I laughed out loud.
For those unaware, "Phenethylamines I Have Known and Loved" (aka PiHKAL) is Sasha and Ann Shulgin's book that is half semi-fictional autobiography and half detailed synthesis and in-vivo effects observed in the enormous family of psychoactive phenethylamines. The autobiography part is only available in print, but the chemistry section is freely available[0].
There is a sequel, a similar book for tryptamines called TiHKAL[1].
They are stunningly bold in their chemistry, administration and discovery of novel drugs, and in making good science available under dubiously legal circumstances.
