That's a great interview, I think I know who it's with too (one of them). Congrats man, there are more beautiful substances in the world now because of you.

Underground laboratories and increasing chemical knowledge will help end the drug war. Already we're seeing that everytime the government makes drugs illegal, underground chemists make new, legal drugs. It's a beautiful thing, if only it was done with a bit more care in some cases. The new arylcyclohexylamines are great though.
 
Nice interview. I really enjoyed reading it.

All of these compounds could stay legal forever if the people who really cared about them weren't out there being Timothy Leary evangelizing these things all the fucking time. LSD or another psychedelic could very well have been approved drugs by now were it not for the mess he helped start. Now we're seeing a repeat.

I can see what you mean but then again, you (or any other of us) may never even have heard or experienced LSD or any of these drugs without some kind of exposure.
 
In Singapore, ketamine dealers face 15 strokes of a brine-soaked rattan cane to the bare buttocks… probably in addition to execution. Risky business. When you were working with these things you had a psychotic episode of some sort—what exactly happened?

i would just get on K before the whipping..... and put my gimp mask on..

Glad to see that the anti-depressant effect of MXE was mentioned, it's almost been a week since my last dose and I still feel the least depressed I can remember being, I've kicked many of my bad habits since my first dose of the stuff. It's almost like it kicked my brain into gear and changed my perspective of life.

This article led me to try MXE. I had the same experience... quit smoking cold turkey the day after and cut my drinking down to a fraction of what it was. Totally lifted me out of my depression as well. This is from doing it once over a week ago and I haven't touched it again since even though I have more.

Seems to me it has a lot of opportunity to help people and hopefully it does.

Still want to know about the toxicity though..
 
^Yep.
His most recent investigation of ketamine and its chemical variations produced a new dissociative anesthetic named methoxetamine

I think you misread that part.
 
Interview with a ketamine chemist

...Or to Be More Precise, an Arylcyclohexylamine Chemist

There are medicinal chemists who work on an unseen side of the pharmaceutical industry. Like their legally sanctioned counterparts, they work to synthesize drugs they hope will produce therapeutic effects in their users. But they do not work with billion-dollar budgets or advertising agencies; doctors are not bribed to distribute their products with ergonomic pens or fine terrycloth beach towels. Their advertising comes solely from word of mouth and semicautionary articles like the one you are about to read.

The creation of these chemicals is an extraordinary feat of interdisciplinarity; often the pharmacologist, the chemist, the posologist, the toxicologist, and the experimental animal are all the same human being. This is the way drugs have been developed since the beginning of medical history—it is only in recent years that the practice of self-experimentation has become stigmatized, and accordingly these experimenters, like M., must remain shrouded in mystery.

M. is one of the most respected chemists in his underground field. Singlehandedly, he has popularized and discovered numerous novel drugs for gray-market distribution. His most recent investigation of ketamine and its chemical variations produced a new dissociative anesthetic named methoxetamine, which has recently made its way into the nostrils and anuses of lay experimenters worldwide. Methoxetamine is an exemplary product of rational drug discovery; each of its atoms is the result of arduous study and consideration, all created independently on a minuscule budget. But the success of drugs like methoxetamine does not entail great profits for their inventors. Indeed, it is they who wring their hands most over the unknown fate of the chemicals they conceive. Herein we shall explore the great bioethical quandary faced by the underground medicinal chemist.

Vice: How did your interest in the chemistry of dissociatives begin?
M.: Well, when I was a young boy, only 13, I was badly hurt in an IRA bombing in London. My left hand had to be amputated after the explosion, and I knew I’d lived through a psychological stress that most people cannot even conceive. I would definitely say this triggered my interest in altered states. When you lose a limb, especially when the limb is exposed to serious trauma before the loss, there is a significant chance you’ll be left with an agonizing phantom limb.

I'm not interested in MXE, not in the whole class of drugs but I must say it was very interesting read!
 
Alot of things he said about it are awfully true.
I've taken quite a bit of mxe. It is a wonderful
experience...yet like everything else it can be
too much sometimes
 
Sending this on over to Drugs In The Media, although I can guarantee this article has come up already. Not sure how long this will stay open, or if it will be merged with another thread about the same article.
