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.

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!
@@Red25348 always start of low and work your way up when taking something new or from different sources. You can always dose up but you can’t dose down!
I recently got off a long term anti-depressant by 'micro' dosing. So crazy that something I pick up off the ground is vastly superior to modern anti depressants haha. They can't trademark nature so no interest.
When you're dead, you still live on, in the minds and hearts of others. It's energy. You can't kill energy, it only changes form. Energy, e-go, is Energy in motion. It is your sense of self... So yes, the flesh may decay, but the spirit always lives on, much like how a tree sheds its leaves, in order to create fresh soil. 🌱🙏🧡🦊💫
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!!
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 😊
when did we the people give our government permission to tell us what we can or cannot put into our own body? It won’t be long before we get put into prison if we choose not to put something into our own body
This sort of allready happend. You were put in a social prison when you were not vaccinated. Becoming a pariah, and in the Netherlands they started to call you "wappie" wich basicly means people with a certain believe and wearing alufoil heads.
the govs grip is insane on those who want to explore our minds without harming others i mean yes you can watch a flower open on alcohol but try it on phychedelics and you will put the alcohol away
Love the video unfortunately an ad blocked my reply! Psychedelics are harmless and possibly restorative to many afflictions. Thanks Sasha and company for exposing the ludicrous reactionary stance towards something the government doesn’t understand and cannot control and tax ? Currently psychedelics are less controlled thanks to pioneers such as you and your associates.💕❤️
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.
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.
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.
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.

@@arleighjones4987 lol! I know! So much for my photographic memory hey?!!!

…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 ….
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.
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 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?

" _..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 🤔
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?)
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 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
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)🤔🥰
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 .
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.

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
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
My response to what was said around 18:18: That's exactly why all drugs should be LEGALIZED, REGULATED, and TAXED - this would save a LOT of lives, hopefully significantly lower or eradicate the taboo of using drugs, because then people would feel at easy looking for help if they needed it. This would make them clean and properly dosed. It would significantly lower or more than likely eradicate crime that currently happens from drugs being illegal (assuming they regulate and price them appropriately). We could freely explore our innerselves and help grow our being, all to the great benefit of our species. And of course, the gov't would LOVE the tax money it would generate. We are naturally ENDOWED or BUILT to use drugs - it's just as natural as the yearning for sex, learning, building, creating, and all other types of pleasurable activities. The widespread illegality didn't happen until the 20th century - and mainly because the USA pressured all the other countries of the world to follow in suit. I truly believe the major reasons for them being illegal (now) is because Capital and Gov't did not want us working-class folks to realize how exploited we are and how the Gov't doesn't work on our behalf of the people but rather for Capital. Just imagine for a moment if the last 150-200 years were put to use to make life easier for all humanity instead of m maximizing profit. We could all have to work just 3-4 hours a day, and food, clean water, education, and shelter would be available to all of humanity, regardless of where they are on this Earth.
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)
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
What blows my mind is that a lot of the experiences we have on certain psychedelics, I know DMT, I'm not sure about others, are caused by chemicals that already are present in our brain. The chemical we ingest simply makes those chemicals release in the brain. There is a theory: a lot of the experiences people have described from being nearly or completely dead and then returning to life are similar to some DMT reports. So the theory is that maybe when we die, physically, the last thing we experience in our brain is a release of those same chemicals. Maybe we all die with a feeling of losing our ego and sense of self and are welcomed by entities (that may or may not exist only in our mind) that are curious about us, and want to engage with and teach us. It's a nice thought. I'm afraid of dying alone, among a more general fear of death.

I recently got off a long term anti-depressant by 'micro' dosing. So crazy that something I pick up off the ground is vastly superior to modern anti depressants haha. They can't trademark nature so no interest.
Imagine all the other interesting compounds out there left on a shelf
Or still in raw form juat waiting to be found like a lost little puppy in the vast and awesome kingdom of the G.O.D.
Let's go lick frogbutts hahaha
When you're dead, you still live on, in the minds and hearts of others. It's energy. You can't kill energy, it only changes form. Energy, e-go, is Energy in motion. It is your sense of self... So yes, the flesh may decay, but the spirit always lives on, much like how a tree sheds its leaves, in order to create fresh soil. 🌱🙏🧡🦊💫
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!!

when did we the people give our government permission to tell us what we can or cannot put into our own body?
It won’t be long before we get put into prison if we choose not to put something into our own body
This sort of allready happend. You were put in a social prison when you were not vaccinated. Becoming a pariah, and in the Netherlands they started to call you "wappie" wich basicly means people with a certain believe and wearing alufoil heads.
the govs grip is insane on those who want to explore our minds without harming others i mean yes you can watch a flower open on alcohol but try it on phychedelics and you will put the alcohol away
You wont have to wait long at all, unfortunately
Love the video unfortunately an ad blocked my reply! Psychedelics are harmless and possibly restorative to many afflictions. Thanks Sasha and company for exposing the ludicrous reactionary stance towards something the government doesn’t understand and cannot control and tax ? Currently psychedelics are less controlled thanks to pioneers such as you and your associates.💕❤️
@15:21 this man's joy 🥹 so pure......
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
56:41 Hamilton Morris in the background
Ahhh, good spot!
crazy find!!!!
:))))))))❤❤❤❤
Wow I didn't know this existed, so many familiar faces and Sasha was such a link between them all.
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.
I've loved this man my whole life and never knew who he was! 🥰🤣
I was very fortunate to of known the Shulgins. Amazing man and an incredible mind. GREAT chemist
Beautiful unfettered witnesses of the Glory of God! Thank you, I love curious people. it's like they never lost their innocents.
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 💜

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🙂
thank you so much for uploading this amazing documentary
R.I.P SASHA thanks for everything ❤
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
Terrific documentary. Thank you for producing it.
Glad you enjoyed it!
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 😁
Posthumous Nobel prize is a thing right? 😭 I hope there comes a day when we’re all thanking this man and his lovely wife. ❤
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)
Sasha, a blessing to mankind
What great people and a great story. Thanks for making this
Glad you enjoyed it!
…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
LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANKYOU.
A True Scientist, I salute you. 👏
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.
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 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.
This is such an amazing documentary.

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 🤔
Good on the man for doing the great work. Top man
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?)
R.I.P to all in the video and I love how they wanted to help people so much.
I’ve had beautiful experiences on MDMA so herewith my many thanks ✌🏻😊
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
Thanks from Paris for the upload! The kind of documentary not exactly the easiest to find on internet 😅
Glad you enjoyed it!
Bring back production y’all
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
The most satisfying door opening sound at 47:54

No squeek. Pretty standard door opening. Also no closing clunk upon walkthrough. Disappointing.

great, great Documentation.🎉
Glad you enjoyed it!
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)🤔🥰
Awesome share, thank you!🎉🪅🎊
Thank you! Cheers!
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 .
Sasha, Ann - Thank You guys!!!! ❤ for all od delicious phens and tryptamines you discover and gave to the world!❤
😻💯
I just witnessed a girl (High as a Kite) grab a paintbrush from Alex Gray and painted on his work. 59:55
Some of the best years of my life were spent at underground rave parties in Detroit from 97-01. MDMA is an amazing substance
What an outstanding documentary. I will see you all in Tikal.
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
The documentary has Interesting content, definitely worth the educational value despite the poor direction and fragmentary style.
So beautiful.... 👏 👏 👏 👏
Changing the name from empathy to ecstasy might have been the biggest marketing mistake of the century
Love everyone's got an instrument to play ❤❤❤
What a wonderful documentary...thank you!!
Our pleasure!
great, thanks a lot. love those two.
Our pleasure!
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🫶🏻
Thank you for sharing this video ❤😊😊
Thanks for watching!
whaaaaa??? 👀👀👀😁👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏 thanks for posting!!
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
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
Finding drugs is simply the pursuit of happiness. Which supposedly is our inaleinable right.
My response to what was said around 18:18:
That's exactly why all drugs should be LEGALIZED, REGULATED, and TAXED - this would save a LOT of lives, hopefully significantly lower or eradicate the taboo of using drugs, because then people would feel at easy looking for help if they needed it.
This would make them clean and properly dosed. It would significantly lower or more than likely eradicate crime that currently happens from drugs being illegal (assuming they regulate and price them appropriately). We could freely explore our innerselves and help grow our being, all to the great benefit of our species. And of course, the gov't would LOVE the tax money it would generate.
We are naturally ENDOWED or BUILT to use drugs - it's just as natural as the yearning for sex, learning, building, creating, and all other types of pleasurable activities.
The widespread illegality didn't happen until the 20th century - and mainly because the USA pressured all the other countries of the world to follow in suit.
I truly believe the major reasons for them being illegal (now) is because Capital and Gov't did not want us working-class folks to realize how exploited we are and how the Gov't doesn't work on our behalf of the people but rather for Capital. Just imagine for a moment if the last 150-200 years were put to use to make life easier for all humanity instead of m maximizing profit. We could all have to work just 3-4 hours a day, and food, clean water, education, and shelter would be available to all of humanity, regardless of where they are on this Earth.
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)
Sasha is honest at all times.
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
What blows my mind is that a lot of the experiences we have on certain psychedelics, I know DMT, I'm not sure about others, are caused by chemicals that already are present in our brain. The chemical we ingest simply makes those chemicals release in the brain. There is a theory: a lot of the experiences people have described from being nearly or completely dead and then returning to life are similar to some DMT reports. So the theory is that maybe when we die, physically, the last thing we experience in our brain is a release of those same chemicals. Maybe we all die with a feeling of losing our ego and sense of self and are welcomed by entities (that may or may not exist only in our mind) that are curious about us, and want to engage with and teach us.
It's a nice thought. I'm afraid of dying alone, among a more general fear of death.
The metabolites no longer are able to enter the bloodstream because the part that spreads them has become calcified.
