Truly a massive loss to all his caregivers, Ann Shulgin of course, and to the psychoactive community.
It saddens Toady, now he will never get the chance to meet the great man himself.
Rest in peace Sasha, may whatever comes after death, if anything at all prove peaceful and trippy as fuck. He deserves a wonderful NDE.
Sasha is the man who inspired me to take up the same path he walked, albeit with a few differences in personal tastes, psychotropic-wise.
First psychedelic he ever made (toady, not Shulgin; that is), is 2C-D via Knoevanagel condensation of the appropriate benzaldehyde with nitromethane. Just needs the nitro reducing. PIHKAL along with a little credit to Erowid for his background research.
After that, then whats left of the aldehyde will be put towards the corresponding amphetamine, DOM.
The Toad-man will, once he was worked up slowly to an ideal dosage, make his first trips on the 2,5-MeO substitution pattern of the phens/phets a hike in Toady's favourite woodlands/forest on DOM or/and 2C-D, in commemoration of the great man.
Sasha inspired me, I can't emphasize how much so. A great and visionary, doing his best to debunk the vile morass of governmental lies, propaganda and to cleanse the plain damned well bovine fecal expulsions, no doubt about it, Alexander Shulgin came to this earth way ahead of his time, and kicked some serious arse
