Darrell Lemaire (August 28, 1926 – January 2019) was an American mining engineer and psychedelic drug researcher.[1]
Lemaire was born in Reno, Nevada on August 28, 1926.[2] He died from cancer in January 2019, at the age of 92.[3]
Lemaire spent two years in the U.S. Navy (1944–46). He then earned a B.S. in chemistry from the University of Nevada in 1950, followed by his master's in metallurgical engineering from Mackay School of Mines (1954). While working at a Uranium processing plant in Arizona, working closely with Navajo natives, Lemaire discovered peyote, and became intensely interested in manufacturing and testing a variety of psychoactive substances. Lemaire used pseudonyms "Hosteen Nez" and "Lazar" in order to publish a pamphlet on some of his findings regarding 2C-D.[4]
Lemaire has also done work involving the use of gumweed as a potential biofuel in conjunction with individuals at the University of Nevada.
