I am pleased to invite you to a live audio web chat on Tuesday, February 22 at 3 PM PST / 6 PM EST with myself, Dr. Sasha Shulgin, the noted psychedelic chemist and pharmacologist, and his wife Ann Shulgin, the beloved writer and therapist. Dr. Shulgin, a former Dow research chemist, is well known for his creation and discovery of new psychoactive chemicals and for his promotion in the late 1970s and early 1980s of the use of MDMA in psychotherapy. Sasha and Ann Shulgin together authored and published the books PIHKAL: A Chemical Love Story and TIHKAL: The Continuation, detailing the synthesis of and their personal experience with hundreds of psychedelics.
The Shulgins will be online to address your questions on a range of topics from the "war on drugs" to the therapeutic use of MDMA. Please email questions@drugpolicy.org before February 22 to submit questions, and don't forget to bookmark the chat address!
When: Tuesday, February 22, 2005
3 PM PST / 6 PM EST

Read on for further information about the Shulgins and myself:
Sasha Shulgin studied Chemistry at Harvard University and Biochemistry and Medicine at the University of California at San Francisco. He has authored over 200 research papers published in peer reviewed scientific journals, been awarded some 20 patents and written four books. Sasha has been studying the chemistry and effects of psychedelics for over 30 years. He was recently featured in the New York Times Magazine, which described him "not as a scientist in the modern sense but as a different type -- what Aldous Huxley, the novelist turned psychedelic philosopher, once described as a 'naturalist of the mind.'"
Ann Shulgin is a therapist who conducted psychedelic therapy before 1985, when MDMA was effectively made illegal when it was reclassified as a Schedule I drug. Ann is a researcher and spokesperson for the beneficial use of psychedelics, including MDMA, in a therapeutic setting. The Shulgins travel and speak extensively on the topic of psychedelics.
I am the founder and executive director of the Drug Policy Alliance, the leading organization in the United States promoting alternatives to the "war on drugs." I've spent many wonderful hours with Sasha and Ann over the years. It will be a real pleasure to have you join our conversation.

I encourage you to pass along word about the chat to other people you know who might be interested, and look forward to seeing you online on the 22nd!
Sincerely,
Ethan Nadelmann
