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.
Through PiHKAL (and later, TiHKAL) Shulgin sought to ensure that his discoveries would escape the limits of professional research labs and find their way to the public; a goal consistent with his stated beliefs that psychedelic drugs can be valuable tools for self-exploration.
In the United Kingdom, all of the drugs of PiHKAL are illegal.

 2C-T-7's Bad Trip
PIHKAL: A Chemical Love Story (the acronym stands for Phenethylamines I Have Known and Loved) was a unique book by any standard, weaving together lab procedure, highly personalized accounts of each compound's creation, and Sasha and Ann's own love story, as told in the alternating voices of two not-quite-fictional characters named Shura and Alice Borodin.
Even though PIHKAL begins with a warning that to synthesize any of its recipes for human consumption is to "risk legal action which might lead to the tragic ruination of a life," and even though more than half of the recipes were previously published in scientific journals, the authors could have faced legal action.
There is a passage in PIHKAL that seems to foreshadow the biggest question raised by 2C-T-7's transition from the lab to the dancefloor.

 A Structural Tour of PiHKAL   (Site not responding. Last check: )
In chemical nomenclature the "s" in "bis" means, to paraphrase from Shulgin in the ASB entry, that there are two somethings (ethoxys) attached to something (phenethylamine), rather than three whatevers (biescaline, two escalines).
PiHKAL lists metaescaline (ME) as 5-ethoxy-3,4-methoxyphenethylamine, however the sulfur analogues are listed with the ethylthio or ethoxy in the 3-position.
A number of substances in PiHKAL are derived from MDA with the addition of one or more methoxy groups.

 PIHKAL/TIHKAL
A primary aim of the investigations was to explore the relation between the molecular structure of these compounds and their psychoactivity, and their findings led to numerous research publications, including several in Nature.
This includes sections of autobiography, psychological observations on the use of psychedelics, mostly by Ann (who is a psychotherapist), political essays by Sasha, and descriptions of natural sources of psychedelic compounds.
As literature PIHKAL and TIHKAL are unusual for their hybridity.

 Reading - Psychotropic Chemistry   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Pihkal deserves the ETFRC's highest rating, and is a shining example of what genuine psychopharmacology is (lets not forget what the root of psycho is).
The companion book to PIHKAL, "Tryptamines I Have Known And Loved" describes the other half of the known psychedelics, those derived from tryptamines.
The great majority of, though by no means all, known psychedelics are either phenethylamines (the classic example being mescaline) or tryptamines (the classic example being LSD).

 2,5-Dimethoxy-4-methylamphetamine Summary
Ironically, DOM was originally manufactured in the hope of producing a shorter, less-intense trip than LSD, which, it was thought, might be more useful and manageable in producing a period of insight and self-reflection in psychotherapy.
DOM (or STP, allegedly standing for Serenity, Tranquillity and Peace) is a psychedelic hallucinogenic drug of the phenethylamine class of compounds, sometimes used as an entheogen.
DOM is classified as a Schedule 1 substance in the United States, and is similarly controlled in other parts of the world.

This is a fine contribution although 'The Continuation' might lead one to believe that both Pihkal and Tihkal are of the same sphere.
It is as though the authors said almost everything that needed to be said in PIHKAL and included this additional commentary to satisfy themselves rather than the reading audience.
This is the second book by the Shulgins which mix their autobiographies with the subjective effects of new and well-studied psychadelic drugs.

 escape media+photography - ecstacy doctor
Regaled as the godfather of Ecstasy, being its first real proponent, and a folk-hero of demigod proportions to the underground, Shulgin (known diminutively as Sasha to his friends) represents the beautiful wayward revolutionary in this war.
On the other side are plenty of people eager to discredit his work, in the name of the war on drugs.
When Shulgin published PiHKAL, he immediately came under harassment from the DEA and the EPA.

 Alexander Shulgin and 2C-T-7 ( and PIHKAL, TIHKAL and the DEA)
PIHKAL: A Chemical Love Story (the acronym stands for Phenethylamines I Have Known and Loved) was a unique book by any standard, weaving together lab procedure, highly personalized accounts of each compound's creation, and Sasha and Ann's own love story, as told in the alternating voices of two not-quite-fictional characters named Shura and Alice Borodin.
Alternately hailed as invaluable contributions to the scientific world or derided as cookbooks for amateur pharmacologists searching for a novel high, the massive tomes found a ready audience among establishment and underground chemists.
Even though PIHKAL begins with a warning that to synthesize any of its recipes for human consumption is to "risk legal action which might lead to the tragic ruination of a life," and even though more than half of the recipes were previously published in scientific journals, the authors could have faced legal action.

 Corante > Brain Waves > Monthly Archives
Sasha Shulgin is an old-fashioned scientist who synthesized scores of new hallucinogens (more precisely phenethylamines), and then systematically tried them on his dog, his himself, and a willing group of fellow scientists and explorers, who dutifully took notes and recorded the results of their controlled experiments.
Some of these efforts are recorded in PIHKAL, which is an acronym for Phenethylamines I Have Known and Loved.
In this era of de facto censorship, when people do not discuss drug use openly for fear of incarceration, it is deeply refreshing to hear someone reprise with truth.

PiHKAL describes the synthesis and systematic testing on human subjects of a range of novel or neglected phenethylamine research drugs.
PiHKAL also offers a uniquely sophisticated methodology for human psychopharmacology and the scientific study of mind as an experimental discipline.
By the early 1980s, over a thousand private psychotherapists in the USA were using MDMA in their clinical practice.

The best known texts in this field, including extensive syntheses of designer/analog drugs along with detailed reports of their CNS and/or psychoactive activity levels based on self-experimentation, are PIHKAL (Phenethylamines I Have Known And Loved) and TIHKAL (Tryptamines I Have Known And Loved) by Shulgin and Shulgin [1,2].
Additional encouragement occurred in late 2000, when the seizure of the world’s largest-ever lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) synthesis laboratory, and the disruption of its associated distribution network [3], resulted in a major decline in LSD supplies worldwide, and an elevated demand for alternate hallucinogens.
Due to their similarities, the FTIR spectra should be supplemented with another spectroscopic method for definitive identification.
