Ann Shulgin

Ann Shulgin (1931–2022) co-founded Transform Press in 1991 with her husband, Alexander ‘Sasha’ Shulgin, out of their shared passion and commitment to an uncensored examination of psychoactive compounds. Together they co-authored PiHKAL: A Chemical Love Story (1991) and TiHKAL: The Continuation (1997), and led discussion groups on psychedelics and psychopharmacology for many years. Ann also played an integral role in The Nature of Drugs, helping record Sasha’s landmark lecture series and contributing to the editing of all three volumes — a testament to their enduring collaborative legacy.
