In this episode I speak with a chemist named Tarik Peterson who authored an unusually sophisticated clandestine chemistry manual in 1970 and conducted self-experiments with a variety of different psychedelics he synthesized including DMT, DET, pyr-T, aMT, 5-MeO-DMT, mescaline, MDA, PMA, TMA, TMA-2, and TMA-6
