This is a list of psychedelic chemists, or of chemists who first identified, isolated, and/or synthesized specific psychedelic drugs or otherwise contributed to psychedelic chemistry:
Albert Hofmann – discovered LSD, isolated psilocybin from psilocybin-containing mushrooms and ergine (LSA) from morning glory, developed numerous lysergamides and some psilocybin analogues Alexander Shulgin – developed numerous psychedelic phenethylamines and tryptamines Alexander Shulgin Research Institute (ASRI; Nicholas V. Cozzi and Paul F. Daley) – developed ASR-2001 (2CB-5PrO) and ASR-3001 (5-MeO-iPALT), among others Anton Köllisch – synthesized MDMA Arthur Heffter – isolated mescaline from peyote Carina Leveriza-Franz – manufactured MDMA Carl Mannich – synthesized MDA Casey William Hardison – manufactured various psychedelics and studied 2C-T-7 Charles D. Nichols – developed certain medically intended psychedelics such as 2C-iBu Daniel Trachsel – developed numerous psychedelic phenethylamines Darrell Lemaire – studied 2C-D as a "smart drug" and developed the TWEETIO psychedelics David E. Nichols – developed numerous psychedelic phenethylamines, tryptamines, and lysergamides David E. Olson – founder of Delix Therapeutics, developed various psychedelic-related drugs such as tabernanthalog, zalsupindole, and JRT David Repke – developed numerous psychedelic tryptamines Ernst Späth – synthesized mescaline Gordon Alles – discovered the effects of MDA (the first synthetic psychedelic) and other work Hamilton Morris – developed various psychedelics Jason Wallach – developed various psychedelics Lizard Labs (Alexander Stratford) – developed numerous LSD prodrugs such as 1P-LSD and 1V-LSD Louis Lewin – attempted to isolate mescaline from peyote M. Mueller – described the properties and effects of 2C-EF and 2C-iBu in humans and disclosed them via Alexander Shulgin Matthew J. Baggott – founder of Tactogen, developed novel entactogens and psychedelics Nicholas Sand – manufactured LSD and DMT Oswaldo Gonçalves de Lima – isolated DMT Otakar Leminger – developed escaline, proscaline, allylescaline, and MEPEA among others Owsley Stanley – manufactured LSD and DOM (STP) P. Rausch – developed various psychedelic phenethylamines and disclosed many of them via Daniel Trachsel Peyton Jacob III – worked with Alexander Shulgin developing psychedelics Ralf Heim – developed 25I-NBOMe and other psychedelic N-benzylphenethylamines Richard Glennon – developed numerous psychedelic phenethylamines and tryptamines Richard Manske – synthesized DMT and identified and synthesized harmine and harmaline Robert Oberlender – a student in the lab of David E. Nichols who developed and studied various psychedelics and entactogens Stephen Szára – discovered the effects of DMT, developed various psychedelic DMT analogues Tim Scully – manufactured LSD Toshio Hoshino – synthesized bufotenin and 5-MeO-DMT William Leonard Pickard – manufactured LSD and tested other psychedelics like 5-fluoro-AMT, 6-fluoro-AMT, and likely LSZ Willy Myco – makes videos on how to make psychedelic drugs such as LSD
