I had almost forgotten him..... I was in a closed circle of psychonauts, we where about 60 people.
We would get our hands on the most exotic substances and share amongst us, and compare trip reports.
It was my entire life, 2cb,2ci,2c-t7,2ce,DIPT,5-meo dipt, lsd etc. So I have tried many of hes creations, and i idolised him. Then in 6 months 4 of the group died, 1 suicide, 3 ODs(not on any of shulgins creations of course). Then I quitted, dropped all my friends, started taking life seriously....
But I have one thing to remind of that time in my life...a book I inherited from one of my now dead friends:

He actually wrote with Shulgin himself, doing experiments using cactusses injected with ummm...some variety of DMT I think- to make the cactus metabolise it into something else. Shulgin adviced him, and my friend did the experiments.
RIP DEX! RIP SHULGIN!
