Phenethylamines are fascinating organic compounds and I have a great deal of respect for them.
First, they share the same chemical structure as some of the neurotrasmitters that make us tick: dopamine, adrenaline and noradrenaline among others.
I have taken some of those mentioned in PIHKAL during my experimentation years, mostly MDMA and 2C-I and they taught me a lot about how my brain works and the power of psychedelics when used with care and responsibly. I can't wait for the day when science finds a way to leverage their capacity for deep introspection in psychotherapy and to manage mental pain. I know MDMA was previously used in couples therapy and and now in helping with PTSD.
Lastly, I've recently been diagnosed with ADHD and I'm trialling dexamphetamine, yet another phenethylamine, and it's been life changing the effect it's having on me.

Phenethylamines are pretty cool.
