Dear Dr. Shulgin: I have been puzzled, why this compound (4-HO-5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine) wasn't included in TIHKAL -- for me it looks very appealing. Have you by the way, ever looked into cathinone (beta-keto-amphetamine) analogues of some of the psychedelic amphetamines (DOB, TMA-2, etc.) The MDMA-analogue (Methylone) is active indeed, do you think the 2,4-5-substitution pattern could

Dear Dr. Shulgin: I would like to ask a question based on your answer to the "Juul's Giant" question. Where and with whom would a botany student have to study to specialize in the area of isolating psychedelic compounds from plants? You mentioned having to be competent in Chemistry, Pharmacology, and Botany at the same time. Of the people doing this work, is there anybody interested in passing

Dear Dr. Shulgin: I received a jewel's giant cactus a while ago and it is about 2 years old. Can you tell me more about it? -- Brad Dear Brad: You have a sample of one of the most understudied and controversial cacti that I am aware of. What is the origin of its name, its botanical classification, the alkaloidal composition and its possible psychopharmacological activity? Let me put together

Dear Dr. Shulgin, I have been thinking about various materials. Some come on rapidly, but others take 2-3 hours or so. I have a theory. Could it be that the "fast" materials are by themselves active, while the "slow" ones are inert until they are changed within the organism to something else that is active? What have you done in the way of investigating this anomaly? - Anon. Dear Anon., A very

Dear Dr. Shulgin: What exactly is "ice" and how does it differ from "crank" “speed” or “methamphetamine”? What are the adverse effects of this drug on an individual? -- Jennifer Dear Jennifer: There has been quite a flood of questions recently about "ice" so I suspect that there might have been an upsurge of the use of "ice" itself. First, a statement of simple fact. "Ice" and the

Dear Dr. Shulgin: Does Ecstasy stay in your hair and, if so, for how long? - Anon. Dear Anon - The answer to your questions are simple and straight forward: Yes it does stay in your hair until you shave your head. With the extraordinary sensitivity of present day analytical instruments one can detect MDMA in human hair at the picogram level per milligram of hair. A picogram is a millionth
