- 1912: Merck Pharmaceuticals files to patent MDMA
Quote:
Dec 24, 1912 MDMA patented by Merck Pharmaceuticals in Germany.
It is believed that Merck never went on to use MDMA for any purpose.
After World War I, Merck's US unit was confiscated. The company most people know today as Merck is no longer affiliated with Merck (KGaA) of Germany. However at the time of the original MDMA patent, Merck was a single company.

- 1955: Aldous Huxley takes LSD for the first time
Quote:
On Christmas Eve 1955, he took his first dose of LSD, an experience he was to repeat often and he claimed allowed him to plumb even greater depths than mescaline. The literary culmination of this self-medication can be seen in Island, the 1962 novel, which can be viewed as an answer to Brave New World. It describes a utopia rather than a dystopia, and this time around drugs perform an entirely beneficial function, providing serenity and understanding. They are as the book puts it, "medicine".

Today is the 100th anniversary of Merck's patent of MDMA. MDMA is 100 years old this year. Unfortunately, I have no idea exactly when in 1912 that it was synthesized. This is the only milestone associated with the birth of MDMA that I know of. I don't really have a good video to go along with this milestone either, so watch 'Ecstasy Rising', which is the best MDMA documentary made thus far.

Had to sign in to YouTube to watch. REALLY good to see Shulgin alive and talking (RIP, Alexander). I've never had Extacy/MDMA - but this video (for the first time ever) made me want to try it. I'm sure that'll never happen as I know of no trusted source for the real deal - but who knows what the future holds...
