Ah, "Sasha" aka "Alexander" Shulgin, who died in 2014. His obituary [1] is worth a read. The book Phenethylamines I Have Known And Loved: A Chemical Love Story by Alexander and Ann Shulgin, his wife, documents their experiences with lots of drugs, and at various dosages, that he created. The book also contains instructions for synthesis etc. It's still in print, and a version of the second part - dealing with the chemicals, but not the experiences - is freely available online at [2].
EDITED to amend the above to clarify that link [2] contains only the second part of the book, and to add that the full book can be downloaded via [3]. FURTHER edited to add download links from Z-library [4].

- mtlmtlmtlmtl 4y agoThey also wrote an equivalent book on tryptamines. Same name and url except p -> t. Another note: IIRC, I believe it wasn't just Shulgin and his wife who tested the drugs, but also a small group of friends that he'd give samples. Cheers.
