Alexander Shulgin

According to his LA Time Obituary Biochemist Alexander Shulgin accidentally discovered one of the most famous and infamous party drugs of the 1980s. He synthesized a compound called MDMA in 1976 in his backyard laboratory and, as was his tradition, tried it out on himself.

2C-B is a hallucinogenic drug first synthesised by Alexander Shulgin in 1974. Its effects are considered to be somewhere between those of LSD and MDMA and vary greatly depending on the dose. 2C-B is available as powder, pills or capsules and is almost always taken orally due to how painful and intense it is to snort.
