  • Explore the mind of Alexander Shulgin, the genius behind MDMA's synthesis, more commonly known as Ecstasy. This riveting documentary dives into the heart of psychedelic research, merging chemistry, neuroscience, and philosophy to question the untapped potentials of the human mind.
    2010 American Documentary: Psychedelic Science Unveiled
    The film presents an intimate look at Alexander Shulgin's pioneering work, his synthesis of over 200 psychedelic compounds, including MDMA, and his profound influence on psychoactive drug research. The narrative is enriched by contributions from Ann and Ted Shulgin, continuing the family's legacy in exploring psychedelic substances, with additional insights from experts like pharmacologist William Fantegrossi.
    Directed by Etienne Sauret, this documentary not only celebrates Shulgin's scientific achievements but also navigates the complexities of his role as a controversial figure in the realm of psychedelic studies. Nominated for the 2010 SXSW Grand Jury Award in Documentary Feature, 'Dirty Pictures' offers a rare glimpse into Shulgin's laboratory and his challenges, underscoring the documentary's deep exploration of science, society, and the quest for understanding the human psyche.
    This documentary is a must-watch for anyone fascinated by the intersection of science and consciousness, offering an unparalleled insight into the life and work of one of the most influential figures in psychedelic research.
    The controversy surrounding psychedelic scientific research hinges on a delicate balance between groundbreaking potential and societal apprehension. At the heart of this debate is the transformative power of psychedelics to alter human consciousness, offering unprecedented insights into the mind, potential therapeutic applications for mental health conditions, and a deeper understanding of our cognitive processes. However, this exploration comes with challenges, notably the stigma and legal constraints rooted in decades of prohibition and negative public perception.
    Director: Etienne Sauret
    Stars: Alexander Shulgin, Ann Shulgin, Ted Shulgin, Bob Seager, David Nichols, William Fantegrossi.

    One morning after an underground warehouse party where i would include one over packed capsule white mdma with each ticket, I offered this small group of people a ride home. We had finished cleaning and load out yet They were still there having a great time as if the music never stopped. Next thing you know I was sitting with these folks having such an amazing time, like we knew each other since birth, when A.Shulgin walked in and shook my hand and “welcome to my home, glad you could join us”. He invited me back the following night and That was the first of many times I got to visit, listen and ask so many questions and this brilliant man just seemed to get happier with each question asked. He loved his work and he loved sharing everything he has learned.

    Thank you for this. I never met Dr Shulgin, but was privileged to receive an autographed copy of PIHKAL. Much later, fate allowed me to cross paths with and work with Professor Nichols. It is refreshing to see the phony stigma surrounding these important molecules being replaced with bone fide scientific study. Sasha Shulgin was a true pioneer. And how wonderful that he had a loving partner in Ann to share in the journey.

      When I take certain psychedelics or disassociatives..I certainly hear music. Audio hallucinations..it's always the same crazy tune . It's in 1 note so it's a drone but it's very complex and beautiful..even when it becomes discordant and wonky ...I heard an LP called TIME Machines. an alias of the experimental band Coil...it's made up of drone pieces not dissimilar to sunno)))))with a different chemical compound attached to each drone piece...it's made of electronic drone pieces with phase shifts and other quite complex but subtle shifts and changes to each track attached to it's composite comound😢..it is extremely hypnotic and it actually does SLIP TIME...the mind literally goes into a hypnogogic state. I often come to as a piece ends or the LP ends. I bought the cd as well to achieve this state ..But I digress. This is the music I hear on certain psychedelic experiences .....it was recorded under the influences of the very difficult to find drugs on the record..A chemist friend supplied the molecular inspiration for the record... All rare. And they would take the drugs and work to record what the ears were hallucinating .it's a fantastic record.. I have several copies on different formats...it gets repressed occasionally...it's a trip..it says not to drive or operate machinery and I agree...it gives an mdma sickly feeling on the fancy mmddmno one.. spellings? . and i will time travel occasionally..just wink out ... Does the brain think it's had the compound?... like a psychedelic blackout. Surley the music that Is attached to the compounds the brain produces or has music attached to the drug or the experience ,we have surly a universal sound...dancing into the light as ceremony is universal as was shamanic practice so music is definitely universal and In the mind ...and manifests under trance state exercises. ...or psychedelic ones.

The thought of a population whose mind has been opened is dangerous to that power. However, just like anything in the world, bad actors can utilize certain compounds for malicious agendas. Use them for the right reasons, educate yourself so that you can educate others, test your substances with test kits, use proper doses, and be away of set and setting. Use these compounds to grow, show those who look down on you just how intelligent, kind, and open psychonauts can be. Change the mind and change the world! Love and God conquer all!

    MDMA is the most therapeutic chemical I've ever experienced. I support it's use in therapy for all emotional issues, from trauma to marriage counseling. Trust and the removal of the fear of being judged can take years to establish in therapy. MDMA sets up these parameters in a matter of hours so the healing begins far sooner. Mental health is the biggest ailment we have these days and the key is currently illegal for medicinal purposes. "Anything taken in excess is poison" holds true but medically controlled usage is extremely safe.

    Alexander Theodore "Sasha" Shulgin was an American medicinal chemist, biochemist, organic chemist, pharmacologist, psychopharmacologist, and author. He is credited with introducing MDMA, commonly known as "ecstasy," via academic journals and papers to psychologists in the late 1970s for psychopharmaceutical use and for the discovery, synthesis, and personal bioassay of over 230 psychoactive compounds for their psychedelic and entactogenic potential.

It's already all here within us. Some need influence or guidance through chemical interaction, while others do not. Spiritual living or living from the heart is the meaning of all of it. Growth and health and love and unity of all beings.
