- 1886: Ernst Späth is born
Quote:
Ernst Späth (14 May 1886, in Moravský Beroun (German: Bärn), northern Moravia – 30 September 1946, in Zurich) was an Austrian chemist.
He was the first to synthesise Mescaline and was one of the first to synthesize cuscohygrine on a small scale with Hans Tuppy.
He lost everything in World War II, and died with no money. His former student Percy Lavon Julian returned to Vienna, paid for his funeral, and commissioned a bust of Späth, which is still displayed in the foyer of the Faculty of Chemistry of the University of Vienna. A second cast of the bust was erected in 1961 in the Arkadenhof of the University of Vienna.
Born May 14, 1886 Moravský Beroun, Moravia Died October 30, 1946 (aged 60) Zurich, Switzerland Nationality Austro-Hungarian, Austrian Fields chemist Doctoral students Percy Lavon Julian Known for synthesis Mescaline Notable awards Lieben Prize

Leo J. Zeff May 14, 1912 - April 13, 1988
Summary
Leo Zeff was a psychologist and pioneer in the psychedelic therapy movement. As a young man, Zeff was a Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S. Army. Later, after obtaining his PhD, he opened a private practice specializing in Jungian psychology. Eventually he discovered how effective psychedelics could be in helping heal his patients. When psychedelics were outlawed, Zeff went underground.
Using the pseudonym "Adam Fisher", Zeff is mentioned by Alexander and Ann Shulgin in their book PIHKAL. In 1977, at a point in his life when he was about to close down his Oakland-based practice, Zeff was turned on to MDMA by Alexander Shulgin. After trying the drug, he abandoned his retirement plans and traveled across the country introducing MDMA to other therapists. It has been speculated by one of his friends that Zeff was responsible for turning on around 4,000 other therapists to MDMA. Zeff is responsible for coining the term "Adam" for MDMA, as he felt that it stripped away the ego's defense mechanisms and returned the user to a primordial state of innocence.
Under the pseudonym "Jacob", Zeff's work is detailed in Myron J. Stolaroff's book The Secret Chief. Published in 1997, the book is based on a series of interviews that Myron and Jean Stolaroff did with Zeff in 1981. It describes the materials and methods that Zeff found to be of value, and provides numerous first-person accounts attesting to the value of psychedelic therapy. A second edition, published in 2004, reveals Zeff's real name for the first time, as his family felt that enough time had passed that there was no longer any risk to his past patients and associates due to drug prohibition laws.
By all accounts, Leo Zeff was a remarkable person, beloved by his friends, colleagues, and clients.

Dr. Leo Zeff was an American psychologist and psychotherapist in Oakland, California who pioneered the use of ecstasy (MDMA) and other psychoactive drugs in psychotherapy in the 1970s.
In 1977, when Alexander Shulgin introduced Zeff to MDMA, the drug was still legal. Zeff popularized it in the psychotherapeutic community,[1] dubbing it "Adam" because he believed it returned one to a state of primordial innocence.
Leo Zeff was introduced to LSD in 1961 when he was working as a Jungian therapist, and he developed a method for administering LSD to patients during psychotherapy.
Prior to working with psychedelics, Leo Zeff had been a Lieutenant Colonel in the US Army.

Dr. Zeff my friend, our friend you shared something with us that allows us to feel connected to each other on deeper levels. If there was such a thing as a happy pill this was it, synthetic love through chemistry with a little serotonin depletion, "gotta stop eating 10 beans in a 2day period every weekend if I want to beat this depression but I love to blow up on empathy" this was me in the early 90's with 5000 rolls of the real open wing white doves and no cares in the world. Thanks DR.ZEFF for making this possible.
