Wendy Tucker, daughter of Ann Shulgin and owner of Transform Press was recently featured in an interview with Tricycle Day about the campaign to preserve the Shulgin Farm as well as reflecting on what it was like to grow up together with Sasha and Ann.

Speaking of how Sasha influenced her understanding of psychoactive substances she shared, “Joining the Shulgin family shifted my perception of psychedelics from things you’d take recreationally with friends, to tools that could be used intentionally within a container. Hearing about the research group, the reports they wrote, and their scientific approach was fascinating. I got to see that there's something about working with these compounds in a conscientious way that felt really good and different.”
