TIHKAL: The Continuation
Sinopsis :
TiHKAL: The Continuation is the sequel to PiHKAL: A
Chemical Love Story but can stand alone to any reader.
Where PiHKAL focuses on a class of compounds called
phenethylamines, TiHKAL is written about a family of
psychoactive drugs known as tryptamines with TiHKAL being
an acronym for Tryptamines I Have Known and Loved&#8221
Like its predecessor PiHKAL, it is divided into two parts. The
first part of the book begins with the story of Alice and Shura, a
fictionalized autobiography, which picks up where the similar
section of PiHKAL left off. The book opens with the story about
the DEA raid that occurred a few years after the publication of
their first book, PiHKAL. It&#8217a window into the DEA, the
institutional aspect and human side of it as well, and the price

that Shura and Alice pay for doing what they do, including
exercising their first amendment rights. It then continues with a
collection of essays on topics ranging from psychotherapy and
the Jungian mind, to the prevalence of DMT in nature,
ayahuasca, the War on Drugs, and even the Big Bang. It is a
blend of travel, botanical facts, scientific speculation,
psychological and political commentary. It is fascinating getting
to know the mind of the man behind the compounds - his
thoughts on science, technology, law, and society. And the
mind of the woman who brought his work and their story into
the light of the world. The second part of TiHKAL is
&#8220ThChemistry Continues&#8221 It is a detailed manual
for 55 psychedelic compounds (many discovered by Shulgin
himself). For each compound there is information on synthesis,
effective dosage, duration of effects, and commentary on the
subjective effects that were experienced. The Shulgins' two big
books span autobiography, organic chemistry, politics,
ethnobotany and psychopharmacology and the cultural impact
of these works has been profound and will continue to be so in
the future.
