Fascinating and lovingly narrated

Was introduced to the work of ‘Sasha' Shulgin via The Hamilton Morris podcasts.

As a lay-person the subject matter could be overwhelming, however, although some parts were complex I found the delivery for the most part accessible. Sasha delivers a fascinating explaination of the how the human body works and how drugs (his definition is extremely broad) are processed and where applicable metabolised. It was good to better understand how complex pharmacology is from a physiological point of view - actually getting compounds to where they need to be, in the right form.

The book is delivered as a series of lectures, which allows for some of Sasha's style and humour to show through. Critically Fred Sanders cleared loved Sasha and Ann deeply which helps him delivers the work with warmth, knowledge and passion.
