Not sure if this is anywhere on BL but they are having a documentary on him Sunday at 9/8c. It seems like it may be interesting and I only saw one commercial for it so I'm not sure how many of you know about it. But it seems like they are looking into alternative medicines recently ever since the advent of medical marijuana perhaps this is the start of mdma therapy

^ The love drug, I didn't but it seems to be interesting to hear his perspective on the subject.

The whole thing seems to be on that above link. Definitely worth a watch!

Yeah they did a great job showing who he was and how as a scientist he couldn't allow his work to be hidden even if it meant announcing what he does to a world not so understanding.

Dudes literally my hero for going "fuck this I'm doing chemistry in my shed" and actually succeeding in novel synthesis. if I could be even a single fraction of the chemist he was, it doesn't even have to be drugs
