The Changing of Things with a Chain and a Ring:
‘Phenethylamine Fantasies’
What occurred in these walls
in those halcyon days,
w’the Old Masters tech-
niques in their prime?
Beethoven blasting, as
the years went on passing
with the music helping
the atoms keep time.
As beta-nitrostyrenes were
reduced in his daydreams,
(the novelty growing with
white hairs on his head);
The Phenethyl fantasies of
his nocturnal chemistries
progressing as he lay in his bed.
Once he’d lost alpha’s methyl,
(which’d made the chain ethyl),
these changes and a hundred or more!
At C4 a chlorine, a bromine or fluorine,
in a flash placed a thiol at four.
With this a new series!
ALEPH-like but two Cs
These ideas become pages
in a tome called Pihkal.
2,5-substitutions?
Had a simple solution
The hillside Hierophantes
first methoxy ‘em all, as
Each refluxing reaction
and condensing contraption
yielt his triple-neck gifts
borne of round-bottom flasks.

Only Friends are Real
Embrace Shulgin-ness
DON’T SCARE THE HORSES
DO BETTER!
