PIHKAL, a Chemical Love Story

PIHKAL stands for 'Phenethylamines I Have Known And Loved'. In 'Pihkal, a chemical love story' Ann and Alexander Shulgin describe their brave search for new psychoactive substances. The first part is a compelling novel full of stories, wisdoms of life and yes … romance. In the second part all newly discovered psychoactive substances are described again complete with chemical synthesize methods for the chemistry fanatics.

"This courages and compelling book… provides a marvelous glimpse of altered states of consciousness and a unique opportunity to become acquainted with two exceptional lovers and fearless psychonauts. If phenethylamines become as important in the future as I believe they will, this book will be seen as a treasure-trove of historic importance."
Lester Grinspoon, M.D., Professor of Psychiatry, Harvard University.

“This book contains what you need to know if you're highly interested in psychedelic sythesis and alternative states of consciousness,so I can highly recommend this book.Well,you have to read it yourselves.Part two of the book contains the synthesis methods of 179 different substances and if you know something about chemistry,that might be useful if you're inclined to make your own experiences on that terrain.So buy it,read it and enjoy it.”
