I bought new copies of PiHKAL and TiHKAL when Shulgin passed away a couple years ago. Not reading for the faint of heart, but damn those 2 were dedicated to their science. Just knowing their lab was the shed in the back yard makes it a little more on the "whaaaaa?" side of things.

It was Hofmann wo first synthesized Psilocybin.

That’s not active orally if not combined with a MAO inhibitor (as in Ayahuasca)

DMT was quite niche back then and not substitutible for psilocybin as it’s not orally active. Much more likely to be a synthetic phenethylamine or tryptamine. Candidates back then would be DOM, DOI, etc.

Naw, that is a fuel additive for an automobile.

I make it a point to never drink fuel additives. I figure my car can use it better than me.

It was a bs street name made up by dealers to describe a long-lasting phenethylamine I think DOM.

Supposedly stood for “serenity, tranquility, peace”
