Upcoming Events

For those of you who couldn't make our last cactus grafting workshop, come join us on Sunday, October 25, from 1-5PM, at the historic Shulgin Farm for a workshop led by Dr. Paul Daley and Bo Xu.

This educational and practical workshop will explore:

• Cactus Grafting Techniques: Learn how to graft Trichocereus cacti, an essential propagation method for improving growth rates in rare and desirable specimens. This session will include a hands-on tutorial covering practical techniques to ensure successful unions. No prior cactus cultivation experience is required.
• Plant Alkaloid Extraction (Non-Cactus): A demonstration of safe methods for extracting legal alkaloids from plant material, offering an introduction to the fascinating chemical properties of plants.

Participants will receive a grafted cactus cutting planted in a small pot to care for and nurture at home.

This is the last class of our 3-part online series this year. Paul Daley will begin this class with a history sketch for 30-45 min followed by sections on the main methods for synthesis of each compound class. This last class will address the chemistry of tryptamines.

Our first class covered phenethylamines and the second class was around lysergamides. This conversation will include a Q&A portion at the end.

You are invited to join this class regardless if you were able to attend the other two classes. This session will be recorded and sent out to registered attendees shortly after the class.

Tickets for this event are available at three tiers: basic admission for $30, supporter for $45, and abundant for $60, with all proceeds supporting the ongoing maintenance and preservation of Shulgin Farm, a historic hub for psychedelic chemistry and innovation.
