I don't remember the author's name or the name of the book. But basically it's a book that contains instructions on how to synthesize almost any drug you could imagine. It wasn't a Shulgin book. It contained many more recipes of all sorts of different classes of drugs, both OTC and not OTC.

It had a chapter for each different class of drug, like an amphetamine chapter, an opioid chapter, etc.

I remember someone on BL actually linked to an online version of the book.


Does anyone know what I'm referring to?

Those were serious answers.

Uncle Fester didn't write any books about opiates though, as far as I know.

Here are the books by Uncle Fester (copied from his wikipedia page), several of them are about drug synthesis, methamphetamine, psychedelic amphetamines, various other psychedelics, amphetamine, LSD, MDA and MDMA are covered, and maybe some others, I don't own any of his books but I've read parts of them-

Advanced Techniques of Clandestine Psychedelic & Amphetamine Manufacture.
Home Workshop Explosives, Second Edition.
Practical LSD Manufacture.
Secrets of Methamphetamine Manufacture Sixth Edition with Recipes for MDA, Ecstacy, and other Psychedelic Amphetamines.
Silent Death, Revised and Expanded Second Edition.
Vest Busters: How to Make your Own Body-Armor-Piercing Bullets.
Bloody Brazilian Knife Fightin' Techniques
 
Oooh...I thought Uncle Fester was some kind of joke. I don't know, could you link the books? The book I'm thinking of was available in full online for free.

And to the person who said TIHKAL: Like I said in OP, these aren't Shulgin books.
 
My answers was also serious, and actually fits your description far better than any of Strike or Fester's books.

I'm not sure if his books are available online. As a disclaimer, I'm also not sure how well the recipes work, although I'm fairly certain that most of them are legit. He wrote the book about meth after being arrested for cooking it, so I think he at least knew his shit on that one.

Here's the wiki that I got the info from- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncle_Fester_(author)

And here's his website, from which the books can be bought- http://www.unclefesterbooks.com/
And the page with an overview of his books, including reviews and stuff- http://www.unclefesterbooks.com/products.html

After looking into it, he doesn't cover opiates so if the book you're thinking of did then it wasn't one of his. I'm curious about this now, an obscure and fairly comprehensive book about drug synthesis available for free online? Very interesting.

I think you might be right, I just googled Professor Buzz and the first thing that came up was a free e-book on drug synthesis-

OP- you should look and see if this is the right one. Here's a link to the hard copy edition, with one review stating that it's a very comprehensive and technical book- http://www.amazon.com/Recreational-Drugs-Professor-Buzz/dp/0915179881
 
^^That's it. I have it in print, it covers pretty much every class of drug, but it requires some understanding of chemistry or it's as interesting as reading a phone book. Fester and Strike's books go into far greater detail on the specific drug each is dedicated to, and both are interesting authors who bring their own unique (and very different) attitudes to the subjects. There are some obvious errors in Fester's books, at least the earlier editions, but the meth recipes were good enough to spark a meth epidemic, and the sarin gas recipe in "silent death" was used for the terrorist attack in the Tokyo subway. Only the lack of a proper dispersal method (which was the fault of the terrorists, not Fester) prevented thousands of deaths.

Another author who deserves mention in this thread is Otto Snow.
 
OMG I'm an idiot...

Thank you fryingsquirrel and psychomimetic, that was the exact book I was thinking of!

:D
 
Yeah I was thinking about Otto Snow also in addition to Uncle Fester and Strike..don't remember exactly what snow wrote,but I read some of it a few years ago and it was good .
