And by the way, if you're interested in the story of Alexander Shulgin and the drugs he synthesized, as well as the group he built to take these drugs and try them—who had several members using these drugs in therapy with their patients for a long time, both before and after MDMA became illegal—there's a wonderful book called Pihkal, which.

Why people recommend it
PiHKAL: A Chemical Love Story by Alexander Theodore Shulgin and Ann Shulgin is a unique autobiographical and scientific text that details the history, synthesis methods, and personal trials of numerous psychoactive compounds, most notably MDMA. The book received significant attention on both the Huberman Lab podcast and The Tim Ferriss Show. Andrew Huberman recommended the volume during an episode focused on the therapeutic uses of MDMA, pointing listeners to its thorough chronicle of Alexander Shulgin's discoveries and the research community that formed around testing these substances both before and after they were made illegal. Tim Ferriss similarly recommended the book, alongside its companion volume TiHKAL, during a conversation with Dr. Gül Dölen, praising Shulgin as an extraordinarily prolific and adept biochemist whose collaborative work with his wife remains vital for understanding modern psychedelic science. Additionally, author Ben Westhoff discussed the publications on The Joe Rogan Experience, describing them as essential reference materials that function similarly to detailed cookbooks containing instructions for creating various psychedelics. Across these podcasts, the book was recognized both as a compelling historical narrative of scientific exploration and as an important foundational text for researchers investigating the therapeutic potential of mind-altering substances.
