The Shulgin phikal story seems to be an excellent example. From what I
can tell, Shulgin became a biochemist and started experimenting with
nootropics in the 1970s, meticulously recording experiences and results
starting with the smallest of dosages of each of his synthesized
compounds. Frankly, you have to be smart to not kill yourself.
Nootropical experimentalism is *not* for everyone.
