There is no question but that psychedelics influence language, although the manner in which they do so is unclear (Amarel and Cheek, 1965). It is possible that they operate by increasing the associational content of speech (Cheek and Amarel, 1968). Language is, in fact, a very sensitive index of the effects of psychedelics (Cheek, 1963). In his paper, Kripp-ner tries to analyze the effects of psychedelics in terms of the afferent and efferent functions of speech, and deals with language on both a spoken and a written level. 

Just how many phenethylamines are there This is an ambiguous and unanswerable question. The more relevant question is how many psychedelic phenethylamines are there This is still not known, but the question that we can address, is how many potentially active phenethylamines are known, and what is their status The index on pages 453-457 lists 179 phenethylamines. However, study of the 179 "recipes" reveals that many of them describe more than one compound. Generally, under a single recipe, data will be presented on closely related materials. A list was made of all phenethylamines discussed in Book II, for which there was presented at least either the synthesis, or data on activity in humans, or a separate recipe (Table 1, at the end of this document). This exercise turned up 311 compounds.
