Thank you for sharing some of your story. It's really wild to imagine a time where Shulgin's 'dirty pictures' were still legal and could be easily ordered.

By the time I got round to PiKHAL and TiKHAL everything was scheduled.

Personally, I disagree with the notion that "it doesn't matter" when reflecting on life. However, I understand the tremendous importance of being able to let go of things and the freedom that comes with that.
