    Welcome Guest!

What is wrong with the MDMA available today? - v2

Ik kon dat niet volgen. Probeer het misschien in je moedertaal te schrijven en gebruik Google Translate om de betekenis voor ons te vertalen.
(I could not follow that. Perhaps try writing it in your native language and use Google Translate to translate the meaning for us.)

It's easy to criticize and blame the U.S. as if every American is the exact same fat, lazy stereotype lacking in grace, style, couth and knowledge, but there are 330 million Americans spread across a gigantic swatch of land stretching from ocean to ocean and the people run the gamut of every walk of life. EDIT: Also, candyflipping is a wonderful drug combination. Don't knock it until you try it. But to each their own.

EDIT 2: Sorry, I wasn't trying to be disrespectful earlier, I just couldn't follow what you were saying. I'm not sure what LTC is, but I think I get what you're saying. Only thing is: I believe you're making a broad sweeping and incorrect stereotype regarding drugs in the US as if they're all tainted and only the Netherlands has pure shit. After all, where was MDMA first

Not blaming just theorising while summarising info from the LTC thread.
People i know who took monster amount s of drugs ao MDMA.

Which is indeed almost att always MDMA only, in NL.
Besides the seldom MDA/ MDEA adulterants.
And rarely a bad pill like PMMA.
Or while legal sold as is MTA/ in UK turned into flatliners.

NO METH here, never Amphetamine or Caffeine/ Ketamine added.

Made me wonder are Americans super sensitive,
or do they just take tainted MDMA.
Causing LTC [Long Term Comedown]. Unheard of in the EU afaik.
NL has free testing at least 20 years, Correct when wrong.

Fact i look down on Dutch, more even on special parts.
Myself and the US gives the impression: big fart.
My opinion i feel sorry for people living there,
if that is critical or blaming in you eyes. Fine, so be it.

And bit weird that a native English can t decipher his own language,
when written by a non native, while a non native can !
Decipher natives and non natives.

Indeed when i still took MDMA, and had that once in life time blot appear,
drop Acid wait til it starts and the add MDMA, the other way FlipCandy.
I would recommend to beginners, or people with anxiety and those from the US.

Jokie that last, one thing sure though Candyflip is not Flipcandy,
its a few steps beyond in that order, but the total chaos experience was nice.

Flipcandy, is when your afraid to take Acid,
but find a MDMA come down during a upcoming LSD trip accepatable :unsure:

But claiming downsizing. watch my disturbing film reviews,
my favourites, i try not to post TIER trash,
Don t know if the OP is US. but he or she has a shit-list
i won t dare too watch, btw he or she does.

Mine has a few US movies a Scandinavian too.
Sorry to lazy to look it up but as 1/ 4 Danish know it was not Danish.

But fucking disturbingly good as all the movies i posted.
So assuming that some looks down Apon whoever, sort of accusing.

Its in your mind through wrong interpretation. Whatever. Amen. So be it.
Just as long as your well ed and not out on the street.

Namaste
 
I note that the perfectly legal 1-(1-benzofuran-5-yl)propan-2-one and 1-(1-benzofuran-6-yl)propan-2-one are now commercially available. Now the thing is, a chemist only has to slightly adjust their calculation (for the weight ot said precursor replacing MDP2P) and they can in essence just use them in exactly the same way. The diference being that the product would be 5-MAPB or 6-MAPB depending on which one they obtain. I'm quite surprised but it seems that apart from the unsubstituted P2P and MDP2P, they are all legal to buy, sell and produce.

There is also a rather spiffing way to avoid the need for the difficult to obtain and legally controlled methylamine. One just adds nitromethane. If one seeks the primary amine, ammonium formate works.

So is it maybe the case that the benzofurans are turning up in place of MDMA?

I don't get on with stimulants so I can only comment on what is commercially available.

The Long-Term Comedown thread does not sound like an unbiased discussion group, FWIW.

Which is indeed almost att always MDMA only, in NL. Besides the seldom MDA/ MDEA adulterants.
Yeah so the Netherlands places a heavy importance on the concept of harm reduction, and as you pointed-out, provide safety services such as pill testing and have for the past couple decades. I applaud your country's government for this approach and for their embrace of bicycles. At the same time, let's not disregard the fact that transnational criminal organizations have increasingly started operating inside the NL forming the beginnings of what has been described as a narco-state, with connections to Asian crime syndicates, Mexican drug-running cartels and other TCOs. So let's not fellate ourselves too heavily just yet.

And rarely a bad pill like PMMA.
Funny enough, PMMA and PMA—when represented honestly and not as "ecstasy", "MDMA", or "molly", but as "PMMA" or "PMA" and when dosed in the proper, safe range—is a really kickass drug that I've used a few times and had excellent experiences each time, but I also realize it has a steep incline into toxicity and it can be lethal when taken to a relatively small threshold overdose amount. MDMA/MDA have way better safety profiles.

NO METH here,
That's not what I hear. I understand meth is taking off in EU & Australia. And besides let's please not pretend that amphetamine paste ("speed") is a harmless compound…

never Amphetamine or Caffeine/ Ketamine added.
Never? Are you sure of that? Sounds like an absolute. I seem to remember seeing pill reports from Amsterdam, the Hague and/or Rotterdam, involving some pills w/caffeine. It boosts MDMA's effects, both good and bad but it's mad common along with MDMA. However, perusing a few pill reports, all the recovered MDMA from NL seems to be just MDMA recently. It is the MDMA producing capital after all, and I have no doubt the M is bangin' there. But so too do I procure pure MDMA in the U.S., FWIW

Made me wonder are Americans super sensitive, or do they just take tainted MDMA.
Makes me wonder: do all Dutch people tend to stereotype this much, painting with broad strokes, so to speak, or was that just Johannes Vermeer?

I think you're making some false assumptions and jumping to conclusions perhaps.

Causing LTC [Long Term Comedown]. Unheard of in the EU afaik.
I'm not so sure about that one. I seem to remember reading a EUDA paper talking about "hallucinogen persisting perception disorder (HPPD)" in Europe. Maybe it doesn't affect the NL; after all, with a more reasonable approach to drugs in general focusing on harm reduction not criminalization, it wouldn't surprise me if there are fewer incidents that result from persistent drug abuse.

Fact i look down on Dutch, more even on special parts.
"Special parts"? Is that a metaphor for something? Lol

Myself and the US gives the impression: big fart.
Did you just soil yourself? :LOL: Not sure what's meant by this, but I don't think this expression translates 100%.

My opinion i feel sorry for people living there,
Americans? Psssh. Listen: don't. Again, it's not a one-size fits all kinda thing. Americans are bitterly divided over many issues: gun rights, abortion rights, gay rights, trans rights, states' rights, corporate rights, copyrights, immigrant rights, etc. In the last election, ~78 million Americans voted for Trump while ~73 million voted for Kamala Harris. Our liberals look like the conservative parties of Europe while our conservatives look like unhinged, gun-toting, gator wranglin', stars and stripes-wearing, fat hillbillies obsessed with mindless violence and a weird, brutal-yet-boring sport perversely called "football" for no goddamn good reason. And meanwhile our government lords itself over the other nations as much as possible with U.S. currency being the international currency standard. This hegemony is largely from the opportunistic cherry-picking manner in which the U.S. entered WWII and through several strokes of good luck and deceptive American guile coupled with mid-20th century Japanese nationalism. This all led to war profiteering in dividing up the spoils with the war-torn "Allied Powers" of Europe. The U.S. came out as a world superpower and the gov. flexes that muscle in nuclear might and Naval intimidation. It also spread its prohibition disease all over the planet with Harry Anslinger as the ambassador of this horrible plague.

But don't feel sorry for us. We actually hate each other enough in this country and neither need nor deserve pity. Not yet anyway. We'll be alright.

if that is critical or blaming in you eyes. Fine, so be it.
Well it's overly critical as a side-effect of inaccurate stereotypes is my point. There's plenty of valid points to criticize though, quod erat demonstrandum.

And bit weird that a native English can t decipher his own language, when written by a non native, while a non native can ! Decipher natives and non natives.
Uh huh. Me no talk good.

“There's only two types of people in this world I can't stand: those who are intolerant of other people's culture, and the Dutch.”
– Nigel Powers

(That's a swipe at me, not at you. I'm actually part Dutch myself anyway.)

I didn't know the acronym you were referring to initially, having never heard that exact term until today. Sounds like something the Dutch might make up ;)

Indeed when i still took MDMA, and had that once in life time blot appear, drop Acid wait til it starts and the add MDMA, the other way FlipCandy. I would recommend to beginners, or people with anxiety and those from the US.
Lol! Dat is grappig.

The reason I suggest people take MDMA first and then ride that into LSD has a lot to do with the advice of Dr. Alexander Shulgin who called this method "piggybacking". I find the reverse of that—I guess what you're calling a candyflip and I've never heard this term flipcandy; to me that's just candyflipping in the wrong order—causes both drugs to step on each other's feet, so to speak. And there's also dosing both drugs simultaneously, which is sometimes called "trolling" as a portmanteau of "tripping" and "rolling".

one thing sure though Candyflip is not Flipcandy,
I think you have the order backward, but whatever, I more or less agree.

Flipcandy, is when your afraid to take Acid,
but find a MDMA come down during a upcoming LSD trip accepatable :unsure:
Me? Afraid of acid? Never that. Yeah right. I invented eating acid. People would just stare at it until I came along and said, "watch this" and downed a ten strip of white fluff. Huzzah!
 
I note that the perfectly legal 1-(1-benzofuran-5-yl)propan-2-one and 1-(1-benzofuran-6-yl)propan-2-one are now commercially available.
"Perfectly legal" might not be totally accurate. Are you sure those aren't on the DEA's List I or List II precursors/reportable items? I wouldn't want to have ordered that to say, some residence, and for that to be brought to the attention of a DEA special agent. You'd be getting a visit. I would not order this all willy nilly, that's for sure. I wouldn't at all, I just meant were I someone willing to take those risks, this one might be more risky than it initially seems, just word to the wise.

Now the thing is, a chemist only has to slightly adjust their calculation (for the weight ot said precursor replacing MDP2P) and they can in essence just use them in exactly the same way. The diference being that the product would be 5-MAPB or 6-MAPB depending on which one they obtain. I'm quite surprised but it seems that apart from the unsubstituted P2P and MDP2P, they are all legal to buy, sell and produce.
Again, that's worth researching and being familiar with the vendor of something like this. It's plainly obvious to any chemist what those could easily be used for. Get some anti-drug crusader type and it might be bad business.

There is also a rather spiffing way to avoid the need for the difficult to obtain and legally controlled methylamine. One just adds nitromethane.
Yeah that's been a known technique for a long time, even to the DEA. It's become difficult to procure nitromethane sometimes and in some places depending on local laws and whatnot.

If one seeks the primary amine, ammonium formate works.
Right, that produces 5-APB or 6-APB.

So is it maybe the case that the benzofurans are turning up in place of MDMA?
You'd think you'd see that though in the pill reports. And also, comparatively, these drugs are pretty mild stacked up against the inimitable MDMA and MDA. Just my $0.02 anyway.

I don't get on with stimulants so I can only comment on what is commercially available.
Benzofury drugs are not on par with MDMA/MDA. And empathogens/entactogen stimulants don't do much for you either, I guess? What happens when/if you take it, I mean, you personally? I'm just curious. I have a friend who slips into a psychosis state almost every time he does meth or MDMA/MDA, and even Adderall sometimes.
 
The Long-Term Comedown thread does not sound like an unbiased discussion group, FWIW.
Indee, agreed. So why don t UK-ers get em. They are king MDMA consumers probably. But NL-ers are good to, i took a lot weekly some two days.

Some of my friends were 100 x times worse [me bit Chicken/ scared or good sense ?], They also drank on it, used any imaginable fun drug. Both functional employed no LTC. Step up Tekno/ Gabber scene. 200/ 440 x more ? These people combine MTA and MDMA and whatever, because you got so fucking high [and could die].

These went totally overboard some became Junks, died or stopped. Some still are going. 70 +, but never heard any mention about LTC
Yeah so the Netherlands places a heavy importance on the concept of harm reduction, and as you pointed-out, provide safety services such as pill testing and have for the past couple decades.

Funny enough, PMMA and PMA—when represented honestly and not as "ecstasy", "MDMA", or "molly", but as "PMMA" or "PMA" and when dosed in the proper, safe range—is a really kickass drug that I've used a few times and had excellent experiences each time, but I also realize it has a steep incline into toxicity and it can be lethal when taken to a relatively small threshold overdose amount. MDMA/MDA have way better safety profiles.


That's not what I hear. I understand meth is taking off in EU & Australia. And besides let's please not pretend that amphetamine paste ("speed") is a harmless compound…
But before internet existed, and Belgium made Meth OTC it illegal,
and Germany Phenmetrazine
NL. declared it had no medical value. So no more prescription drug.
It dried up.

And was replaced by Speed, which is not a harmless substance, and not a paste.
Took 1/ 2 gram spread out 1-st time, thinking in Coke terms, 24 hour up 24 down.
And the down not worth the up. If i gave that impression something was,
or written or interpreted. Saw a good friend, speed freak, decline for my eyes.

In a few incident Speed was tainted with PM[M]A, and a warning went out.
But that was once, and MTA when illegal went to the UK sold illegal as
FLATLINERS

My ADHD medication, dextro Ampetamine, 20/ 25 mg a day
[take less then prescribed] used as prescribed less dangerous then
PARACETAMOl or APAP, and certainly not close to the hell of Diclofeanac.
Or the bogus bullshit drug, Levetiracetam, dr s think stops seizure.

Or get paid to 'Sell that stuff'

It doesn t prevent seizures, the fuckers didn t mention its side effects.
Suicidal feelings, also a after effect of a seizure. 1+1=3.
During day rage, at night insomnia and when lucky a lucid nightmare.
Seizures are triggered by stress and the following insomnia.

To someone suffering insomnia, nightmares. Only idiots and wastemen.

Dr s, and bad drug dealers are not harmless, plain dangerous,
essentially overpriced dumb ass killers. But still around lucky.
Had the tools ready to make a end to my lively spirit, destroy it.
While that is a natural reaction after a seizure, side effect.
And the Neurologist a quack. And a active potential murderer.
RC are illegal now, well investigation proved.
1/ 2 the labs produced both legal RCs and illegal drugs.

Now its illegal, so all glassware. lab, experienced jobless,
now experienced chemists.

Pretty obvious what our Gouvernement wants.
Besides being a tax paradise, named inbetween Panama and Kayman Islands

Become markt leader producing illegal Meth, Fentanyl, Nitazenes.
To spread over the world, and give those criminals some extra dirty cash.
The infra structure is already finished, and thanks to the Liberals.
Who/ why, how ? Lies, manipulation, not following experts advise and
They off course [secretly] support these criminals,
and gives a fuck about citizens health.

As its the opposite of Harm Reduction,
leaving this to be done by Criminals.

The Muppetshow still on, even in that 1-st chamber. Unacceptable.
the opposition was strong integer, Harm reduction aimed,
there argument s against backed with facts.






Never? Are you sure of that? Sounds like an absolute. I seem to remember seeing pill reports from Amsterdam, the Hague and/or Rotterdam, involving some pills w/caffeine.

Read on NCBI bout the Caffeine potentates. But back then, 80-ties no internet.
So testing service was great, never had anything in it but MDMA.

Did trust someone who was actually not ton be trusted.
A friend & speedfreak, and speed dealers apparently can get tainted pills.

So trust in tests not word of friends. So once MDA unknowing.
Nice surprise. Once knowing MDA/MDMA from a real dealer.
But that speed freak, once gave something that was real shit.
Still wonder what, felt sick/ toxic.

After MDEA was illegalized they were sold, the remains as MDEA.
Makes me wonder: do all Dutch people tend to stereotype this much, painting with broad strokes, so to speak, or was that just Johannes Vermeer?

I think you're making some false assumptions and jumping to conclusions perhaps.
Assumption, thought had it mostly under control by now.
That special part of NL i ment, is where i recede now. These are not real NL genetic.
!/ 2 Celt 1/2 Norwegian, they base anything on assumption.

And as they don t have Dutch Directness, continuous misunderstanding.
Weird is you can insult em with the truth, backed with facts.
So from there point you insulted the person, so they start war.

But war means trouble, something i don t need or look for.
So why always on my path ? The one of few you don t fuck with,
like kids should be fucked with.

Facts against assumptions. Acting if insulted, but insulting themselves.
And me. Called me retard, based on a false assumption.
Where do assumptions come from. By misinterpreting your thought s,
over and over again, till they became crazy.

No need for IQ tests, they have none. Exceptions excluded.
And i always right, facts and prove, and i always win except from the Police.
As the are above and ignore the Law. But fucked me big time.
Separated from my Kids based on a false assumption is a crime.

And pretty damaging for kids. I hate my Land, not the in it.
But lack of protest s, so they are Pussy s her too.

Lucky they got me, you wouldn t believe what i changed since i landed here.
Yeah they must hate, most.

I'm not so sure about that one. I seem to remember reading a EUDA paper talking about "hallucinogen persisting perception disorder (HPPD)" in Europe. Maybe it doesn't affect the NL; after all, with a more reasonable approach to drugs in general focusing on harm reduction not criminalization, it wouldn't surprise me if there are fewer incidents that result from persistent drug abuse.

25% Dutch 25% danish/ 25 German 12.5 Celtish 12.5 % Norwegian.
My family fled were i now recede, they hero s and kinda tolerated/ kept still.
They were not Farmers, Fishers and when a ship was in trouble sinking they
took there paddled through meters waves, a voluntary task, to save the survivors.

The did get a statue though, recognition took 100 years but.
There also 10 times slower then the Dutch.

And some Persian genes too so how it actually genetically is in me ?

This is not proof of anything. Your anecdotes are amusing but they're only anecdotes do not comprise actual research. It's just your subjective opinion, which you're welcome to have and to share, but just don't think it's gospel and don't expect me not to criticize it when you draw arbitrary conclusions and present it as incontrovertible fact.

So why don t UK-ers get em. They are king MDMA consumers probably.
Again: lotta assumptions. I don't believe this phenomenon would only affect Americans, and you offered no evidence as to why this would or could be, only random half-ass vague guesses about "tainted" drugs. I can't just take your word for it, nor am I inclined to believe guesswork. But if you have some published studies, and especially if they're peer-reviewed and/or published in respected journals, I'd love to see them, b/c it sure seems like wild speculation right now, possibly with some stereotyping.

Saw a good friend, speed freak, decline for my eyes.
Sorry to hear about your friend. Not everyone handles their drugs so well, even in the Netherlands it seems. So I'm not sure why you're still insisting Americans are somehow magically different, even though many of us have the same cultural heritage and ancestral bloodlines as our cousins in Europe. I have Dutch ancestry myself, as I stated before. The rest of my DNA is mostly all European white bread – Irish, English, Italian, German, Swedish—and the only wheat bread? ☞ a bit of Blackfoot Native American.

To someone suffering insomnia, nightmares. Only idiots and wastemen.
What are "wastemen" exactly? Also, quick question: have you ever visited the U.S.? It's been a while, but I'd love to come visit Europe again, and especially Rotterdam… plus maybe Berlin, Paris, and Ibiza while I'm at it. I want to

there argument s against backed with facts.
Interesting conspiracy theory involving Dutch banking and drug proliferation. I still need real evidence of this before I'm willing to believe it 100%, but it's fun to think about nonetheless, FWIW.

Ga zo door, bro ✌️ ;) Fascinerende dialoog, intrigerende taal. Maar oordeel alsjeblieft niet over Amerikanen. Ze zijn niet allemaal imbecielen.
 
Still at it eh?

Never thought I'd say this but I'm scared to roll now.

Over covid, my entire life was dismantled, I lost everything. The love of my life, my job, my home and with it my social circle. Basically my worst nightmare and I'm still sort of living in it.

I'm stable now, but I live a pretty fuckin lonely & sad version of my life now. I'm terrified MDMA will not be like it was, or maybe make me feel even sadder about the situation. Out at a show like man, I'm old(er) now, this music sucks now, I miss my old life, etc.

I'm pretty certain a lot of the things MDMA made me feel during those years, the 7 years (basically from the creation of this account!) where I had everything single thing I wanted in life and there was nothing more to do other than celebrate that very fact. Thats what made the MDMA so good, thats what caused the bouts of "psychosis" where I'd sort of freak out on MDMA+psych thinking everything i'm feeling is too good and it couldn't be real, some sort of simulation. I could just take the stuff, already ecstatic about my life, who I am and who I'm surrounded by, and it would just get even better.

Maybe I'll find out one of these days, but I really do believe MDMA needs love to work properly. I just so highly doubt I could just take this stuff now and it would be as good as it was, purely due to circumstance. Just personally, I would not be able to honestly blame the drug itself. Trying to get the courage up soon though

My excuses its reads as i look down on people in USA or the Netherlands ao.
A Generalisation, so basically manipulating. Forgot hard its hard differiate.
How its ment, a insult or as eye opener by making it bigger then it is.

Not insulting anyone in a land, that was not the intention, at all.
Unification, but that will take a while and will hopefully happen,
but then i will be over 300 year old, so long gone.

Like Spinal & Steen, they track about HATE/
remastered version their Love of Hate or the other way round.
While i know they texts are ment to stir up, and will insult people,
that only hear the top layer. And miss the message in the song.

They not killer s or tortures, they do generalize, mangnifie,
take out thing s out of context. Sing Brutal words. They insult themselves.

Manipulation technics, can be used it in a positive way.
For giving their art some kickt. A wake up call.
And negative way, the first i find acceptable the other not,
but it to interpret able/ or unclear to others.
Thanks for the feedback. We together wrote about a 1/2 book. :)

A Politician using it [wrong !], to influence opinion with manipulating.
That why we learned it on School.

So assume my generalisations were ment not personal. Positiv.
90 % here is [globally wild guess] is alright,
"who the shoe fit let em wear it" Bobby Marley".

But it was merely used as simplification for me.
Most time i wright, i add it a generalisations.
And bout the exceptions that confirm it.
[my Math teacher words, seemed wise, still]

So almost anyone on Bluelight [have doubts about 1] !
Who would be the exception confirming the rule,
meaning everyone is OK on Bluelight. Any Dutch, American.
Can t judge myself feels a bit arrogant who knows himself ?

MDMA+ eh. What do you think about the after effects of MDMA?
As I've gotten older, I get an increasingly worse hangover from taking MDMA, and I really only take it a few times a year, mostly b/c of the increasingly shitty Suicide Tuesday effect.

[pseudo-English off-topic speed ramblings]
Amphetamine sulfate is a helluva drug.
 
Suicide Tuesday effect.


Amphetamine sulfate is a helluva drug

Someone paraphrsed Timothy Leary in describing the E generation:

'TUrn up, zone out, be late to work on Teusday.

As someone who was part of the 80s-90s Manchester cdance club scene, we saw people who would do 4-5 good pills (125mg for £10 each) every Friday night and every Saturday night.

One by one they started to disappear from the scene. Quite a few went on to use benzodiazepines and a proportion of those went on to use opioids.

I am in no way assering that the 'gateway drug theory'ais accurate. I think it's a function of availability to need. I imagine you NEED serious sedation for a 10 pill crash.
 
Wow - don't they all look messy.

No prizes for guessing where the Soalwax video 'E talking'(produced by Evan Bernard and filmed at Fabric) took it's inspiration.



The difference is that one one hand they included drugs that nobody would consume in a club. On another hand, it fails to include the vast number od designer phenethlamines and designer tryptamines. On the third hand I suppose compromise was needed to make the whole 'A to Z of drugs' BE an A to Z.

Also, exactly WHO still has access to methaqualone? I gingerly tried a small sample of dimethaqualone and although the stuff IS awesome, they aren't nicknamed 'wallbangers' because they sound good. You smoke one and promptly fall over. 20 minutes later, you want another. A bad thing.

Many moons ago I had a dream that I synthesized this compound in my old MDMA lab. It was a lengthy somewhat nerve-wracking synth that took forever, and the yields were so-so, but I couldn't complain. Lotta synthesizing of precursors for this, but it is, or was at least back then, possible to produce it without needing watched chems. I would not risk it now though; lotta items have been placed in Lists I & II since then.

Here are the old links from Rhodium's archive on the Erowid:
EDIT: warning – these links go to methods that have mistakes and are flawed and reckless on a number of points. Do NOT attempt any of these, not just because they're probably illegal where you live, but also because they're potentially quite dangerous.

Gingerly? So as a red-head? (j/k)

When you say "you" who do you mean exactly? ;) But to your point, yeah, this stuff slaps hardAF.

If you wish to produce an ammount suitable for personal use (and practice you lab technique), there are many routes. But in South Africa where methaqualone is a serious problem, they have telescoped synthesis to a single solvent-free step in which dehydration is achieved by thermal extraction (they boil it off). Of course, they have to obtain the controlled precursors from the Triads. Not people to mess with.

With all the other routes, the volumes of solvent make them unwieldly.

There is a serious error on the Methaqualone (Quaalude) Synthesis page. Once you spot it, you realize that their exists a second single-step solvent-free methodology.

But methaqualone appears to produce social issues in South Africa that are somewhat akin to the crack epidemics in other nations. People compulsively redose, become violent, commit crimes of aquisitivness and all the while let their general health collapse.

There was later research which revealed compounds that were more potent and less toxi, but syntheis is complex.

Yeah I wasn't sharing this info saying anyone should follow this procedure. Indeed they should not. After looking at it more carefully just now, I realized this write-up is seriously flawed. The point I was attempting to make is that it's almost always possible to conjure up an OTC—if lengthy and challenging—method of production. Where there's a will, there's a way. But the method in that link is not something anyone should attempt.

There are many issues with this write-up now that I'm looking more closely for issues. Where to begin? Let's see, there's an incorrect acid concentration between the nitric and sulfuric acid, insufficient cooling with just the suggested ice bath alone, and the suggested method of adding toluene 5 mL at a time is reckless and will likely lead to a runaway reaction. You shouldn't add ice cubes to a reaction mixture, WTF kinda shit is that? The temps should also be kept well below 60°C, that shouldn't be the upper limit. It should run much cooler. Also separating the nitrotoluene is more involved than simply separating layers, and again, water should not be added directly to the reaction mixture. The volume of water used should be determined by the yield in the previous step, not "twice the volume of nitrotoluene." The suggestion of repeated water washes is insufficient as well. Proper workup procedures involve multiple washes with specific solutions (e.g., sodium bicarbonate solution to neutralize any remaining acid) and drying over a suitable drying agent (e.g., anhydrous magnesium sulfate).

An on and on… this is a piss poor reaction write-up. The isomer separation step is insufficient to separate isomers, and the fact that the author says, "This stuff smells bad and the smell will be in your clothes when you stop" is pretty terrifying. This should be done in a well ventilated lab while wearing proper personal protective equipment, including gloves, eye protection, and a lab coat. The smell clinging to clothes indicates inadequate ventilation and potential exposure to hazardous chemicals.

But the telescoped reaction doesn't surprise me. I understand this is how PCP is made in the ghettos – it comes as a telescoped Grignard reagent. Just goes to show ya, kids; don't try this at home.

As far as social issues go in South Africa, yeah I've seen some documentaries on this very topic wherein South Africans tend to smoke the drug as their preferred RoA from chillums. Drug-taking rituals fascinate me a bit, though I generally prefer to view them from a distance, as it were. Regardless, methaqualone isn't as uncommon as you might think. I have a theory that the film, Wolf of Wall Street, reignited interest in their compound, featured as prominently as it is in that movie.

THIS is hilarious. The chemist needed to use a 20l vessel to scale up to a massive 66 grams of product although some more crashed out as the mother liquor evaporated. A total of 85g.

As Rh noted - yield 25% of theoretical.

I've never knowingly seen an image of a clandestine methaqualone laboratory. In fact I suspect very few ever existed. An importer would simply CLAIM they had in fact manufactured it because if a buyer knew the truth, they would seek to cut the importer out of the equasion.

Exactly 1 methaqualone lab was ever found in the USA:


In the UK one chemist had ordred small quantities of precursors but likely gave up when they realized it would only work on a HUGE scale and if cheap precursors were legally available. We also saw someone trying to import it from Pakistan.

It's only the weird setup in South Africa in which the Triads pay for abalone in precursor chemicals that means methaqualone production makes economic sense. Cooks feel RICH if they make £10/day. The pills sell for Rs 30-35 i.e. around $2 and you only get 3-4 pills per gram of active.

There was brief excitment when someone found the patent on nitromethaqualone along with a statment that it was x10 more potent. A few issues here. It turned out to be a carcinogen and to cause seizures if people took just a little more. I'm also suspicious that the patent only claimed it was x4 more potent and the one human study I found suggested it was inactive!

That is why plain vanilla methaqualone is still the one being made.

<EDIT>After researching many related compounds it became clear that any and all '4 substitutions be it a methyl, halide, pseudohalide or nitro resulted in compounds that produced seizures. I don't recall the details of the paper that stated nitromethaqualone was not active so where the figure of x10 came from I do not know. Possibly the researchers noted the narrow TI and only trialled the drug on the lowest dose possible. If your funding is relient on you finding a result ameanable to the client, there are many ways to design the answer saught. After all, in the US Quaaludes contained 300mg, in the UK Mandrax contained 250mg (+25 mg of diphenhydramine) and psychonauts state that 150mg is an appropriate dose. When smoked this class is a lot more potent. Someone without tolerance would get off their face on just 50mg smoked</edit>

As this is not on topic anymore, it should be a separate thread.
But have to know as i assumed everyone on School learns:
How to recgonize Manipulative skills/ tactics.

Why Politicians. They love to abuse em, but also in private life.
You are often trying to be manipulated, advertising most obvious.
But also kid programs, News on TV, via internet.

Are these teacher-ed outside my school, i assumed, but is it ?
Anyone learned em on school ? In NL, UK, US, Belgium etc.
Or was my school the exception to the rule ? And my teachers,

Actually cooler then i thought. They were cool.
But that would mean they were more like training us to spot lies,
recognize manipulation. Hoping some would pick it up. i did.

Interesting fact it was not in the Gouvernement teaching protocol.
So not something that would pop up in tests.
It was crucial extra info, the teacher found it important we knew.

But you didn t have to learn it, would not be a question in state exam !
I wonder anyone get teached that on high school ?
As I've gotten older, I get an increasingly worse hangover from taking MDMA, and I really only take it a few times a year, mostly b/c of the increasingly shitty Suicide Tuesday effect.


Amphetamine sulfate is a helluva drug.
Indeed, so why is the dextro isomer so different.
On dl- i get spun, d- tried it none. My ADHD, or the l-isomer ?
 
Dexamphetamine AKA (S)-Amphetamine AKA S(+)-Amphetamine produces far fewer physical side-effects. It is hugely different to raecemic amphetamine and it's duration is shorter.

The fact the UK now ONLY uses dexamphetamine should make people wonder why it was worth the higher price. I presume it's because dexamphetamine appears to produce better outomes i.e. fewer strokes and heart attacks thus an overall saving to the NHS.
