Stephen Szára
Stephen Szára is a Hungarian-born chemist and psychiatrist known for the first demonstration that N,N-dimethyltryptamine is psychoactive in humans. Refused a supply of LSD by the Sandoz laboratories, he synthesized DMT himself and, in Budapest in 1956, established its activity by intramuscular administration to a series of volunteers.[1] After leaving Hungary he continued tryptamine and psychedelic research in the United States.
