Important preprint on the risks of ibogaine in clinics (19,071 patients, 11 clinics): all 6 deaths within 72h were in opioid-detox patients, 0 among 8,689 non-SUD patients, supporting the idea that risk clusters in opioid detox in the TBI/PTSD indications researchsquare.com/article/r…

Happy birthday to Sasha Shulgin! 🫡🎂
Thank you for everything you've done!
"How long will this last, this delicious feeling of being alive, of having penetrated the veil which hides beauty and the wonders of celestial vistas? It doesn’t matter, as there can be nothing but gratitude for even a glimpse of what exists for those who can become open to it."
—Alexander Shulgin, Pihkal: A Chemical Love Story
Happy birthday to Sasha Shulgin, born on this day in 1925. He invented hundreds of chemical technologies for exploring the mind and healing the soul.

(Many of the photos from this thread are from @Erowid's vault on Sasha, which is an incredible resource that rewards exploration. Another valuable historical resource is @PsychedelicLozo's venerable psychedelic salon podcast psychedelicsalon.com/ erowid.org/culture/character…

Since writing this thread, I published an open access paper on the history of how Sasha's DOM/STP got released by Owsley hopp.uwpress.org/content/65/…
If you developed a drug that successfully slowed human aging, how would you actually get it approved by the FDA? Here are my notes on what the FDA signaled at the recent Reagan-Udall Foundation meeting. linkedin.com/pulse/roadmap-f…

"One thing I've learned in my decades of doing research on migraine and studying migraine patients is that we are losing so much creativity, so much innovation, so much vitality, because people are not able to go about their life, they're not able to go to work, they're not able to take care of their families."

Ok, here we go: Much of my work concerns the history and return of scientific racism. I’ve written extensively about attempts to resurrect the shuffling corpse of
race science and eugenics for many years. Bigotry dressed up as biology. 1/n

Big shout out to those researchers who made their data available in PDB over the years
The Chemistry Nobel Prize winners today relied on that open academic data to train their models
We wouldn't have these advances if researchers hadn't made 200,000 protein structures available

Ever wondered what happens in the brain when someone takes the world’s most powerful psychedelic drug?🧐Me too! So we went and found out.
Our new preprint is now live where you can read all about it:

Few people know the LSD blotter world like countercultural scholar, Erik Davis. Read our latest interview with him about the blotter art that shaped psychedelic culture.

It's an indefensible fail that FDA decision makers are talking to us from behind a paywall. I guess FDA Commissioner Califf and coauthors are saying something about votes and membership? Who really knows...

Our reporting found dozens of injured soldiers originally weren't awarded Purple Hearts, despite appearing to qualify, because for fear of undercutting Trump's assertion that the injuries were minor.
Following our report, they Army reversed course and awarded them the honor.
Dozens of US service members received the Purple Heart because of the missile attack in 2020. One soldier told CBS he had constant headaches and memory loss as a result of the TBI: “The person I was prior to a traumatic brain injury, he's gone.”
