Page "PiHKAL" Paragraph 5

Through PiHKAL ( and later TiHKAL ), Shulgin sought to ensure that his discoveries would escape the limits of professional research labs and find their way to the public ; a goal consistent with his stated beliefs that psychedelic drugs can be valuable tools for self-exploration.

The MDMA (" ecstasy ") synthesis published in PiHKAL remains one of the most common clandestine methods of its manufacture to this day.

Many countries have banned the major substances for which this book gives directions for synthesis, such as 2C-B, 2C-T-2, and 2C-T-7.

In the United Kingdom, all but MDOH and phenethylamine are illegal.
