SLATE NEEDS SOMEBODY TO EDIT THEIR PODCAST TRANSCRIPTS: (HINT) #ALEXANDERSHULGIN'S PSYCHEDELIC COOKBOOKS WERE NOT ENTITLED *TICKLE* OR *PICKLE*

Shulgin was a Dow chemist who actually had a license from the DEA to experiment with psychedelic drugs. And he and his wife, Ann, who recently passed away, they published two books, Tickle and Pickle, which are basically cookbooks and how to make scores and scores and scores of psychedelic drugs.

“Our entire universe is contained in the mind and the spirit. We may choose not to find access to it, we may even deny its existence, but it is indeed there inside us.”

The frame of “books to know me” was interesting. Haven’t consciously thought about some of these books in years, but I guess it’s not meant to be seven books taking up the most space in my head.
