TiHKAL: The Continuation, also known as Tryptamines I Have Known and Loved, is a 1997 book written by Alexander Shulgin and Ann Shulgin. It is about a family of psychoactive drugs known as tryptamines, which includes psychedelics, other hallucinogens, and entactogens.

Response

As with PiHKAL, the Shulgins were motivated to release the synthesis information as a way to protect the public's access to information about psychedelic compounds, a goal Alexander Shulgin has noted many times. Following a raid of his laboratory in 1994 by the United States DEA, Richard Meyer, spokesman for DEA's San Francisco Field Division, stated that "It is our opinion that those books [referring to the previous work, PiHKAL] are pretty much cookbooks on how to make ‘controlled drugs’. Agents tell me that in clandestine labs that they have raided, they have found copies of those books."

Notable compounds

Some compounds in TiHKAL, including dimethyltryptamine (DMT), psilocybin (4-PO-DMT), psilocin (4-HO-DMT), bufotenin (5-HO-DMT), 5-MeO-DMT, α-methyltryptamine (AMT), lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), harmaline, and ibogaine, are widely known and/or used hallucinogens.

In addition to TiHKAL, Shulgin has also described the properties of psychedelic tryptamines in humans in literature reviews.
