Sorry i didn't post this earlier, i thought it was last week. Anyways, i'm taking of to go there right now. I'd post this in the meetups, but i doubt anyone will make it there in time (it starts in an hour), and i'll post back on what took place there. Alex Shulgin and his wife are speaking there tonight. If anyone can make it, make it. It's by Van Ness/Geary area. I won't wear a blue lightstick, but check the pics on the bluelight pic site and if you recognize me is you see me.
Peace!

from 5-7 PM on Thursday, January 20, 1999 at the San Francisco Medical
Society, 1409 Sutter St. (at Franklin),

Ecstasy (MDMA) is a psychedelic/amphetamine drug that has become
popular among young people at all-night dance-a-thons called "raves." On
December 2, the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) announced a $54
million research and education program on Ecstasy and other club drugs.
The modern re-discoverer of MDMA is Dr. Alexander Shulgin, a chemist
who has synthesized nearly 200 chemicals related to psychedelic drugs. MDMA
was originally used in psychotherapy, and Shulgin's wife Ann assisted in
treatment sessions. The Shulgins' co-authored PIKHAL (Phenethylamines I Have
Known and Loved) (1991) and TIKHAL (Tryptamines I Have Known and Loved)
(1997), wherein they give accounts of the drugs' chemical formulas and
effects. They will speak on the discovery and early therapeutic uses of
MDMA.
Speaking on recreational use of ecstasy will be researcher Jerome
Beck, Dr.P.H., project director for the first federally funded sociological
study of MDMA and co-author with Marsha Rosenbaum of Pursuit of Ecstasy: The
MDMA Experience (1994).
The "now" of Ecstasy will be covered by Emanuel Sferios, founder and
national director of DanceSafe (Berkeley), a non-profit organization
promoting health and safety within the rave and nightclub community.
The forum is free and open to the public. Please phone (415)
