Enjoy MDMA? What about MDA? How about 2C-B? 2C-I,C or E? What about DOC, DOI, or DOB? 5-MEO-DMT? 5-MEO-DIPT? 4-ACO-DMT? DPT?
Please know that one person created many of the world's foremost psychedelic and entheogenic chemicals. In addition to what he created, many more that he didn't create he nevertheless dragged back into the sunlight of popular consciousness by making the easiest route to synthesis public knowledge, as well as provided (trustworthy, professional) personal experience reports RE: Which chemicals at what doses reacted in what way, and how intensely each dose acted. And finally as if all this were not enough, he wrote several enormously valuable compendiums of the knowledge he used to make his discoveries, the specific chemistry needed to recreate them, and the qualitative information about each chemical, one book for the tryptamines, Tihkal, and one for the phenethlyamines Pihkal, (and much more at a later time, to boot, in "The Shulgin Index"!) and then he had them published, ensuring they were widely available to the public for all time.
His out and out creation of an insanely genius methodology, which he then employed for use in the discovery of hundreds of psychedelic and empathogenic chemicals that did not exist before his discovery, and just as important, the RE-discovery of many hundreds of others that fit the same profiles, but simply may have been synthed or patented or extracted elsewhere at one point in human history... And just as important, his RE-introduction of these chemicals to any/all who are interested enough to come looking, complete with a how-to manual covering the step by step chemistry, and the thought process behind it all for everything created....These are the reasons, exclusively, why the vast majority of "Alternative" or "Nontraditional" psychedelic chemicals that exist today, exist at all, and that you are able to find them at reasonable cost.
So whether you are into 2-CB which Shulgin discovered/created, or whether you are into MDMA which he simply resurrected from obscurity, or whether you are into 25i-NBOMe, which he did not create, but without his 2C-i to build off would not exist anyway..... Odds are good you have some reason to pay a hearty thank-you to Sasha and Ann Shulgin. Without them, for one reason or another, things would be extremely different today, in the psychedelic scene, and subsequently, the world around us, if not for their immense personal risks taken, and their selfless contribution made solely curiosity, science, and overall, for the greater good . And now they need YOUR help.
...........
Other than MDMA ......Other than those two I just mentioned, many of these relatively well known chemicals listed up top, and also MANY hundreds and hundreds more would not even exist if they had not been discovered/invented/rediscovered/reintroduced by Sasha, and trialed by Sasha and Ann a cadre of close friends, and then chronicled for the world to read about in Pihkal and Tihkal. Also, its worth mentioning that while a different man (technically, while two different unaffiliated men) are responsible for creating the NBOMe series, without the 2C-B, I, E, and C structure there to be added to, this series would not exist either. So really, a whole lot of the counterculture owes the Shulgins an enormous amount of gratitude. Being that Sasha has had failing health after suffering a stroke some years back and their medical bills cost a fortune, and they are not at all wealthy people, there is a way to SHOW that gratitude by giving something back to the Shulgins. I am attempting to lead by example.

I donated a good cache of blotter art to help out Sasha & Ann Shulgin. Big thx to Mark & Kelly @ Elysium Foundation for making it possible for me TO help. Read on to learn what you can do, too!
Sasha & Ann Shulgin are truly lucky to have folks like you working to provide them with even a small fraction of the immense amount of comfort and care they deserve.
For being a pair of people whom so many of us are MOST indebted too, its quite sad how few people are aware of it, and even sadder how few are aware of the fact that they actually DO need our help right now.
If you, too, owe Sasha a favor, its time to repay that favor right now.
You can visit the Elysium Foundation's Facebook page, and get in contact with them in order to ask about what sort of stuff you might be able to donate to the cause to be auctioned. You can also contact them and simply ask how best to make a cash donation for Sasha's medical bills, and/or check up on Sasha's progress. Find them here:
If you prefer to make a direct donation by paypal, then see below. You can choose a recurring or a one time donation via the buttons below. Please give generously. Sasha and Ann need all the help they can get at this point.
For non-tax-deductible contributions that will help cover recent medical costs for Sasha, and pay for the home-based caregiving help that is required during his time of healing, please use PayPal to make donations via the buttons below. Please choose a monthly amount from the “Subscription options” drop-down menu and then click the ”Subscribe” button to make a recurring monthly donation.

I will also be sure to post links when any more blotter artwork, or any type of artwork or otherwise goes up for sale or auction where the proceeds are slated to go 100% to help cover Sasha's medical bills, and I will certainly post any links to auctions that contain blotter that I donated to the cause in case you want to bid on any of that specifically.
