PiHKAL: A Chemical Love Story is a book. The subject of the work is psychoactive. Notably those that act as psychedelics. The main title, PiHKAL, is an acronym. That stands for "Phenethylamines I Have Known And Loved". The book is arranged into two parts, the first part being a fictionalized autobiography of the couple and the second part describing 179 different psychedelic compounds (most of which Shulgin discovered himself), including detailed synthesis instructions, bioassays. The second part was made freely available by Shulgin on Erowid. While the first part is available only in the printed text. While the reactions described are beyond the ability of people with a basic chemistry education, some tend to emphasize techniques that do not require difficult-to-obtain chemicals. Notable among these are the use of mercury-aluminum amalgam. An unusual but easy to obtain reagent. And detailed suggestions on legal plant sources of important drug precursors such as safrole.
