Totally agree @buckfushes - this truly is a wonderful video.

Any chance of getting an HD version of this?

Also, do you have any other videos of Shulgin (besides the Shulgin Tribute)?

@krazyphrick

We shot this video before we - or anybody else we know - had an HD camera, in 2006. There are no other Shulgin videos but lots more footage to create videos out of - all we need is the time (money) to sit & edit.

Same here, I went back to school to try and get my PhD in Chemistry, all because he said that is he best way to get started in his field. I want to study DMT

[buckfushes]

The very best videos on youtube rarely have more than a few thousand views.

Its amazing and discouraging.

Oh well

The only hippie I'll ever like. Only because he used to work with my grandma at DOW

[MrCordezzz]

Wonderful people..

@bry: you needed to get a phd in chemistry to study DMT? Methanol and tryptamine. It's a condensation reaction, am I wrong?

[primaledge]

Such a great guy.

God Bless Sasha and Ann Shulgin! They are Good People! :D

I wish he would discover a molecule that reversed ageing. Then I wouldn't have to worry that one day he won't be around. I never grow tired of hearing Shulgin talk. I'd like to sit and have tea and biscuits with him.
