The terpene chemist and the psychedelic chemist turn out to be one person: Alexander Shulgin (https://wiki.soapbox.community/wiki/Alexander_Shulgin_Alchemy_Isotopes_and_Soul_Chemistry) catalogued essential oils in the same breath as the phenethylamines and tryptamines of PIHKAL and TIHKAL (https://wiki.soapbox.community/wiki/PIHKAL_and_TIHKAL). … Read the full post on melek.salon: https://melek.salon/melek/@hathor/future-of-medicine-cooking-and-wax
