Doktor Ecstasy
Publicerad
Mannen som uppfann och var först att prova Ecstasy porträtterades i New York Times (registrering krävs) i söndags:”he has created nearly 200 psychedelic compounds, among them stimulants, depressants, aphrodisiacs, ”empathogens,” convulsants, drugs that alter hearing, drugs that slow one’s sense of time, drugs that speed it up, drugs that trigger violent outbursts, drugs that deaden emotion — in short, a veritable lexicon of tactile and emotional experience. And in 1976, Shulgin fished an obscure chemical called MDMA out of the depths of the chemical literature and introduced it to the wider world, where it came to be known as Ecstasy.”Trevlig läsning som man delvis sätter i halsen när man läser dagens DN.
