PiHKAL

PiHKAL is a 1991 book written by Dr Alexander Shulgin and Ann Shulgin about phenethylamines.

The full title of the book is Phenethylamines I Have Known And Loved: A Chemical Love Story (ISBN 0963009605). The book is widely regarded as a pioneering and much respected work on the subject.

The book is arranged in two parts. The first part is a fictionalized autobiography of Alexander Shulgin (named Shura Borodin in the book) and his wife Ann (named Alice). It details Alice's love interest in Shura, as well as Shura's interest in psychedelic compounds, and some of their more memorable experiences with these substances. The second part contains very technical detailed synthesis instructions for over 200 psychedelic compounds, including dosages, subjective experiences, and other commentary.

The second part of PiHKAL is available as both paper and html through Erowid.
