CALIFORNIA – Stating that the Government has abdicated its responsibility to provide unbiased and accurate drug education and is
thereby increasing the individual and social harms that may be associated with drug use, a nonprofit organization focused on “cognitive liberty” has unveiled a new online service aimed at providing real drug
education.
A project of the Alchemind Society: The International Association for Cognitive Liberty, ASK DR. SHULGIN ONLINE allows any person with Internet access to ask word-famous chemist and writer Alexander Shulgin,
Ph.D. a question regarding psychoactive drugs such as mescaline, LSD, and MDMA (Ecstasy).
For years, those seeking accurate information about psychoactive plants and substances have had few places to turn for reliable information. “In waging its War on Drugs, the U.S. Government has engaged in a dangerous ‘Just Say No’ propaganda campaign under the banner of ‘drug education,’
says Richard Glen Boire, an attorney and director of the nonprofit Alchemind Society. “Given that drugs like MDMA (Ecstasy) are used for a variety of personal, epistemological, spiritual and therapeutic purposes in spite of the government’s prohibition, ASK DR. SHULGIN ONLINE aims to provide reliable information that might well save someone’s life and
which, at the very least, will shine some light into an area that has long been the victim of an information blackout,” said Boire.
Shulgin, who has been termed the “Godfather of MDMA,” is a legend in the world of psychedelics and cognitive enhancing substances. In addition to creating over 200 novel psychoactive substances and testing them on himself prior to 1986 (when a federal law made much of his work
illegal), Dr. Shulgin with his wife Ann have authored the books PIHKAL and TIHKAL. The books mix narratives of the Shulgins’ psychoactive drug experiences with detailed laboratory notes. But many people have wished
that they had some way of contacting Dr. Shulgin to ask specific questions such as:
· In your opinion is MDMA (Ecstasy) neurotoxic?
· Can LSD really cause “flashbacks?”
· Can using GHB recreationally result in a coma?
· How is MDMA (Ecstasy) different from a legal drug like Prozac?
Consulting a book like PIHKAL or TIHKAL is helpful, but at some point, for some questions, you wish you could just ask the author.
Now you can.
How It Works: Asking a question is free, easy, and private.
