Shaahin Cheyene

Born in Iran, Shaahin Cheyene is an award winning entrepreneur, writer and filmmaker currently based in Los Angeles, California. In the early 1990′s while still in his teens, Cheyene spearheaded the “Smart Drug Movement” by inventing and branding the original Herbal Ecstacy and over 200 other award-winning products. Herbal Ecstacy became a global phenomenon selling millions of units all over the world. Cheyene later developed the first mass-market herbal cigarette brand: Ecstacy Cigarettes. It became the most successful herbal cigarette in the world with millions of units sold. Branded the “Willy Wonka of Generation X” Cheyene has been compared to such divergent entrepreneurs as Bill Gates and P.T. Barnum. In the early 2000’s Cheyene worked with several major pharmaceutical companies to bring the technologies and benefits of plant medicines to the mainstream. In this process Cheyene was responsible for the discovery and proliferation of several plant medicines. In 2000 Cheyene invented, patented and developed a revolutionary new medicine delivery technology with the Vapir Vaporizer, spearheading the then burgeoning vaporization industry. He also authored the definitive book on the science of Vaporization, “Vapor: The Art and Science of Inhaling Pure Plant Essences”. The Vapir Vaporizer continues to sell millions of units worldwide. Cheyene prepared Vapir for the public markets but subsequently sold it to a private investment group in Silicon Valley in 2006. Cheyene is currently the founder of a brain nutrition startup Accelerated Intelligence where he is positioning the company to be the leader in the brain nutrition space. Accelerated Intelligence plans to launch their first products in May of 2011 and is seeking investors for an initial round of financing.
