      Used Very Good(1 Copy): Very Good Used 978 pages. Clean, crisp copy with light scuff along edges. Beginning of book is autobiographical. In the first two parts, the characters describe the individual life paths which led each of them to a fascination with psychedelics and, ultimately, to their fascination with each other...a marvelous glimpse of altered states of consciousness. Characers chronicle more than a decade of their adventures together, journeys often catalyzed by the ingestion of one of their new chemical compounds. Part of the book is an almost encyclopedic compendium of synthetic methods, dosages, durations of action, and commentaries for 179 different chemical materials.

      New: New 0963009605 New. No dust jacket as issued. Brand New! Support Radical Independent Pacific Northwest Booksellers! Trade paperback (US). Glued binding. 978 p. Audience: General/trade. PiHKAL is a 1991 book by Dr. Alexander Shulgin and Ann Shulgin about psychedelic phenethylamines. full title of the book is Phenethylamines i Have Known And Loved: A Chemical Love Story. book is arranged in two parts. first part is a fictionalized autobiography of the couple. second part contains detailed synthesis instructions for over 200 psychedelic compounds (most of which Shulgin personally invented), including dosages, subjective experiences, and other commentary. Shulgin's choices of synthesis procedures in the second half of the book are themselves perhaps a small act of subversion: While the reactions are beyond the ability of people with no chemistry education[citation needed], they tend to emphasize techniques that do not require difficult to obtain chemicals. Notable among these are the use of mercury-aluminum amalgam (an unusual but easy to obtain reagent) as a reducing agent and detailed suggestions on legal plant sources of important drug precursors such as safrole.
