Thank goodness we have someone else here on the Sift (other than myself) that truly understands both the molecular structure AND the experience itself! I think "walls breathing" with a slight "therapeutic effect" would result in a Shulgin rating of 1 - where as the correct dosage with the right strain could very well end up with a Shulgin rating of 3 /5 potentially 4 - so the spectrum is vast. To reach those states on mushrooms I would say is potentially dangerous - due to duration and effects - if that is the state one wishes to see - I'd highly recommend smoking straight up very small doses of 5-MEO-DMT (which is potentially dangerous past say 7 milligrams so start small and actually weight the dose) or NN-DMT (up to 25 milligrams - which is not dangerous at all - one could smoke 200000000000000000000 mg and it's safe, "breakthrough" experience usually occurring somewhere in the 20mg-50mg range). I don't promote "breakthrough experiences" like the poet, mycologist & ethnobotanist + ultimate source of knowledge on the subject (Terence Mckenna) did - I think it's a lot crazier than any person can realize is possible but what I recommend is starting small and working up from there.

Sasha's a great person to chat with.. always intelligent and lucid.
His two-volume book set is a necessity in any psychonauts library.


Which one is Sasha? is that Shulgin's nickname?

Ramachandran is to the brain what Sasha Shulgin is to the mind.

Joking aside, there is NO better treatment for post traumatic stress disorder than psychotherapy with MDMA sessions.

thank you for the correction. I love reading his entries that include the Shulgin Rating Scale

One of the first truly great psychonauts, Shulgin is the man. He's been a researcher under big pharma and law enforcement as well as an independent researcher, and his perspective now gives him possibly the best voice for relaxing the unusually sphincter-like attitude of mainstream science towards psychopharmacology. Wonderful sift, thanks Rottenseed.

P.S. It's Ann, not Anne.

Hey, I thought you might get a kick out of this sift, this man is on the forefront of psychopharmacology research.

well done...
