The shulgin index vol.1

Our objective in presenting this volume was to produce an encyclopedia about a particular

group of psychedelic drugs, the phenethylamines. Phenethylamines are drugs with

profound mind-altering properties that we find both fascinating and rewarding. It is our

conviction that the varied potency, duration, and character of these many compounds

should be explored further, so that they may be rated as to efficacy and safety, and

become practical tools in the work of medical professionals and lay therapists, as well

as in the hands of spiritual guides and seekers. Their potential is great, but with great

benefit, there also may be great risks. In order to lay a solid foundation based on known

biochemistry, pharmacology, and toxicology, we have explored the available literature on

chemical, medical, and legal aspects of the known psychedelics, and attempted to present

that information so that future practitioners have a concise source of information to guide

further work.
