JWJW: The personal experiences are a great read if wondering how chemicals can affect your mind.p. Part 2 is very specific on how to make all those chemicals with little to no experience.

Austin Talavera: I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in psychopharmacology and or psychoactive substances. The first 450 some pages is a beautiful story about the lives of the author and as his wife, how they became intertwined, and their spiritual evolution’s alongside their detailed psychedelic experiences over the years. There is romance, conflict, some drama, adventure, and wisdom throughout the story. The next 400 pages or so read like a medicinal chemist’s laboratory experiments and notes. You don’t need an in depth knowledge of chemistry to read and understand the book, but I’m sure people with a background in chemistry would absolutely love the second half. This book is a hidden treasure and no library of psychedelic literature is complete without it.

Amazon Customer: This book contained so much more than I realized, and now I understand why so many people speak of it like it is a tome full of wonder, inspiration, & imagination. We could all learn much from this book, and we should all learn from this book. Ann's writing was absolute wonderful and captivating, and Sasha's genius exudes from every paragraph that he wrote.

Both of their writings have been a guiding light in my life, and I do hope it will be in yours as well.

Hugh: This is an iconic book, the original of the two, and a must for any person interested in this topic
. Special to have this as a physical copy, worth it over a PDF. Came in fairly decant condition packaging shipping quality for a paperback of this size that's so easily crushed when shipped. Buy this book if you like sulgins works. Loaded with information as is also a collectable iconic piece of art

Ciaran: No. A chemical opus, perhaps. A masterpiece from a man who was adept with a conical flask as Michaelangelo was with a paintbrush, or Da Vinci with charcoal. Many may disagree but anyone who can who can discover, document and wax poetic about the subtle nuances of the effects of moving around an isomer or two...well, they must be unique to say the least. Sasha and his wife Ann were just that - a very special couple whose love exudes from their interactions, joined together in their mutual appreciation for psychedelics. Part memoir, part lab journal, Pihkal is an interesting read even for someone such as myself with only a minor interest in the science behind the experiences.

We've been taught that psychedelics are psychosis-inducing compounds, highly addictive, terribly dangerous and ultimately will lead to the breakdown of society. The Shulgins, after DECADES of psychedelic use, are highly intelligent and very loving people with not a hint of psychological problems. In fact, after very sadly passing away at the ripe old age of 88, Sasha surpassed the average life expectancy for a western man by a good couple of years. Hardly the story of the drug-crazed addict dying alone...
