Men will literally name a drug ecstasy instead of therapy. :melting_face:

It actually speaks to the two camps at the time. The drug was still legal in the US and advocates were either wanting to keep it on the down low and use it as a tool in therapy, or to produce/sell it in vast quantities so everyone could have some because it was SOOOOO GOOOOOOD. Michael Clegg wanted to make/sell lots of it but was not an experienced dealer/distributor of product so he didn’t get the marketing angle and the need for an attractive name. Whilst we’ve all probably had some incredibly therapeutic experiences on it, it likely wouldn’t have taken off in the same way with the name Therapy.

I wonder how the U.K. tabloids would have dealt with “Evil Therapy Barons destroying children’s futures”?

Wonder what Shulgin says in his books?

No for the record I wasn’t doubting you, I’m just surprised as I thought/assumed it was Shulgin that had a hand in naming it.

Wasn’t it originally known as something else when it was legal in California?

P.S. I gotta read that book :+1::ok_hand::joy:

This book is brilliant. Bought it ages ago and only just picked it up. Makes me want to dive into some Therapy, big time!

@Apiento how about a “Therapy will never sell” t-shirt?!

If you like stuff like this, read the Thumbprint story by chinacat. Mind blowing, literally…

That’s the one.

Having had pretty strong experiences with upwards of 450ug, I can’t imagine what a “thumbprint” would be like. Sounds crazy!

Being in that state for days/weeks?
