  • "There are irreversible changes from an advanced degree in the university."

    Best fucking line from anyone ever!

  • @PsycoHenny haha wanted to write exactly the same

  • @Hellrun1 Nice :D

  • Drugs are bad; smoke weed <3

  • @0wnage44 I hope you're kidding.

  • @Hnnnnnggh I'd be a little dissapointed if I wasn't.

  • @0wnage44 Weed sucks, try Mandy. xD

  • Thank you for your research Dr Shulgin, you have given the world better equipment to explore the human mind than anyone ever before.

  • synthetic chemicals...? where is the vehicle... i eat mushrooms for the whole experience... not just part of it

  • He did not say other ppl did not like him..he said He was not interested in other ppl..

  • Dr. Shulgin is a true genius, an amazing man. His contributions to science are comparable to if not greater than those of Einstein. I wish he was my orgo or pharmacology professor, or better yet, my grandfather.

  • @russianboy3185 he didn't invent shit that hadn't been done before or rushed at the side of what this fool was doing, his chemica company knew he was on poison in the 50's, =so that is what was wrong with the world

  • @russianboy3185 HE NEVER INVENTED SHIT only a klan wizard would give drug recepies to the general publik- he is just as bad as the charltan hoffmann and parke davis. they should be scalped today, a native holiday can you understand he contributed nothing to science but to the science establishment which has always been the klu klux klan!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • Shulgin has synthesized over 230 psychoactive components and yet Mescaline is still at the top of them all!! Not bagging on him at all, I'm just saying. IMO MDMA doesn't even come close to a high dose of the cacti.

  • @JAKEHARRIS281 the klandy center of a cactus will always be illegal and no white man deserves peyote I could tell you what the microdot was but I wont, may it never happen again unless deserving of it

  • @ambianimaton I'm guessing you're joking. Because the Native American church doesn't have anymore merit with God than anyone else. They actually deserve some correction because they lift the cacti up as it IT IS GOD or something. They pray to the cacti as if it has ears to hear. They're sincere people but sincerely stupid.

  • @JAKEHARRIS281 it is holy because it is god of the white skum, the white devil, god of a godless people. the white devil is more than a cartoon effigy to abuse and destroy, day after day, it is real, and shulgin may in fact be its physical manifestation into this physical plane. he has never invented anything originally, but publically charltan originally. he also tries to take credit for things that are not his. he was a poison retarded trioll in the 50's, and you should be deported, fool

  • @ambianimaton Aaaah another angry youtuber. Let me get this straight. You believe the cacti is holy because it is god of the white skum the white devil god of the godless people. I'm just going to stop there. Do you think that shit is FOR REAL? That question mark is a lot bigger than it appears on the screen. Do you believe the cacti is a god like with a mind? And you think I should be deported!!?!?! And you call me a fool?!?! Yeah OK.

  • @JAKEHARRIS281 it is their god now, because mescaline and peyote contains 12 types of fortified mescaline,  thats how they can figure out for themselves what the white devil, and they also expected the blacks to be a burden on the land with what they were doing, what the white devil will do next. you=deported or die

  • @JAKEHARRIS281 any human should be killed for doing any kind of synthetic mescaline, that is why the microdot existed, because they shouldn't do peyote either and never should destroy cactuses and no im not telling you how it was made so you can go off and be a klan wizard doing unapproved klansdestine khemistry

  • @ambianimaton You said, "any human should be killed for doing any kind of synthetic mescaline." SERIOUSLY you did not just say that dumb shit. I hope that was a joke. I think the cacti should be taken WITH the alkaloids it grows with but lets not curse someone for experimenting by extracting pure mescaline. And the white or black devil aint got shit on me.

  • @JAKEHARRIS281 peyote is antimescaline by its very nature and existance. synthetic chemistry has never and will never exist as a living being. I only believe in organic chemistry and dr shulgin is a moneter that runs a horde of land raping klan devils, are you that stupid?!

  • @ambianimaton Sorry if I seem disrespectful but you confuse me. Not only me but VicariousReality as well. I don't get your first comment. What do you mean peyote is ANTIMESCALINE? How is it antimescaline if it contains mescaline? And are you against the ingestion of peyote? And can you be more specific as to what you mean by klan devils? Sorry.

  • @phuketsigel exactly. dmt is in our brains. its because these chemicals have caught the attention of the government and these substances allow us to forget money and forgive enemies.

  • @sonofscars  it is only illegal for fools to rape the land and rock it up

  • @ambianimaton

    Go see a psychiatrist. Right now.

  • i have his 2ce right now :P instantly i became aware of my problems and letting go of the hate i have towards a girl i love so much the bad shit she did to me is now gone.

  • I am looking for tools for the study of the minds..is that a rabbit.....now tools are important to understand the mind...is that a plane....animals are a vocation of the complete question of a recipe for self image...the religious aspects....is that squirrel..........having a relationship...with an ominous thing that could be a interesting aspect...omg who gives a rats ass.....

  • yer all dumb fucks

  • this man is a genius. every word should be carefully listened to.

  • He speaks like Freddy Roach.

  • He looks like George Carlin's evil twin.

  • alexander shulgin's belly of wisdom 8)

  • @ambianimaton no i get it ur schizophrenic i just read several more of ur psycho babble bullshit post. Congradulations you can put together random big words to make you look smart. But it's really not that simple, you make no fuckin sense! Sounds a lot like schizophrenia. Nice word salad there. go take ur meds now... seriously

  • @ambianimaton Kid waht are you 12? Reading that gave me a headache... you make no fucking sense.

  • Man, that interviewer is just not getting it at all.

  • it will always be illegal for other people besides the chemical establishment to make drugs because they are not kosher for anyrace, boil white powder with poison for more white powder, yeah right. plus shulgin has no working definition of poison, absolutly pure ecstasy grows brain, and shit and other parasites, why it affects belief and emotion. shulgin did not kill the brain parasites. as a chemist it is weholly irresponsible to publish anything it is not most people's business unless known

  • @ambianimaton its a reptillian! i can spot em from a galazy away, dont read this post, hes trying to taint your mind....

  • @HamBoneTea what kind of a fucktard are you kumstain?

  • jim jones, adolph hitler, david koresh, charlie manson and terence mckenna: a persuasive rap and plenty of sheep willing to swallow it on their way to the slaughterhouse.

    and add sasha shulgin to the list.

  • @ajones123ful you are either ill-informed or intentionally deceptive if you attempt to place Shulgin in the same class with those people. they were deluded individuals with massive egos who claimed to be God and were responsible for the murders of millions of people. Shulgin is a scientist and an explorer of the mind who does what he does out of love and believe everyone should have free access to his knowledge and should think for themselves. you honestly don't see a difference there???

  • @mightyafrowhitey yes shulgin is responsible for the murders of millions upon millions, after his promotion of ecstasy they should destroy the whole earth with everything on it because it had ever been taken and reproduced into the gene pool

  • @ajones123ful I would agree with all of that apart from shulgin, he just enjoys making and taking mind altering chemicals and reporting his findings. He isn't a cult leader like the rest of your list, he is just an interesting guy.

  • He's beating around the bush when asked why he researches designer-drugs. He's probably researching mind control.

  • @SonicArmament yeah poison is mind control. mdma, a neurotoxic poison, destroys capacity to ever take lsd again, the fragile molecule that when it breaks apart causes death. shulgin probably can access some place in chemistry where he can drain something and have it charged with everyone's soul he took and can do lines of it

  • @ambianimaton there's no such thing as a soul! According to Shulgin, the chemicals in our heads ARE our existance and thus emotions are a chemical bath to the brain... and if you can control emotion.. well, idk about that one =)

  • Imagine the MDMA high this guy could put you on.

    :-)

  • @SPFXsynthesisers FIRE!!!! :D

  • @xjkgx :)

  • did anyone else get a boner from watching this?

  • Owsley said himself not exact words but same contextual thought, "comparing acid to ecstasy is like comparing honey to ant poison and people he knew personally had degraded in self awareness to a point he did not think possible. ecstasy is not a psychedelic. it is a poison amphetamine analog" Owsley made meth before he made acid and still knew better. --- ecstasy pure mdma is cyanide technology and related to formaldehyde, cyanide, butane, soda pop bubbles, insecticide, gasoline, meth,

  • @ambianimaton you obviously have no understanding what so ever of basic chemistry because if you did you would know that mdma is in no way shape or form related to cyanide, formaldehyde, or butane, you're obviously an idiot, yes mdma is not even comparable to lsd, mdma and most entactogens are extremely neurotoxic, where as psychedelics like lsd, dmt, mescaline have very little toxicity, but you still lose because you don't have the slightest idea of what you're talking about

  • @drufan I dont agree with the you statement of MDMA being neurotoxic. Alex shows no signs of neurological damage and i bet hes done a fair amount of phenethylamine's over the years.

  • @drufan yeah mdma is what you would clean your toilet with in a perfect world, and thats what the people who make it in europe do with it, if anything...and humans beings aren't toilet bacteria, no but all it is good for is embalming kheads before you touch them to kill them

  • @ambianimaton It is stupid to label certain drugs as "evil" and others as "miracle drugs". Drugs are drugs and they all have different effects, some good and some bad. I've done acid, shrooms, and MDMA, which might be bad for you but it's still an amazing high. And hello if it wasn't for "poisons" like gasoline, neither LSD or this video would exist.

  • @alex21124 yeah coke's an amazing high too, an idiot could say but like mdma it is a decietful and destroying poison

  • fu grow up, this man had no basic, even childish definition of poison and made undefined compendums of sketch observation for his own ends and mdma in its pure nonterrorist form is something promoted that could be made from a carcinogenic amphetamine toolkit. the guy is a terrorist. this is not drugs, I love psychedelics.

  • @ambianimaton You know he also created lots of psychedelics, and he worked for the DEA, he knows shit that most people will never know about, i'm sorry but ill believe someone who's worked for the DEA then someone who just believes bullshit propaganda.

    "so go fukurself

  • @louisgil20 the dea basically pretends to be against hard drugs but I dont see them tapping every coke dealer and junkie's phone and violently taking them down, pollution should be illegal. same thing with Neurotoxin mdma that Owsley very much hated RIP. while courting kooks like shulgin, the dea loses even more credibility. it will always be illegal for other people to make acid and dmt and pcp and amphetamine and everything like it because these fools like shulgin have heads up their asses.

  • @ambianimaton when it comes to engineering I dont even agree with anything the chemical establishment currently does. if they allowed people to have souls, aka higher spiritual awareness and mental capacity many diseases would disappear, its all so pointless I hope this shithead instantly dies and goes directly to hell

  • @louisgil20 the dea is a front for the kkk, and your insidious lies and deception to promote the troll waster of gebneration upon generation will not stand, death to infidels!

  • @ambianimaton You win. The kkk is all knowing truth. KKK all day, you defeated the troll.

  • @ambianimaton You'll probably die by 40 sober. He's still alive and fine at 86, and he experienced more life has to offer.

    "so go fukurself"

  • @louisgil20 Get your facts straight! Sasha has never "worked" for the DEA. For many years he was the only individual permitted to manufacture any scheduled substances until his friend retired from the DEA resulting in his manufacturing exploits being withdrawn. Worked for UC Berkeley, yes. DEA, hell no.

  • @4herstory "Through his friend Bob Sager, head of the U.S. DEA's Western Laboratories, Shulgin formed a relationship with the DEA and began holding pharmacology seminars for the agents, supplying the DEA with samples of various compounds, and occasionally serving as an expert witness in court. He also authored a definitive law enforcement reference book[8] on controlled substances[6] and received several awards from the DEA."

  • @louisgil20 How does working for the DEA equate to intelligence? I'm not doubting Sasha's intelligence, but the DEA is full of incompetent simpletons.

  • it's so weird that i can see myself in what he said about his childhood. in my years of 7-13 or so. honey suckle in berkeley was my too first plant i ingested on my own, it's really weird, as i sat with myself between the shadow of my school and the sunlight. Maybe it's ADHD and a good imagination, but i'd just think of crazy ass worlds. so i ask myself, is everyone's childhood conciessness this trippy? i'd be interested in any input on personal experiences about childhood conciesness.

  • iz it normal for you not to be able to get ur wood up on it?

  • he is a bullshit conartist-tooled around with marginal crap and outright poison like formaldehyde meth:pure mdma, like no one had been stupid enough to do p/tihkal, it was nothing that is any sense if we were to have very simple definitions of poison, even 1800's chemical reality of science=much better morals when it came to respecting nature, and this includes unliscenced /clansdestine chemistry he is troll and gridded up obvious poison, drained the word troll out of his poison gland in neon

  • What i love about shulgin is his different reasoning for studying these chemicals. i especially love how he emphasizes the difference between the brain and the mind. He's not like timothy leary who was just looking to get high, shulgin is using these chemicals as tools for understanding how the mind works

  • publishing the guinea pig stuff promotes psychiatry and whatever agenda the person making the supposed observation is trying to pass off. maybe he would have been allowed to do real work if he wasn't a dirty/poison troll in the first place, sure he sold books, but did he come to any conclusions about this work, or is it all just hodgepodge piecemeal catshit?! it is all very sketchy and contrived, and looks a lone cog,spring,+wheel ina human shadow being behind the curtain of the wizard of Oz

  • I encourage all who know how important and beneficial psychedelic drugs are and especially those who have directly benefited from "proper" and appropriate use of these various compounds to look into becoming members of the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies, or MAPS. Any donation of any size will be used to advance current research and to open the doors for future research so that one day society may tap into this rich yet widely untapped resource of healing and enlightenment

  • @smile2drum how about leap or law enforcement against prohibition, prohibition is the barrier, research does not need to be done whatsoever and it is more important to have acid and dmt than anything , gold, real estate, heroin, if you want a toy make "golden real estate heroin", it still wouldn't be as important as acid and dmt, make this supermolecule into bite size chocolates, and have a manta ray suck you off while paragliding, and then you will know justice when the chocolate rains,downy?

  • A wonderful man with an open mind and opened eyes.

  • I tried 2cb and it was the most enlightening experience I have ever had. Thank you Dr. Shulgin!

  • @hatfield505 doc has been my most enlightening !

  • he's developed so many chemical drugs and tried them and yet he's still alive and healthy! Chemicals aren't that bad after all

  • King

  • I love the shorts of the interviewer ^^

  • It's a tough call but, if I had to wager, I'd say this guy is smarter than Justin Bieber.

  • I love the way he talks "..And that caught my fancy" :)

  • 0:29

    HI Ann :D

  • alexander the great!

  • Dam, I really want some 2ct now. Playing with my Yucca plants while watching Robocop on it was such a great experience.

  • @ambianimaton go outside troll.

  • @ambianimaton Your ignorance astounds me! Please elaborate as to what factual backings you have to the extremely negative information that you have noted. Poison? You could possibly be speaking of the Haight St. STP epidemic although aside from him being the creator of the chemical he was not the one who passed the recipe on and did not manufacture them at all................

  • @ambianimaton Never discovered shit? Wow no comment on that one, 70's drug technology sucks balls in comparison of a present days tweaker lab! And to wish anyone's death makes me question how you even stumbled upon this video in the first place. I really hope your joking or that you somehow have knowledge I don't, that you would wish to share regarding your statements. In 5 years, that's like the third time I've ever commented on You Tube! Thanks Sasha, Long may you live and HIGH you may you fly

  • @ambianimaton having a bad trip are we? Maybe you should stick to alcohol and maybe you'll die before Shulgin, at least we hope.

  • @ambianimaton Your comment makes no sense. The poor grammar and punctuation within the senseless comments on a subject of which you have little to no understanding and have not researched makes me feel sad for you. Was that a bad and tasteless joke? Alas, I fear it was exemplary of the ignorance that hinders this science. I sincerely hope you can think and feel better. Ironically, this science could help were it not for the ignorance, fear, and propaganda keeping science & society backward.

  • @smile2drum ooh internet troll, I see we meet again. your aimless and groundless verbally contrived derision is laughable, please include at least one fact or commentary and I will try to respond in a human language you could perhaps understand?! this man ruined this science and countless generations with poison troll drugs. it is no secret mdma ruins biology until the organism's race dies out a form of genocide. passing off cocaine illusions as psychedelics -hobgoblin he never invented squat

  • @ambianimaton you're the one who's doin the trollin

  • @ambianimaton You, sir, are an idiot.

    

  • @PinoyCrackerBoyz please explain why you have lept to this conclusion.

  • @DrMMHMD More BS! Joe Rogin has better take! Medical Neo-Fuedalism #2? I'm the guy who took Shulgin's "apple", extracted his "10 essential aromatic alkaloids"; published how to do it; dragged the price down from 32$ to 2$ & reinstated Markonikov's exclusion principle for 2nd carbons on phenolic rings! So don't pull typo-crap on us: see Bushman "we don't use ENGLISH (or ANY language) while we do research"!

  • I'm pretty sure that he merely played a role in popularizing MDMA, he did not invent it.

  • @Dudethatstrippin Yea a german company had a Paton on it but never did anything and he dug up the recipe and made some adjustments and dosage etc

  • @Dudethatstrippin Alex Shulgin did NOT invent or discover MDMA. MDMA was first synthesised in 1912 by a german pharma company called Merck but they found no use for it, so they discarded it. This guy rediscovered the formula in the 1970s, synthesised it himself, tested it, found beneficial properties like empathy, opening up, etc and some friends who were therapists saw a possible use for it in therapy. It's use just spread from there, really.

    I want to try MDMA but it's so hard to find.

  • @LemonZeppelin its only good for cleaning the toilet

  • 6:14 what a bully hahaha

  • He is not the father of MDMA, MDMA was created by the MERCK Corporation by Anton Köllisch!!! And some say Fritz Haber created it as the first one, but that can't be proven. Please change that description of the video, so people don't fall for that. beside that great upload!

  • @EnergyOM he came up with a better synthesising method and he popularised the drug, good enough to call him the father IMO.

  • @leakeg then i would call him the father of the new synthesis and the promoter of MDMA, but not the father.

  • @EnergyOM you think James Brown invented soul? You think Michael Jackson invented pop? You think Elvis Presley invented rock n roll? Hell no to all those question. But they're all known as the Godfather/Prince/King.

  • @leakeg You think that Shulgin invented MDMA? You think your thoughts are your thoughts? You think you think? You think Hannibal Lecter invented McDonalds? You think fresh is rotten? You think light is dark? You think Techno is the child of folklore? You think your feet are your hands? You think your nose is a flying elephant? You think you getting confused? You think you know?

  • @EnergyOM cretin.

  • @leakeg Junkie

  • @EnergyOM you're a towel.

  • @leakeg hahahaa, what an argument you guys are having :P

  • This is an amazing video. Not necessarily for the drug aspect. Solely to see into Shulgin's mind.

  • MOLOCULES Alex! Not "Drugs", not "Substances" - MOLOCULES! Natural Hallucigens are better, in my opinion, probably because they have multiple active Alkaloids, some in stacked release formations. Discipline? Better yet - the Golden Balls once obtained can be focused and retained, a safe pathway to them having been found.

  • Great guy. Couldn't help notice the gardener with the invisible spade at 6.30 though.

  • I like the way the magician talks ^^

  • one of the last few great men our time knows.

  • 3 people have a shit drug dealer

  • @p1xelz help me find a good one... i had pure mdma powder and i want to get more sooo bad

  • 3 people will never discover the beauty of the universe of the individual

  • You don't have to know much to be a professional questioner.

  • The prophet! Greeting from Mother Russia!

  • prick

  • A great man, 85 yrs old almost at his end :(

    everything he saw and thought "had been brought about by a fraction of a gram of a white solid, but that in no way whatsoever could it be argued that these memories had been contained within the white solid. I understood that our entire universe is contained in the mind and the spirit. We may choose not to find access to it, we may even deny its existence, but it is indeed there inside us, and there are chemicals that can catalyze its availability."

  • @moosey333 a very hinduistic thought/experience. my atman is brahmin if you will.

  • your looking 4 god..

  • LOL! 6:30 it looks like the guy in the background is pulling out DR. S's hair loL!

  • brilliant

  • What a nice guy!

  • He's the "Ron Paul of drugs." ;)

  • this guy is the living budha

  • this guy is the living budha

  • This guy is my Grandpa. :)

    Not really. But, that would be awesome.

  • this man could possibly be the most intelligent neurochemist alive today

  • So beautifully coherent...

  • This man is so ahead of his time it baffles me. The intimate relationship he shares with everything in this world is something to be made an example of and shared. He will attribute all breakthroughs and discoveries he has made to his use of psychedelics yet the stigma that they are bad will always remain. My thoughts and prayers go out to you SaSha. Pull through buddy!

  • 3 people had such severe eye wiggle that they missed the like button.

  • Mindlift, guys i dont think its fair to sell this dvd, people who are interested in these thing should be able to view it publicly, wouldnt it be nice now you have had 2 years to sell it to upload the other parts of the interview for the poorer intelectual community ? just a thought..... Shulgin = legend...

  • Dr. Shulgin, I know u will probably never read this, but from me and all the ravers out there, THANK YOU. your "tools" really are the greatest thing for embellishing music and bringing people together, i have enjoyed exploiting them for many years, and I have tried so many of them, most recently MCAT.

    YOU DESERVE A NOBEL PRIZE and DOW chemicals and the DEA were wrong to raid your lab and call PiKHAL and TiKHAL "cookbooks" to make illegal drugs.

    YOU ARE THE FATHER OF THE RAVE

  • god bless you shulgin.

  • 9:05 = amazing

    This man is pretty hip.

  • check out the latest interview with Alexander Shulgin by VBS.TV

  • ohhh man at the end of the video, he just smacked the shit out of the status quo. Great man. 

  • I wish Shulgin was my grandfather. I would visit him every day.

  • @donniedarkodevotte You don't already visit your grandfather every day? Shame on you

    lolol

  • @metatronatra

    Both of my grandfathers have been dead for nearly 10 years now.

  • @metatronatra my condolences 

  • @donniedarkodevotte i would trip with him and take some chemms lol yep

  • I want me some MDMA now

  • seriously, how can we nominate him? How does a nobel peace prize work?

  • @TheDirtdemon6 to win a nobel prize you either need to scare people about global warming or be for the war in afghanistan

  • @alistairproductions Or just have to be Obama and do absolutely nothing worth a prize.

  • @DbaBro1 ya, when i said being for the war in afghanistan i meant obama, war president winning  the peace prize. it's doublethink

  • ...been exploring the magical half dozen

  • this is so inspiring i wish he was around so i could give him a big HUG!!

  • @nemouk Generally cannabis smoke is a lot safer than tobacco smoke. People who smoke cannabis smoke a lot less than people who smoke tobacco. A lot of cannabinoids also have cytoprotective properties (aka tumor preventing). 9-delta tetrahydrocannbinol and cannabidiol are both neuroprotective antioxidants that protect cells from oxidative damage.

  • @nemouk Er depends on how you smoke it. It probably causes some lung damage from heavy use.

  • @nemouk Agreed... Never smoke marijuana while driving. People need to understand that marijuana is neither terrible nor harmless. It can cause caffeine-like psychological dependence and makes driving difficult sometimes... But it is absolutely not terribly harmful, and unless you use every day for hours, adverse effects are unlikely.

  • i pooed on the toilet seat

  • The government would rather have u hooked on something thats going to kill u very slowly over time. That way they can tax u for ur entire working life. And, with a bit of luck when you've paid tax on alcohol and cigarettes all ur working life with a bit of luck u might just die of a heart attack before ur 65. They don't want the alternative of the more u take the less effective it is. Nor do they want people learning from psychedelic experiences. We know where their priorities lie, don't we?

  • @hendrixman1515 Exactly. You have to be very careful and know what you are doing, otherwise the results could kill.

  • @cyanide444 right. this guys trying to say u have to be more careful with marijuana.

  • @hendrixman1515 Nah, marijuana's fine. It can't kill you via overdose or anything. You just gotta make sure it doesn't take over your life. It's kind of like masturbating. Prove the narco pigs wrong and act SMART while being a pothead :)

  • @quadeyquade No. There was a 5-10% loss of serotonin reported by the German study. That's not much. Not enough for worry. But all my friends who take a pill of E report being depressed after 6-8 hours, which indicates ACUTE short term serotonin loss. The way MDMA WORKS causes short term non-severe depression. It's an agonist of several serotonin receptors, causing a flood of serotonin. Best way to avoid after-Ecstasy crashes is to eat lots of cheese and meat.

  • @cyanide444 Long term MDMA related depression is not from the immediate serotonin depletion, but is due to long term down regulation of serotonin receptors in various regions of the brain that only occurs when abnormally high levels of serotonin are frequently experienced. The brains reduction in serotonin receptors is to protect itself from the intoxicating effects of the drugs and is referred to as drug tolerance, the same downregulation will occur with any serotonergic drug (LSD, mushies etc)

  • @Rapportus5 I do know that happens with dopamine receptors and methamphetamine... But in that case most antidepressants that work by preventing serotonin reuptake would be quite dangerous in quite a few people. I'm pretty sure that long term use is quite bad for serotonin receptors.... But the government presses that a single use of MDMA could cause Parkinson's (blatantly false). Most hallucinogens need large doses and impossible overuse to cause reduction in receptors...

  • @Rapportus5 If you have less number of serotonin receptors after a few uses, then depression would be an unavoidable symptom of MDMA use. Most studies show otherwise. Acute depression from "serotonin shock" is expected. Dopamine receptors are probably far more sensitive to this effect than serotonin.

  • @cyanide444 or take 5htp.

  • @quadeyquade ur the one repeating propaganda. if marijuana has never killed then how can you rightyfully call it deadly
