This guy has been ruining lives and killing innocent young kids since the 60s when he invented STP. Then MDA. Then MDMA. Then 2CB. Then Methylone. Then Mephedrone. He tells everyone that drugs are fun and that anyone who experiences bad side effects is just getting a drug that's cut with something else. Bull. He created all of the designer amphetamines. Essentially anything that's used to cut these pills is just another one of his drugs or based on his drugs. What a horrible person.
@JasonSims1984 Sorry man, but Alexander Shulgin tested hundreds of his own psychedelic drugs on himself multiple times, and he is still alive today at an old age of 86 years, more than what even the healthiest American's can boast. Death of young teenagers comes in part from overdoses on these drugs, and in his book he gives clear guidelines for safe dosages. Then it also comes from the corrupt drug dealers who try to pass of certain drugs for others, which can be fatal. It's not the drug.
I think that people are starting to forget what actually goes into synthesizing psychedelic compounds, and that's the reason for the abuse/overdoses/and overall popularity in society.
Does anybody know what the fuck he is doing? i don't care what he's making, but by what process he's making it. what is it called? it looks pretty complex.
@hyperlexic2 I have thought that same exact thing. If everyone on earth was on a low dose, the world would be perfect. No war. No terrorism. No crime. :^/
@Jacob15728 i think he means actual crime, robbings, killings etc.. instead of some bullshit govenment law which states that a person cannot take a substance which has killed less people in its existence than alcohol or tobacco do in a year...
@Jacob15728 No it wouldn't..... because if you know what E does. You'll know what it does to people. Do you think people would commit crimes on it?..and do you know think cops would be dicks and arrest people? nope!
@hyperlexic2 water treatment plants actually extract MDMA from public water because its carsenigenic,but fuck yea they should leave that shit in there or add more
Is it not it interesting to hear him talk that baeocystin has a similar resemblance to that of serotonin, serotonin being a naturally occurring material in the brain. If you tweak the "frequency" (so to speak) of the signal being received by the "receiver" or shall we say "receptor", you get a different "reception" to that which is expected. Expected of course is ones normal perception of the world around him. Slightly tweaking the "signal" produces a different reception. Very interesting stuff.
@vibrancy3 sure... the movie/documentary is called Dirty Pictures... you can just google "dirty pictures shulgin" or give a look to the trailer here on youtube
@vibrancy3 No, but there should be a DVD release soon, standing to what the official site says. I think in 1-2 months, for purchasing the DVD, don't know about eventually streaming. I think the original dvd worths!

this man is making screws for a screwdriver that hasint been invented yet! lol...i actually stole that line off him when he had a interview with the late ,great,magical terrence mckenna
@JesusHChrist2000 He made Dow Chemical Company a lot of money off a drug he researched called Zectran. Then he acquired a schedule I DEA license and started synthesizing all these different Psychoactive drugs. At the time the majority weren't illegal but I don't believe he could legally consume them.
@JesusHChrist2000 from what i heard he did, until some allegations surfaced that he had been distributing some of his product, his lab got raided, they found no proof whatsoever but he lost his license anyway..
@JesusHChrist2000 When he invented, created and tasted his substances, they were all virtually unknown to man. (at least noone had ever thought, that MDMA would have any recreational value, before Shulgin)
On top of that, he had a full DEA license, enabling him to legally possess, produce and handle psychotropic drugs and substances - even those illegal at the time.
In later years, I think Shulgin was smart enough to steer clear of too large quantities of drugs - incase the DEA came.
@JesusHChrist2000 As others have mentioned, he has a Schedule I license, so he can possess illegal chemicals, but also, mere synthesis, purchase and distribution of unscheduled chemicals is legal, as is their consumption. The only (practically unenforceable) technicality is, after the 1986 Federal Analogues Act, possessing or commerce with analogues of Schedule I chemical is illegal...if not marked as 'not for human consumption'. Taking, or being on a chem post ex facto is not prohibited.
His compound differs from serotonin by 2 methyl groups. He designates their positions by O (the oxygen atom in serotonin) and α (the carbon bearing the NH2 group). No methyl groups are attached to the amino nitrogen atom. His compound would be 5-MeO-AMT (5-methoxy-α-methyltryptamine).

dumbass. i sold drugs and i know for sure they fuck up your mind. you know how many stupid ass kids ive watched turn into E-tards?? as for me ive never touched that shit
shulgin doesnt use regular drugs. He invents and re-synthesizes psychedelics. he did NOT invent mdma, but did popularize it, but he did invent 2c-b 2c-e 2c-e 2c-t-7 and many many others and tried them out at different doses on himself and his wife, Ann.
@voznow7 and I think Alexander Shulgin can go on record for the most drugs ever consumed (variety), he had access to such a wide range from all those tryptamines and phenethylamines.
Sorry, you're right, i misheard the last part of what he was saying. Incidentally, I'm fairly sure I took 5-meo-amt one time when it was being sold as something else on a little scrap of paper, as it clearly wasn't what it was supposed to be and effects matched up with descriptions of 5-meo-amt I've heard. If so, it bears a bit of a similarity to psilocin but has significant differences. You'll want to watch out for a much longer duration as well as more nausea and peripheral body effects.
Why do people still think because a consciouss is altered, the experience of consciousness is more worthwhile? I always wonder, if being high would be the 'normal' state of consciouss, would people find the experience of what for us is 'being sober' a worthile experience, because it would also give different insights? If yes, would that not mean that a altered state is not inherently worthwhile, but only relatively so because it gives different viewpoint relative to our normal state?
to the general population, reality at face value is painfully dull. so yes. but hallucinogens, i think, exaggerate reality rather than reduce it, so the psychedelics don't quite fit into that picture.
It is interesting to think that the dream state can and does indeed create meaningful and thoughtful experiences that one can work off of and one can use to them them throughout a tough situation or many questions. But unlike Sir Shulgan cookers or modern chemists whom make these hallucinogens are making them out of their kitchen, bathroom or basement. Money is the name of the game and unfortunately if you do the toxicology, you will find much more than the pure chemical.
if being high were normal, being sober would be exciting. if youve ever been fucked up for days upon days, then being sober is more fucked up that actually being fucked up. getting high is all about the change in your current reality
No one is saying a shift in consciousness is inherently more worthwhile. However, some alterations of consciousness act as a catalyst for people to take more from life, so to speak. Ppl in general are similar enough mentally and physically that a moderate or high dose of MDMA will 99% of the time promote mental clarity, empathy, understading, etc, while a shitload of alcohol will just make you stupid.
I guess what im saying is that your question is sort of broad and hypothetical. If in an alternate universe we were always "under the influence" and one day we were "sober" the viewpoint we have might not necessarily be worthwhile, depending on what "under the influence" is in that universe.
This is why i'm studying chemistry, because of geniuses like this guy. I have more respect for Alexander Shulgin and Albert Hoffman than any other people on the planet.
thats all your brain is unknown reactions and interactions and chemical reactions and electric reactions. dmt mdma lsd salvinorin-a just change it up and help you explore your mind imagination.
If society on average had half the intelligence, the ethical standards and moral code of this man we'd be diong much much better. Some day when we've matured beyond our present adolesence the work of this man will be an invaluable source of information and for scientists and his tools all of which he has tested and documented, a vast pharmacopia for the psychiatrists or psychedelic therapist of the future. He'll take his place in history as one of the bravest most instrumental men of the 20th C
He's a tool maker and his fascination is with the interaction between brain and mind. His life's work is the development of tools to better understand this relationship, of which he has made well over 200. I challenge any one who thinks little of thes man to read his books PiHKAL or TiHKAL and not think very highly of him.
this guy ruined human society with ecstasy he is a trioll that makes catshit mostly...fuck him he may be talking about good things here but he has no liscence to make his own feces even anymore
you are a joke to this world, go to google and look up how to make noose and make it and use it Good bye repulsive loser have fun sucking dead black guys off you downright lowest form of crap their is.
Dr. Shulgin's work demonstrates the fact that changing one functional group on a psychoactive molecule can completely change the subjective effects in humans. It's not (necessarily) about tripping, it's about understanding the human mind from a biochemical standpoint. If you can't respect that, I don't know what to tell you.
Probably won't happen in our lifetime.. information is dangerous because information is power, and the powers that be don't like giving up their power. :D
to have the power to be able to change a persons life for the good over night- to have the power to be able make a person be whom that person always wanted to be personality wise with the power of a pill- amazing
I hope this is Shulgin's actual legacy. Not the discovery of hallucinogens, but the inspiration to countless people to take a greater interest in the science of chemistry.
i wonder if this guy is naturally this smart or does he have some special in his system stimulating areas of mind that arent normally stimulated under normal circumstances

cool, i wonder how similar it is to psyliosin, erowid it as 5-MeO-AMT. Still unscheduled XD gotta check this out for sure.

Sorry, you're right, i misheard the last part of what he was saying. Incidentally, I'm fairly sure I took 5-meo-amt one time when it was being sold as something else on a little scrap of paper, as it clearly wasn't what it was supposed to be and effects matched up with descriptions of 5-meo-amt I've heard. If so, it bears a bit of a similarity to psilocin but has significant differences. You'll want to watch out for a much longer duration as well as more nausea and peripheral body effects.

Why do people still think because a consciouss is altered, the experience of consciousness is more worthwhile? I always wonder, if being high would be the 'normal' state of consciouss, would people find the experience of what for us is 'being sober' a worthile experience, because it would also give different insights? If yes, would that not mean that a altered state is not inherently worthwhile, but only relatively so because it gives different viewpoint relative to our normal state?

I think so.

to the general population, reality at face value is painfully dull. so yes. but hallucinogens, i think, exaggerate reality rather than reduce it, so the psychedelics don't quite fit into that picture.

It is interesting to think that the dream state can and does indeed create meaningful and thoughtful experiences that one can work off of and one can use to them them throughout a tough situation or many questions. But unlike Sir Shulgan cookers or modern chemists whom make these hallucinogens are making them out of their kitchen, bathroom or basement. Money is the name of the game and unfortunately if you do the toxicology, you will find much more than the pure chemical.

if being high were normal, being sober would be exciting. if youve ever been fucked up for days upon days, then being sober is more fucked up that actually being fucked up. getting high is all about the change in your current reality

No one is saying a shift in consciousness is inherently more worthwhile. However, some alterations of consciousness act as a catalyst for people to take more from life, so to speak. Ppl in general are similar enough mentally and physically that a moderate or high dose of MDMA will 99% of the time promote mental clarity, empathy, understading, etc, while a shitload of alcohol will just make you stupid.

I guess what im saying is that your question is sort of broad and hypothetical. If in an alternate universe we were always "under the influence" and one day we were "sober" the viewpoint we have might not necessarily be worthwhile, depending on what "under the influence" is in that universe.

If society on average had half the intelligence, the ethical standards and moral code of this man we'd be diong much much better. Some day when we've matured beyond our present adolesence the work of this man will be an invaluable source of information and for scientists and his tools all of which he has tested and documented, a vast pharmacopia for the psychiatrists or psychedelic therapist of the future. He'll take his place in history as one of the bravest most instrumental men of the 20th C

what you wrote was very true. In a sane world Dr Shulgin would be awarded a Nobel Prize.
eatshitdiecunt 2 years ago 6
He's a tool maker and his fascination is with the interaction between brain and mind. His life's work is the development of tools to better understand this relationship, of which he has made well over 200. I challenge any one who thinks little of thes man to read his books PiHKAL or TiHKAL and not think very highly of him.

He's called "Sasha" by his friends for some reason.

Sasha is informal for the name Alexander In Russia that is.
They are same, but Sasha would be used by friends, or close people. Alexander by employers and employes

Sasha is the diminutive form of Alexander in Russian. It's like a nickname.

Dr. Shulgin's work demonstrates the fact that changing one functional group on a psychoactive molecule can completely change the subjective effects in humans. It's not (necessarily) about tripping, it's about understanding the human mind from a biochemical standpoint. If you can't respect that, I don't know what to tell you.

I hope this is Shulgin's actual legacy. Not the discovery of hallucinogens, but the inspiration to countless people to take a greater interest in the science of chemistry.
