Imagination in much love. love can do anything to help and improve our planet. Biology and chemistry left a gap in society thats when in equalists can help. 💜
Alexander "Sasha" Shulgin (June 17, 1925 – June 2, 2014) was an American chemist, biochemist, pharmacologist, and psychopharmacologist renowned for his pioneering work with psychoactive compounds. He is best known for introducing MDMA (commonly called ecstasy) to psychologists in the late 1970s for its potential in psychotherapy and for synthesizing and testing over 230 psychoactive substances, many of which he explored personally.
Born in Berkeley, California, Shulgin showed early intellectual promise, entering Harvard University at 16 on a scholarship to study organic chemistry. He left during his second year to join the U.S. Navy during World War II. After the war, he completed a Ph.D. in biochemistry at the University of California, Berkeley, in 1954. His career began with stints at Bio-Rad Laboratories and Dow Chemical, where he developed Zectran, the first biodegradable pesticide, earning him significant freedom to pursue his interests.
Shulgin’s fascination with psychedelics ignited in 1960 after experiencing mescaline, prompting him to leave Dow in 1966 and establish a home laboratory in Lafayette, California. There, he synthesized novel compounds, including the 2C family (like 2C-B) and DOx series (like DOM), testing them on himself, his wife Ann, and a small group of friends. He documented these experiences meticulously, often using his Shulgin Rating Scale to measure their effects, ranging from subtle shifts to profound, life-altering experiences.
In 1976, a student introduced him to MDMA, originally synthesized by Merck in 1912 but largely ignored. Shulgin refined its synthesis and shared it with psychologist Leo Zeff, who used it therapeutically, sparking its spread among therapists before it became a recreational drug. This unintended popularity earned him the nickname "godfather of ecstasy," though he lamented its shift from medical to party use.
With his wife Ann, whom he married in 1981, Shulgin co-authored *PiHKAL* (1991) and *TiHKAL* (1997), blending autobiography with detailed chemical recipes and subjective reports on phenethylamines and tryptamines, respectively. These books, while influential in psychedelic circles, drew scrutiny from the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). Despite a prior cooperative relationship—advising the DEA and holding a Schedule I research license—the agency raided his lab in 1994, fined him, and revoked his license after *PiHKAL*’s publication.
Shulgin’s work bridged science and counterculture, influencing both therapeutic research and underground exploration. He died of liver cancer in 2014 at 88, leaving a legacy of curiosity-driven discovery and a complex relationship with authority, celebrated by psychonauts and researchers alike.
@AdrianDittmann Umm, you know that the sink was a threat right? I received a package as well that it said it was a gaming chair so check the QR code and if matched the sick, I didn’t open it. I don’t take threats.
@elonmusk Magneto’s “mini magneto” was a girl, she liked green too.
Here’s the question, should the parents or just the children have to pay for having their finger prints or Face identification for using their credit to adjust the lives of those below them.
There’s 3 options> @WKieranJP
@his4Everz I wish that it was so simple. When I say God, I’m talking about humanity. We all have good and bad days. All of the people that are having good days are a part of God you know when it’s real love and that God loves you.
No matter how different you are.
@his4Everz You might be more important than you realized, I knew but you know me I’m always ready to remind people their power to help others.
This is about you too, release their confusion and you will know who you are. You can’t defeat evil you just help others who don’t want to be evil.
I love that so much. Being re-built in a new mental strength is the best kind of cyborg then people can imagine. Of course they quirky, they survived in their own way.
Wait… so essentially they legally decided that these adults are legal “Kidds”(as it says in my titanium hip on my card) and in Canada, where it’s legal to take weed, they got a card that also said as “kidd” and also used AI code so they could make their own rouge AIs? WOW.
@AdrianDittmann@lithos_graphein Yeah, btw I tried to grab a coin and send you some @base-@Sol for support but i guess they haven’t figured out how to support supports on X. I’ll try again when I can.
Forge is great but you have to have a relation to someone else, friend, family, rival or enemy to play with otherwise you’re just a kid alone on the sandbox. Not very healthy in my opinion.
If you do succeed then the tools and artistic skills will stay with you forever @XAI_GAMES
@TheRabbitHole Eh, steering a boat without a motor is pretty hard. 🤷♂️
If you don’t understand then I’m free to talk about.
Socialism is the sails, ore and rutter in my boat.
I just never limit myself to one thing.
Imagination is my ocean.
@his4Everz I’ve tried being normal for as long as I could we need to make our solar system stronger as we can without losing our humanity. The water barrier in the galactic calendar believes that the galaxy will be flooded some time in our solar system earth years of 2 years.
@AnimalBuzzWorld Don’t be worried about objects to much anymore, they’re not gonna feel real for much longer living beings are far more complicated to adjust in the galaxy have rules about that not all of them, not the majority of them but ours is trustable.
