Ann Shulgin
Summary
Ann Shulgin was a researcher and writer who worked with psychedelics such as MDMA and 2C-B for three years as a lay-therapist while they were still legal. She had unique and valuable insights into the beneficial effects that psychedelics can have in therapeutic contexts and had made herself a spokesperson for those who continue to do such work.

With her husband Sasha, she co-authored the books PIHKAL and TIHKAL, and she worked together on Book Three in that series. Ann spoke at conferences, particularly about the healing potential of MDMA and psychedelics, and was a respected elder in the psychedelic community.
