Rest in peace, Ann Shulgin, who co-authored the books "PiHKAL" and "TiKHAL" with her husband, psychedelic pioneer Alexander Shulgin.

I never was able to get my hands on either book due to regulations, but I was lucky enough to read them online at least.
Thank you for your inspired and impactful work, I hope you and Sasha have found happiness in your next life. RIP.
 
RIP Ann, When I got my copy of PIHKAL 1n 1995 I had just gone through a breakup with a girl who confused me. Well in the Love Story part of PIHKAL Ann did a good job picking apart Ursula's personality and it rang completely true of what I had just gone through. Totally helped me understand what I went through for a short period of time. (some people intuitively know people's needs and a personality could play that to their advantage and drama) Thank you Ann, I learned a lot.

Then the Chemical story, whew. It was 2006 before I even tasted an RC like 4-HO-MIPT and 2CT-2.

But yeah there are no words to describe the enormity of the good works these guys did for humanity. I may have been a total asshole if it had not been for them. lol They did save the world with their research.

I think that might be in PiHKaL but I have yet to finish TiHKaL.
I got Pihkal as an Xmas gift, my uncle told my mom what it was & I've never forgot how he warned her that I may be making very obscure substances. I still laugh over his stupidity to this day for saying that.

Still to this day my times on 4-HO-MET & 2C-B are my most favourite trips by far. The review for 3C-E (Escaline) is deeply filtered imho, the bodyload on that stuff is horrific & after 13 hours of tripping my body felt broken. My face turned into an "American Indian" when I looked in the mirror on that stuff, out of all the visual effects whilst tripping that one has stayed with me so much, it was a deeply profound experience in a way words cannot express.
