Shulgin Foundation

The revolution they started is now reshaping medicine. Help us guide where it goes next. As psychedelic medicine explodes into the mainstream, we need your help ensuring it grows with the values that made this renaissance possible. The Values That Built the Renaissance When the War on Drugs shut down psychedelic research in the 1970s, Sasha and Ann Shulgin chose a different path. They created a community focused on: Rigorous science — Every substance carefully bioassayed, every effect meticulously documented Ethical practice — Informed consent, careful dosing, respect for the experience Open inquiry — Sharing knowledge freely through PiHKAL and TiHKAL Community care — Creating safe spaces for exploration and healing Now, as the field explodes with billions in funding and rushing timelines, these values have never been more crucial. Your donation doesn't just preserve history—it actively shapes the future by ensuring Shulgin values guide modern psychedelic medicine. How Your Donation Helps Every donation—whether $25 or $25,000—directly funds our mission to guide the psychedelic renaissance: Securing the Shulgin Farm — Creating a permanent center where rigorous, ethical psychedelic science can be taught and practiced as the field expands Training tomorrow's leaders — Developing programs that ensure new practitioners understand not just techniques, but the principles that make psychedelic work transformative and safe Strengthening global community — Building networks that connect pioneering researchers with emerging practitioners Safeguarding essential wisdom — Creating accessible resources so hard-won insights aren't lost in the rush to scale Your donation helps ensure that: New therapists learn the ethical frameworks Ann pioneered Emerging researchers understand the respectful methods Sasha developed Growing communities stay connected to values of care and wisdom Future breakthroughs build on a foundation of responsibility and respect Psychedelic medicine is at a crossroads. It can become just another pharmaceutical category, or fulfill its potential as truly transformative healing that honors both rigorous science and deep wisdom. The difference will be determined by whether we preserve and propagate the values that made this renaissance possible. The Shulgins showed us that breakthrough science and ethical community can go hand in hand. That careful research creates better outcomes than rushing. That treating consciousness with respect creates better healing. Your support ensures these principles guide psychedelic medicine's future—not just its past.
