	Drug Policy Alliance: An Audio Web Chat With Dr. Sasha Shulgin and Ann Shulgin
		Ann Shulgin is a therapist who conducted psychedelic therapy before 1985, when MDMA was effectively made illegal when it was reclassified as a Schedule I drug.
		Ann is a researcher and spokesperson for the beneficial use of psychedelics, including MDMA, in a therapeutic setting.

	MAPS: Corrected Version : Sasha Shulgin invented 2C-T-7.
		Shulgin has dedicated his life to the idea that psychedelics can be used to explore the potential of the human mind, and of all the many drugs he has sampled, 2C-T-7 was one of his personal favorites.
		Shulgin wrote a handbook on the Controlled Substances Act that became a standard desk reference for DEA employees, and he later would serve as an expert witness for both the prosecution and defense in DEA drug trials.
		Ann, who had tried peyote and been extremely moved by the experience, was eager to trip again and pelted the chemist with questions about his work.

		Shulgin was given authorization by the DEA to synthesize and test the effects of psychoactive drugs.

	Interview with Alexander and Ann Shulgin
		Ann: The drug has a physical effect if nothing else, and how my own individual chemistry and metabolism uses that drug might be quite different than the way somebody else does it.
		Ann: I worked for two years as a co-therapist with a highly trained hypnotherapist before MDMA was made illegal but psychotherapy with any kind of psychoactive drug was still not generally accepted in the medical community.
		Ann: The whole idea of using psychedelics is to train yourself to a different kind of perception which you should be able to use without drugs.

	Guardian Unlimited \| Special reports \| Interview: Alexander Shulgin, creator of MDMA
		Shulgin built the shed himself, working up from the brick foundations of what was once the cellar of his parents' house on Shulgin Road half an hour outside San Francisco.
		Shulgin expresses frustration and disgust at the way ecstasy has been used and abused, both by dealers and the scientific community.
		There is an air of romance about the Shulgins: they bumble around in their hillside home, the shock-haired maverick scientist and his muse, making discoveries, testing them, and then very probably settling down to a nice cup of cocoa before bed.

		And in 1976, Shulgin fished an obscure chemical called MDMA out of the depths of the chemical literature and introduced it to the wider world, where it came to be known as Ecstasy.
		Shulgin was fined $25,000 for violations of the terms of his Schedule I license (donations from friends and admirers ended up covering the whole amount) and was asked to turn the license in.
		Shulgin's lab is in the concrete-block foundation of what used to be a small cabin, set into a ridge a few dozen yards from his house along a narrow brick path.

		Shulgin was stationed on a destroyer escort in the North Atlantic during World War II, and he remembers being shocked by all the death he saw around him.
		Shulgin spent the next few years tinkering with the molecular structure of mescaline, inventing DOM and a few other compounds that, through the actions of others, ended up in the Haight-Ashbury and, soon after, in the Controlled Substances Act of 1970.
		Shulgin created a new synthesis for MDMA on September 12, 1976, according to his journal, and he told Wired he was tipped off to its possible effects by an undergrad in a medicinal chemistry group he advised at San Francisco State University.

		Across the lawn from Zimmer, for example, is Ann Shulgin, kind of the Mother Goddess of e-therapy and wife of research chemist Alexander Shulgin, the "Godfather of MDMA," who is generally given credit for rediscovering the drug in 1965.
		Shulgin was given leave to fiddle with over 200 psychedelics that he synthesized himself; he and his wife were their own guinea pigs.
		Ann Shulgin sits on the grass with her white witchy locks splayed about her, smoking a cigarette and courting an audience of adoring young fans.

	Professor X
		Through chromatography, Shulgin determined that P. pringlei probably was a mild psychedelic, but "the establishment of its human pharmacology requires that it be consumed by man." So Shulgin dissolved the extract of the cactus into fruit juice, then poured a 4-ounce cup for each person.
		Shulgin's experiment with P. pringlei is part of his most ambitious project yet -- to classify the psychoactive compounds that occur naturally in cacti.
		Shulgin is more at ease when the conference breaks for dinner, riffing on palindromes (his favorite is Soros), his views on drug laws (to prove a point, he pulls out a wallet-sized copy of the Constitution), and the asparagus ("Everyone check their urine later and let me know if it smells").

	Talking with Ann and Sasha Shulgin on the Existence of God and the Pleasures of Sex and Drugs
		So, Ann, when you were away for a moment, Sasha related a comment that he said you might not want to be quoted on -- "nothing can ruin an intimate moment like an erection," or something like that.
		Ann: In general, and politically, there's this whole emphasis that MDMA is a "club drug." And club drugs are commonly thought of as something that you can pop into somebody's drink and they become amnesiac, they lose control, and they can get raped, and whatever.
		Ann: On the other hand, if you consider the famous temple in India, which is full of every conceivable sex position that anyone could take, that is a temple illustrating -- as I understand it -- one of the ways to attain the God-head.

	Sasha Shulgin, Psychedelic Chemist
		Shulgin left the company in 1965, built his lab and became, as he puts it, a "scientific consultant." That meant teaching public health at Berkeley and San Francisco General Hospital, among other jobs.
		Ann, became Shulgin's soul mate, a fellow psychedelic explorer with a penchant for Peyote.
		To understand the Shulgins is to understand their unwavering belief that these drugs have untold powers and that we, as a society, are ignorant of these powers--like early man who shied away from fire.

		Ann describes their relationship in the context of many hallucinogenic experiences, providing the reader a verbal rendering of a variety of drug trips.

		The stunned Shulgins were informed that this was not a criminal action, but rather an "administrative investigation" to determine if Sasha was in regulatory compliance with the many stipulations of his DEA license that allows him to be in possession of, and to work with, Schedule I substances.
		While the replenishment of the Shulgins "lost" retirement funds is the obvious purpose of this project, I would like all to know that the letters and notes that are coming in are probably doing more for Sasha and Ann's well being than anything else; and that's just a personal opinion.
		Ann is home busily penning personal thank you notes to the fund's many contributors, and quickly finishing Thikal before anything else "just too interesting to leave out" happens in their lives.

		The first 2/3 of the book tells the story of the evolution of Sasha and Ann's relationship, all the while filling us in as to who these people are, what they believe, and how they came to believe it.

		But the NYT magazine has such an air of telling yuppies what it is trendy to think about these days, and I worry that people learning about psychadelics this way are going to miss the history and context, the fact that there are already strong subcultures of people using these drugs toward amazing ends.

	MAPS - Listening for the Logos - a study of reports of audible voices at high doses of psilocybin
		A common denominator in the biochemical research with psychedelics in general, and with tryptamines in particular (psilocybin/psilocin), is that, somehow, the neurotransmitter serotonin is specially involved in the psychedelic experience.
		As already stated, serotonergic neurotransmitters and receptors are strongly involved in the psychoactive effects of many of the psychedelics, including, for example, the phenethylamines; yet reports of voices are absent in one major work on phenethylamine compounds (Alexander Shulgin & Ann Shulgin, 1992).
		It is also not enough to say that the auditory effects of tryptamines are the result of their having a unique structure in comparison with other psychedelics: for example, it can be pointed out that LSD and other of the ergolines "can [also] be viewed as rigid tetracyclic tryptamines" (Nichols, 1986, p.
