Daniel Trachsel


Daniel Trachsel is a Swiss chemist who studies psychedelics and entactogens. He has developed and published on a large number of novel psychedelic and entactogen compounds, including their psychoactive effects. This has been in a manner similar to that of the psychedelic chemist Alexander Shulgin, which has caused Trachsel to sometimes be referred to as the "German Shulgin". However, unlike Shulgin, Trachsel has distanced himself from any personal self-experiments.
According to Hamilton Morris and Nick Cozzi in mid-2023, Trachel's book Phenethylamine: von der Struktur zur Funktion is in the process of being translated into English. It is being translated by the Alexander Shulgin Research Institute, with tentative publication by Transform Press, and also independently by chemist David Carlson.
