Why aren't pharm companies looking here?

Is it just me or would pharmaceutical companies benefit a LOT by looking at some of the chemical masturbation threads here and possibly even recruiting some of the people making them? Really, there is so much passed over potential in this forum.
 
Im sure they've got enough of their own good ideas..

Plus arent most of the threads here dedicated to recreational potential? lol
 
public image. I don't doubt that R&D guys in the area of CNS-active drugs do though.

We cover what they're interested in, even if it's a subset of CNS disorders that our area of interest yields stuff they'd be interested in treating.

not too many people looking to treat "anhedonia" with crack...
 
Probably because we have no original research, i.e., we have nothing they couldn't have extrapolated themselves.

Those bastards and their government/other fundings
 
Well, not everything coming out of here is recreational. I remember one non-stim phen being asked about and it being known as a really good decongestant. That might solve the whole phenylephrine problem if some pharm companies would look into it. The topic of trypt/phen vasoconstrictors came up. That and there is unspoken potential in analogues of so many of the chems that end up in masturbation threads. Who cares if we don't have original research? They can do the research off of our ideas.

Because here you have people speculating about things the pharmaceutical companies have real labs making the stuff and testing it.

Everyone here is masturbating to magazine pictures; the pharmaceutical companies have already had sex with all the models in real life.
 
There's plenty of 'real' research being conducted through here. Ask around and you'll find that many contributors have continuing real-world experience.

(my closest is through a close friend at the university, who has given me wonderful goodies, especially lately).
 
Probably because they actually have real intelligent people working for them, on projects that are actually feasible economicaly/politicaly; not some internet posting mal succeeded chemists or Alexander Shulgin's wannabes that post on an internet forum about recreational drugs? 8(
 
Ouch! Thanks! If they did look and saw something useful, they wouldn't tell us about it anyway.

Edit: Also if someone here had something a pharm company might be interested in they would be smart not to mention it here!

Click to expand...

I realize you're not the smartest member at Bluelight, but you really ought to think about what it is you're saying.

BL has wonderful members with lots of actual experience, academic and otherwise. The majority of ADD regs fit that profile.

As if you couldn't figure that out from the level of discourse here? Take a look at the threads. They're not a bunch of amatuers rambling like you see at other forums (entheogen comes to mind).

After reading snippets of 'the ochem of drug synthesis', I find that this statement is completely true.
 
oh sorry, I was just confused... I'm a little stoned. It was the only thing to keep my stomach eat ease for more than 30 minutes at a time.

this flu blows.
 
Since when were up to 33% of the things here not eco/pol feasible? That and I'm pretty sure many companies have NOT looked at things in these threads or there would be a lot of meds around that work better
 
Acyl, i'm not sure how exactly the Organic Chemistry of Drug Synthesis relates to the members of BL?
Maybe i'm missing something really obvious, heh.
I certainly agree that the quality of posters over here in ADD is high though :) ! This subforum is what got me to sign up to BL in the first place.

It was just wierd to see a bunch of people predicting the activity of a new class of compounds.. I just didnt understand how or what made it such a big deal seeing as though nothing more than theoretical discussion would come out of it (not saying you guys are incapable of trying it, its just tough to fund/organize such things)

Now I see its much like theoretical organic chemistry and is actually pretty damn interesting *shrug*

This subforum is what got me to sign up to BL in the first place.

yeah same

I was sorta let down that this place doesnt approve of synthesis discussion though.. can anyone explain why that is?
 
Well I would guess it's because assisting a felony is a crime under US law (and many others I would think). This is obviously grey area in regards to analogs and non-structurally-similar compounds though.
Also, opening it up for synthesis discussion would attract more HI/P meth garagemonkeys which is the last thing that i'd like - and many others no doubt - to see ADD turn into.
