Very cool. I’d be very interested in other similar reading material if anyone has some recommendations. It reminds me of when I was a teenager and I stumbled upon Alexander Shulgin and PiKHAL (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/PiHKAL).
It’s a collection of 1st hand accounts from one of the countries longest running underground MDMA facilitators. “Anne Other”.
Tucker Max published it, and subsequently had a session with Anne.
This was all years before psychedelics were in the mainstream.
I went on to be mentored by Anne and ran an underground clinic for a few years - PBS even featured me in a docuseries “the mysteries of mental illness episode 4” where I allowed them to come in my apt and film me openly sitting for a woman with PTSD.
Anne Other was a pen name used by the author. It was not Anne Shulgin, although that would have been great to have her mentorship in that way. She is a sweet soul.
I loved when she said “falling in love is the psychedelic everyone has access to in this lifetime… and they’d outlaw that too if they could.”
