances. Alexander "Sasha" T. Shulgin, is a pharmacologist and chemist known for his creation of new psychoactive chemicals. In 1967, he was introduced to the possibilities of MDMA by an undergrad at San Francisco State University at a time when very few people had tried MDMA. Though Shulgin did not invent the chemical, he did create a new synthesis process in 1976. Since that time, Shulgin has synthesized and bioassayed (self-tested) hundreds of psychoactive chemicals, recording his work in four books and in more than two hundred papers. He is a figure in the psychedelic community, speaking at conferences, granting frequent interviews, and instilling a sense of rational scientific thought into the world of self-experimentation and psychoactive ingestion Sasha's partner, Ann Shulgin also conducted psychedelic therapy sessions with MDMA before it was scheduled in 1985.

We were privileged to be able to interview Ann and Sasha Shulgin just five weeks before Sasha passed away. Sasha's health had been failing for a while and Ann did the majority of speaking. Sasha had his eyes closed for much of the interview, but he understood everything that was said, often smiling and nodding in agreement when Ann mentioned certain things. It was a moving and inspirational experience for the entire film crew.

Alexander "Sasha" Shulgin, Ph.D., is a pharmacologist and chemist known for his creation of new psychoactive chemicals. After serving in the Navy, he earned his Ph.D. in Biochemistry from U.C. Berkeley in 1954. In the late 50s and early 60s he did post-doctorate work in psychiatry and pharmacology at U.C. San Francisco and worked briefly as research director at BioRad Laboratories before becoming a senior research chemist at Dow Chemical Co.
In 1960, Sasha tried mescaline for the first time. He then experimented with synthesizing chemicals with structures similar to mescaline such as DOM. After leaving Dow in 1965 to become an independent consultant, Sasha taught public health at Berkeley and San Francisco General Hospital. In 1967, he was introduced to the possibilities of MDMA by an undergrad at San Francisco State University at a time when very few people had tried MDMA. Though Shulgin didn't invent the chemical, he did create a new synthesis process in 1976 and introduced the material to Leo Zeff, an Oakland psychologist who worked with psychedelics in his therapy practice. Zeff introduced hundreds of therapists to MDMA and word quickly spread outside the therapist community. Sasha's partner Ann Shulgin also conducted psychedelic therapy sessions with MDMA before it was scheduled in 1985.
Since that time, Shulgin has synthesized and bioassayed (self-tested) hundreds of psychoactive chemicals, recording his work in four books and more than two hundred papers. He is a fixure in the psychedelic community, speaking at conferences, granting frequent interviews, and instilling a sense of rational scientific thought into the world of self-experimentation and psychoactive ingestion.

Our Vice Mexico team went to the Sonora desert in search of the Bufo Alvarius, an endemic toad species that contains a very high dosage of 5-MEO-DMT in it´s body. 5-MEO-DMT is said to be the most potent hallucinogenic in the world.
Our guide through this trip was Octavio Rettig, a doctor who has studied this toad for more than eight year and has brought the medicine - as he calls the substance - all over the world.
We went to Punta Chueca, Sonora, where we hanged out with the indigenous community who has been taking 5-MEO-DMT from the toad since pre-hispanic times. We met Grandpa Pancho - one of the elders of the town - and travelled with him to the sacred island of Isla Tiburón. There we had a small ceremony where we tried the substance for the very first time.
