'Reality Sandwich and 2012TFC are partnering to bring you a series of videos, 2012 Time for Change presents. Directed by Joao Amorim, these videos feature celebrities and Luminaries on Conscious Evolution and Practical Solutions. In this video, the pharmacologist and chemist Sasha Shulgin talks to Daniel Pinchbeck about the power psychedelics have to "open doors that have been closed." He discusses his pioneering work, including the re-synthesization of MDMA in the late 60's and the discovery of nearly 300 new psychedelic substances.
Alexander "Sasha" Shulgin, Ph.D., is a pharmacologist and chemist known for his creation of new psychoactive chemicals. In 1960, Sasha tried mescaline for the first time. He then experimented with synthesizing chemicals with structures similar to mescaline such as DOM. Since that time, Shulgin has synthesized and bioassayed (self-tested) hundreds of psychoactive chemicals, recording his work in four books and more than two hundred papers.
The full-length film "2012 Time for Change", premiered last spring in San Francisco at the Lumiere-Landmark. It projects a radical alternative to apocalyptic doom and gloom. Directed by Emmy Award nominee Joao Amorim, the film follows journalist Daniel Pinchbeck, author of the bestselling 2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl, on a quest for a new paradigm that integrates the archaic wisdom of tribal cultures with the scientific method.'
