I don't know why they call him the father of x, since it was first sythesized and patented by a German pharmaceutical company in 1914.
I do agree that Shulgin's work and life in general are quite fascinating. He's got peytone growing in his yard and the DEA can't do nothin!
i used to do it a lot back in the day... but not too much anymore its been like, well since nye i guess lol...
you really have to chill with it though.. its a powerful drug.

Shulgin is regarded as teh godfather of MDMA as he was the one to realise the psychoactive effects of it and pioneered experimental psychotherapy with it in the 70s. He's still an active pharmacologist and has made so much stuff, he created 2-CI, 2-CT-7 and stuff. And he is a willing participant in his own drug testing! The amount of stuff he has done, especially since he is always making new stuff and eating it ...he should be dead or have no brain left...but he's sstill rocking with it
It was the german pharmaceutical company , Merck, that initally synthesised MDMA along with many other modified amphetamine-like substances.
MDMA does not biodegrade or break down over time. The only reason a pill may "lose its kick" is if you leave it for a long time in a moist environment, which will make the binders of the pill (what holds everything together) break apart, and you will be left with a "wet" pill (think about how coke becomes crystallised in a moist environment, the opposite occurs for pills)

im just about there... not like it used to be.. nothings quite like the first time either. Pills have also lost quality. I remember 1 would last me 5 - 6 hours about 4 or 5 years ago.. now if i party its usually a 3 - 4 pill night.

Because X was all but forgotten as a bunk drug when the story goes like, a student of his suggested he bring X back out and start studying it, and he did and then it was brought to the gov'ts attention, etc...

Yeah, had I known your body builds up resitance to it so fast, I'd planned my first couple of rolls a lot more. I never get the extreme happiness of first timers any more, but rather just feel good about myself. Also tend to just wanna chill to music rather than move around like a fucking monkey. To me E's become rather boring. Not in the sense that I dont enjoy doing it anymore (cuz hell its fun), but I know pretty much exactly what to exepct, and with comedowns and suicide tuesdays, it sometimes isnt worth it.

Varies from person to person, 6 years still going strong, but then I am a naturally very happy person
