Trade Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. First Edition Seventh Printing Stated. 804 Pages. Light speckling on bottom page edges and front cover shows very minor wear. Interior text pages bright, tight, and white. Book I: The Story Continues. This is the continuation of the love story from PIHKAL: A Chemical Love Story with a blen…d of travel, botanical facts, scientific speculation, psychological and political commentary. Book II: The Chemistry Continues. Describes in detail a wealth of tryptamines in the same format as Book II of PIHKAL, plus appendices presenting topics such as cactus alkaloids, natural beta-carbolines, current drug law, and all known tryptamines (from the literature) that might be psychedelic. The title stands for "Tryptamines I Have Known and Loved"; sequel to "Phenethylamines I Have Known and Loved." Cookbooks, and far more -- accounts of a ruthless government's demented suppression of the God-given right of Americans to voluntarily explore their own consciousness. Alexander "Sasha" Shulgin, godfather of modern psychedelics, introduced 2C-B and DOM, and rediscovered and reintroduced MDMA. Of his first experience with mescaline sulfate, he wrote in 2001: "More than anything else the world amazed me, in that I saw it as I had when I was a child. I had forgotten the beauty and the magic and the knowingness of it and me. I was in familiar territory, a space wherein I had once roamed as an immortal explorer, and I was recalling everything that had been authentically known to me then, and which I had abandoned, then forgotten, with my coming of age. Like the touchstone that recalls a dream to sudden presence, the experience reaffirmed a miracle of excitement that I had known in my childhood but had been pressured to forget. The most compelling insight of that day was that this awesome recall had been brought about by a fraction of a gram of white solid, but that in no way whatsoever could it be argued that these memories had been contained within the white solid. Everything that I had recognized had come from the depths of my memory and my psyche. I understood that our entire universe is contained in the mind and the spirit. We may choose not to find access to it, we may even deny its existence, but it is indeed there inside us, and there are chemicals that can catalyze its availability.
