No, I'm not suggesting it would have any recreational value as such. It's just that I seem to remember the compound being mentioned somewhere (can't remember where that would be though)

Guess there's naught to do but wait until someone somewhere tries it and tells us, then...

without even knowing what receptors it effects - I'd bet GABA-A receptors, given that many simple ketones do, but I dunnoooo for sure. Not likely to be researched unless someone wants to pay for an assay, which isn't all that expensive, but I'm not interested in it enough.

Acetophenone is used as a mammal repellent where I work. Jesus does that stuff smell. I couldn't imagine someone just slurping it back out of a bottle like cough syrup... it turns my stomach thinking of it. I see why they reccomend to use capsules/pearls.
If it does work I would expect it to be a messy drug like chloral or ether. Messy, crude, and stinky. I have a feeling this is one of those drugs which are useful only as a scientific curio and not actually meant for regular usage.basement_shaman
