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.
@@petertousignant6566 you can dance to the ambient sounds around you on mdma ...I've stopped taking it in protest of the main method for making it.....the precursor is a 1 step compound mda I believe...it's saff oil..they are systematically deforesting the Cambodian rain forest..they just cut the trees into logs and boil them in massive boilers to harvest the oil... So the next tree hugger you see on E...tell them about it.....Sasha certainly didn't use this method... today's chemists are untalented and ruthless around the rainforest.....saff oil goes for 1000 euros in Amsterdam...it's profitable stuff... completely unethical though
Just experienced what I believe to be envy or jealousy for the first time in my 57 years!! 😬 I mean, Sasha and Ann are truly my heroes and I can only wish to meet a man with half the IQ and EQ Sasha had hehe.... Thank you for allowing me to feel this new emotion btw.... 😻
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.

@@deedubu1602 im deeply nihilistic so i cant say i disagree. its just in 20yrs hindsight i wonder what role "safe" drug use played.

When I take certain psychedelics or disassociatives..I certainly hear music. Audio hallucinations..it's always the same crazy tune .

Sasha, Darrell Lemaire, Hoffman, and McKenna, all pioneers of psychedelics. Sasha was a beautiful rebel soul. Control is the core of Government power. 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.
Amazing documentary, previously very difficult to watch or find. Thank you for making it available. This was made just before the publication of the Shulgin Index and everyone is there, Paul Daley, David Nichols and even Bob Sager (of the DEA). I just miss that there should be some footage of the meeting of Sasha and Terence Mckenna. This can be found online would but give another perspective on the more philosophical side of Sasha
Oh damn, Alex Grey!!! I've wanted to visit the CoSM for years. Appreciate Sasha and Anne, PIHKAL and TIHKAL are beautiful reads, highly suggest reading them.
Albert Hoffman and Sasha Shulgin are two of the greatest wizards to ever bless this earth!! Respect the set and setting. Respect the dose. Always test your things!! Be safe!!
😆 yeah I know! But perhaps he'd become so focussed on describing details from all the different trips it formed a picture in your mind. I used to have a photographic memory (still do?) and it enabled me to get high grades in school tests etc... P.S I have given away several copies of PHIKAL I acquired over the years and am without one and can only hope the people I gave them to enjoyed them and learned as much as I did.. 😘
@@arleighjones4987 lol! I know! So much for my photographic memory hey?!!! (not the first time I've made this mistake btw) But my philosophy on life has always been "just like there's no point in dying with millions in your bank account, why would you need all your braincells?" But yeah, it's all relative in the end 😁
I'm so very impressed by these incredible individuals, for some reason I have experienced an awakening and I now want to experience these mind opening compounds and find out what I have been missing, my awakening has shown me that the mind is a separate function than that of the brain, I now consider the brain as the interface of mind and body, and I think I can prove it. Really it's already been proven they are just not aware of what has been proven.
i love mdma and have taken it dozens if not more than 100x... one way it helps me is with social anxiety; if i feel shy i literally imagine WHAT WOULD I DO IF I WAS ON ECSTACY? and usually that's the RIGHT THING
Dr Mendelson was my doctor in San Francisco for 6 years in the 90s. The best regular Doctor always asked about my life . Broadminded amd broadly informed. I credit him as a key my life transition from late 20s to early 30s. Excellent film.. Thank you ❤🎉
…most of the documentaries I’ve watched regarding soccer crowd violence in Britain during the 1980s inevitably & thankfully mention the near seizure or disappearance of this alcohol fuelled activity at matches during the 1989/90 & following season because as interviewed scallys & hooligans cheerfully declared “ we were still high on E from the night before & the last thing on our minds was fighting rival crews whom felt the same as us “ . The authorities soon put a stop to it by preventing Raves thus sending them all back onto special brew & coke ….
None of these drugs are what does the changing. The only allow the blinders of conditioning to be opened and seen through by the eyes of the heart, bypassing the ego mind. 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.
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.
I have seen this before when I got Introduced to Shulgin in a Hamilton's Pharmacopeia episodes and interviews, got down this rabbit hole among Spirit Molecule and other fantastic docs out there. Such a beautiful thing. Now I have had some gruesome chemical experiences that left me dead and back to life but the respect I had to learn from what they were telling me, because as long as I kept on ignoring it, things got worse.

" _..if you can't make love on a drug, there's something not quite right.._ " Spot on 👌🏼 ♥ MDMA had the power to change the world for the better! And it was, for a little time, it really was. And then they banned it. I wonder why 🤔
6/17... HAPPY BORNDATE SASHA 🎉🙏💖 (and consequently to allll the many marvelous compounds he created that effected so many ... and I can't help but wonder just how many children were conceived while their parents were making use of Sasha's creations)🤔🥰
Terrific documentary, at the beginning they are speaking of peyote yet show a spined non psychoactive cactus, later on Ted is discussing his non-enthusiasm for cactus because of their spines, 50 or more in my collection and rarely am I in massive pain, the most psychoactive I've heard is the penis cactus from the cereus family and it has one massive spine. Did someone take over his property after his passing to continue the research and growing? Would have loved to have seen an exploration of his greenhouse where the plants and their descriptives would have been talked about. Midway through the dirty pictures title was explained as analogous to molecular structures, chuckle Worthy
I love fantasy and in particular, I love the wizard archetype - it is the fictional archetype i identify most with....but that is fiction - Alexander Shulgin was a real-life wizard and alchemist, and the only real hunan being I can honestly say I genuinely look up to and to some degree, idolize. RIP good Sir. (On a side note: did anyone else get the distinct impression that Sasha's son communicated some jealousy and even a bit of malice towards his dad?)
We are very close to rescheduling mdma. Stage 3 trials are finishing up with MAPS and others. Veterans with PTSD are, and going to be the first recipients. Very optimistic future for the chemical
We do have the ultimate drug inside us all. DMT, the purest and best way to have a life changing experience. You just have to push your body to near death to release it, with long fasting or ultra distance sports. Every prophet knew this and shared their revelations after a 40+ day fast.
Terrific documentary, at the beginning they are talking about peyote yet show a spined cactus, it's my understanding that of all the cacti the most potent is the penis Cactus and it has only one spine per penis branch and is entirely handleable, Ted also mentions the spiny Factor as a impediment to enthusiasm for the plant itself, very few of my 50 different Cactus have a meanbite to them, the opuntia are the worst with their g l o c h i d s but as far as I know are not psychotropic, dirty pictures having to do with the molecular structure is chuckleworthy, thank you

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!
wow, that was a beautiful comment shared here... you beautiful human😉
thanks for these kind and beautiful words !

Vast majority were against drugs back then so were the politicians, just the way it was
Been doing my part since 1971.
Imagine him in his prime ,what an intellect and spirit
Isn't it awesome he got to surround himself with ❤ in the desert before the long ride ,, Einstein said matter cannot b created or destroyed only transferred from one state to another 😊
@@JayBoyle-y3m - Einstein also said "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, while expecting a different result." heh
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.
well spoken🙂
Thanks for uploading it! ❤
Our pleasure!
Amazing documentary, previously very difficult to watch or find. Thank you for making it available. This was made just before the publication of the Shulgin Index and everyone is there, Paul Daley, David Nichols and even Bob Sager (of the DEA). I just miss that there should be some footage of the meeting of Sasha and Terence Mckenna. This can be found online would but give another perspective on the more philosophical side of Sasha

Ahhh, good spot!
crazy find!!!!
Oh damn, Alex Grey!!! I've wanted to visit the CoSM for years.
Appreciate Sasha and Anne, PIHKAL and TIHKAL are beautiful reads, highly suggest reading them.
Albert Hoffman and Sasha Shulgin are two of the greatest wizards to ever bless this earth!! Respect the set and setting. Respect the dose. Always test your things!! Be safe!!
Why did Sascha's lab look exactly the way i pictured it in my head from reading Phikal? 🤯
😆 yeah I know! But perhaps he'd become so focussed on describing details from all the different trips it formed a picture in your mind.
I used to have a photographic memory (still do?) and it enabled me to get high grades in school tests etc...
P.S I have given away several copies of PHIKAL I acquired over the years and am without one and can only hope the people I gave them to
enjoyed them and learned as much as I did.. 😘
@@bow5326 its PIHKAL......PIHKAL.
@@arleighjones4987 lol! I know! So much for my photographic memory hey?!!! (not the first time I've made this mistake btw) But my philosophy on life has always been "just like there's no point in dying with millions in your bank account, why would you need all your braincells?" But yeah, it's all relative in the end 😁
I've loved this man my whole life and never knew who he was! 🥰🤣
I love Cactus. The tbm short form is so great!
I'm so very impressed by these incredible individuals, for some reason I have experienced an awakening and I now want to experience these mind opening compounds and find out what I have been missing, my awakening has shown me that the mind is a separate function than that of the brain, I now consider the brain as the interface of mind and body, and I think I can prove it. Really it's already been proven they are just not aware of what has been proven.
❤
If I can give just one tiny bit of guidance it's to not have any expectations whatsoever. Harder than it sounds. Safe travels my friend 💜
@@bow5326 ❤
Man oh man…what a great way to study and discovery our brain nature…great documentary…congrats to all and don’t forget the camera guys👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I was very fortunate to of known the Shulgins. Amazing man and an incredible mind. GREAT chemist
i love mdma and have taken it dozens if not more than 100x... one way it helps me is with social anxiety; if i feel shy i literally imagine
WHAT WOULD I DO IF I WAS ON ECSTACY?
and usually that's the RIGHT THING
Dr Mendelson was my doctor in San Francisco for 6 years in the 90s.
The best regular Doctor always asked about my life .
Broadminded amd broadly informed.
I credit him as a key my life transition from late 20s to early 30s.
Excellent film..
Thank you ❤🎉
…most of the documentaries I’ve watched regarding soccer crowd violence in Britain during the 1980s inevitably & thankfully mention the near seizure or disappearance of this alcohol fuelled activity at matches during the 1989/90 & following season because as interviewed scallys & hooligans cheerfully declared “ we were still high on E from the night before & the last thing on our minds was fighting rival crews whom felt the same as us “ .
The authorities soon put a stop to it by preventing Raves thus sending them all back onto special brew & coke ….
wow...
Mama mama free at the gate
None of these drugs are what does the changing. The only allow the blinders of conditioning to be opened and seen through by the eyes of the heart, bypassing the ego mind. 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.
I agree and believe you are right
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.
Thanks, Wikipedia
You meant to say Aaron Jennings
Sasha, a blessing to mankind
I have seen this before when I got Introduced to Shulgin in a Hamilton's Pharmacopeia episodes and interviews, got down this rabbit hole among Spirit Molecule and other fantastic docs out there. Such a beautiful thing. Now I have had some gruesome chemical experiences that left me dead and back to life but the respect I had to learn from what they were telling me, because as long as I kept on ignoring it, things got worse.
R.I.P SASHA thanks for everything ❤
Organic chem is BY FAR the hardest and most WONDERFUL drug I have ever dipped my toe in! (…and that is most drugs over the past 20 years or so)
I hate our government
Have thought about joining the special military operation to get free citizenship to Russia in the unlikely event you survive. You only appreciate the freedom you had when you lose it. Like most things
yeah....it still gets me mad, but i'm more saddened with the whole thing...yeah
I hate your government
Terrific documentary. Thank you for producing it.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I was laughing so hard when the guy “attempted to merge his being with a large automobile”😂😂😂
This is some real shit. Wait until you think you’re being forced into a being merge with one of several people, the most likely being your father who you fear will come home, hug you, merge into each other, then into the rest of the universe
😳😬@@mr.mystical3450
😅😂
@@mr.mystical3450 I just started smoking thca and the night before last I took 5 hits instead of 2 and had a horrible anxiety the whole time. I woke up the next day and was dreadfully high the whole day. Any tips?
Have a friend in S.E Utah who was an associate with Shulguns back in the 1990s. He learned his craft from the master. We : that being all of our group of desert rats had so many amazingly spiritual and family efferming nights under the full moon in the wilderness of the canyon country of SE. Utah. Thank you Andy ! Love Carl.
@15:21 this man's joy 🥹 so pure......
Bring back production y’all
" _..if you can't make love on a drug, there's something not quite right.._ "
Spot on 👌🏼 ♥
MDMA had the power to change the world for the better! And it was, for a little time, it really was.
And then they banned it. I wonder why 🤔
Thanks from Paris for the upload! The kind of documentary not exactly the easiest to find on internet 😅
Glad you enjoyed it!
What great people and a great story. Thanks for making this
Glad you enjoyed it!
LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANKYOU.
A True Scientist, I salute you. 👏
This is such an amazing documentary.
Creation is life,transformation is death,fear neither,
Good on the man for doing the great work. Top man
6/17... HAPPY BORNDATE SASHA 🎉🙏💖 (and consequently to allll the many marvelous compounds he created that effected so many ... and I can't help but wonder just how many children were conceived while their parents were making use of Sasha's creations)🤔🥰
Beautiful unfettered witnesses of the Glory of God! Thank you, I love curious people. it's like they never lost their innocents.
Terrific documentary, at the beginning they are speaking of peyote yet show a spined non psychoactive cactus, later on Ted is discussing his non-enthusiasm for cactus because of their spines, 50 or more in my collection and rarely am I in massive pain, the most psychoactive I've heard is the penis cactus from the cereus family and it has one massive spine. Did someone take over his property after his passing to continue the research and growing? Would have loved to have seen an exploration of his greenhouse where the plants and their descriptives would have been talked about. Midway through the dirty pictures title was explained as analogous to molecular structures, chuckle Worthy
The most satisfying door opening sound at 47:54
what the
No squeek. Pretty standard door opening. Also no closing clunk upon walkthrough. Disappointing.
The documentary has Interesting content, definitely worth the educational value despite the poor direction and fragmentary style.
I’ve had beautiful experiences on MDMA so herewith my many thanks ✌🏻😊
Sasha is honest at all times.
I love fantasy and in particular, I love the wizard archetype - it is the fictional archetype i identify most with....but that is fiction - Alexander Shulgin was a real-life wizard and alchemist, and the only real hunan being I can honestly say I genuinely look up to and to some degree, idolize. RIP good Sir.
(On a side note: did anyone else get the distinct impression that Sasha's son communicated some jealousy and even a bit of malice towards his dad?)
The metabolites no longer are able to enter the bloodstream because the part that spreads them has become calcified.

Never seen this much advertisement in one docu 🥵
Awesome share, thank you!🎉🪅🎊
Thank you! Cheers!
It’s a crime against humanity making ecstasy a schedule 1. We would likely have had global peace by now.
We are very close to rescheduling mdma. Stage 3 trials are finishing up with MAPS and others. Veterans with PTSD are, and going to be the first recipients. Very optimistic future for the chemical
Unfortunately our Us government profits in wars. If there is no wars there is no profit. They won’t let that happen
No money in peace were doomed we better save ourselves
The same people who told you to _trust the science_ were also deathly afraid of _actual science._ The irony.
Some of the best years of my life were spent at underground rave parties in Detroit from 97-01. MDMA is an amazing substance
We do have the ultimate drug inside us all. DMT, the purest and best way to have a life changing experience. You just have to push your body to near death to release it, with long fasting or ultra distance sports. Every prophet knew this and shared their revelations after a 40+ day fast.
What an outstanding documentary. I will see you all in Tikal.
Finding drugs is simply the pursuit of happiness. Which supposedly is our inaleinable right.
Terrific documentary, at the beginning they are talking about peyote yet show a spined cactus, it's my understanding that of all the cacti the most potent is the penis Cactus and it has only one spine per penis branch and is entirely handleable, Ted also mentions the spiny Factor as a impediment to enthusiasm for the plant itself, very few of my 50 different Cactus have a meanbite to them, the opuntia are the worst with their g l o c h i d s but as far as I know are not psychotropic, dirty pictures having to do with the molecular structure is chuckleworthy, thank you
great, great Documentation.🎉
Glad you enjoyed it!
2-CB. You're tapping in to the very essence of why humans such exist. Yes, it's a turbo charge of something very specific about the feeling that leads to reproduction.
Epic.
I believe Dr. William Fantegrossi has never taken psychedelics, or he would know there's something on the other side.
Phsycadelics saved my life. Long story short ...i got real depressed. And 5 microdot later....lmao. im back baby!!!!!
I lost my sobriety date but i did get checked fir my selfishness.thank u mom fir knowing GOd is also greater then the compounds.and that love can be reconized within and attracted from without.
this made me cry
MY belief is that "sobriety dates" are just mind torture when followed...i'm trying to break free from giving that any energy...just MY personal belief, but ❤️ this little share, hit me BIG time🫶🏻
Sasha and Owsley !🎉
Lotta other names that are relevant too.. not sure why you only mention owsley as well lol...
Maybe cause Bear was the shit, and maybe more well known, just a guess
Gentlemen I salute you and thank you for your contribution to the quest for understanding and illumination of what astounds us. May the path rise up to meet you .
thank you dr shulgin , you changed the world
What a beautiful documentary!
Does anyone know what Ted has been up to after Alexander and Anne’s passing? (I only don’t call him Sasha because I have deep respect for him in the intro for Pihkal, it says- “his friends know him at Sasha” and regrettably, I never got to meet him)
Love everyone's got an instrument to play ❤❤❤
Early E was awesome
Have u tried mdma crystals recently in America I’ve got some straight from Europe and it’s awsome
god damn cops
Really the politicians at fault
fuckin god damn cops
@@sitindogmas They just want to keep the original thinkers living in fear.
whaaaaa??? 👀👀👀😁👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏 thanks for posting!!
The war on drugs failed
Sasha, Ann - Thank You guys!!!! ❤ for all od delicious phens and tryptamines you discover and gave to the world!❤
😻💯
I could not control anything inside a DMT trip ~ It scared me more than death. . . . and now I'm even more afraid of death. . . .which is ridiculous.
One day governments and corporations will be but a faded whisper of a memory.
Drugs (of some form or other) shall remain...
"..and there is no mention in the constitution of Drugs, anywhere!"
drugs against war !!
What a wonderful documentary...thank you!!
Our pleasure!
