What people on Hacker News said
Shulgin's work is open source and the 2nd half of PiHKAL was my first exposure to open source code.
It's an autobiographic story from the creator of MDMA and 2C-B — an amazing account of scientific approach and original thinking — in addition to an amazing love story and the history of progressive-thinking Bay area
