PT497 Wendy Tucker Reflections from Shulgin Farm: Psychedelics, Legacy, and the Spirit of Discovery
In this episode, released on Ann Shulgin\u2019s birthday, Joe interviews Wendy Tucker: daughter of Ann and stepdaughter to Alexander \u201cSasha\u201d Shulgin.
Recorded in Sasha\u2019s old office, she recounts her formative years, giving an insider\u2019s look into her Mother\u2019s openness about psychedelics, working with Sasha in the lab, how the Shulgins made a perfect team, and watching a close-knit circle of self-experimenters start to form at Shulgin Farm \u2013 and keep coming back over the years.
She talks about the energy infused into the property from the decades of research and gatherings, and how she is trying to preserve it \u2013 not just to capture its history and the pioneering research that happened there, but as a beacon for future generations. She imagines weddings, conferences, other communal gatherings, and more. Imagine taking a chemistry course in Sasha Shulgin\u2019s lab?
