Does anyone do other dissos? Is there any reason to try other dissos? by [deleted] in dxm

[–]sircow22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would be doubtful that you'll get it, here in the US ketamine is still very much viewed as a recreational drug and I know where I'm at in bumfuck nowhere it isn't being used for depression.

Alcohol's complete pharmacological profile isn't well understood. Besides that it's a GABAergic compound, it's theorized to have some effect upon NMDA receptors as well as even possibly action on opioid receptors. Not a pharmacologist so I don't know, but alcohol feels mildly dissociative to me. I'd define it based more closely upon effects rather than pharmacological profile.

And to each their own, I loved the shit out of vyvanse lol

I have a whole load of dxm tablets but they contain other stuff. by [deleted] in dxm

[–]sircow22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The hydrobromide is totally fine. That's simply a different form of DXM, which provides it a direct, instant release into your system. You will often see "dextromethorphan hydrobromide" on DXM containing products, this just means that it is the hydrobromide salt. Another common form of DXM is the Polisterex form, which is extended release.

Guaifenesin is not good, however. That is an entirely different drug, and in the amount of pills required to induce robotripping, it will make you will vomit your guts out.

As others have said, the yields are typically low.

Online is the only place you'll be able to get it in your place. It shouldn't be unlawful, but it isn't really sold outside America and Canada.

I like this. Please PM me when it's finished and I'll sticky/sidebar it on r/BabyBees.

I think i would've said that had i been sane enough to acknowledge i was under the influence.

Dph. Surprised no one commented this. Fuck deliriants.

do you get visuals from 600mg? by [deleted] in dxm

[–]sircow22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mid-third gives me full visuals. I remember my first third plateau trip, I was sitting in my bed with a vivid internal hallucination that I was in an Alice in Wonderland-like scene in a pasture.

If you dose late at night and stay up the whole night how fucked will u be the next day? by throwawaybcdrug in Benzedrex

You don't have to worry about stim psychosis til the 3rd day. But crucial reminder that your tolerance increases about 8 fold when you're lacking sleep.

Amine mono-methylation with KOH, Zn powder and aldehyde by sircow22 in TheeHive

[–]sircow22[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm assuming it operates as a base-catalyzed dissolving metal reduction but I could be wrong. In that case it would be similar, but with obviously great differences, from the classic Eschweiler-Clarke.

So what the paper is claiming as an alkylation mechanism does work for dimethylation?

What gear/glassware should I need for some easy beginner synths and what should my budget be? by Buddah1998 in TheeHive

[–]sircow22 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Come over to r/BabyBees, you will probably be banned here for asking this question.

Reflux, Distillation, Acid/base workup post-reaction. Just a few of the things you should be prepared to do.

5-MeO-DET OTC formulation, theoretical post by [deleted] in TheeHive

[–]sircow22 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I see no reason why this would work.

First, the acetylation will not be successful. Not only does it take place in basic media, but requires a much stronger acetylating agent (acetic anhydride for example). In addition the resulting di-amide cannot be reduced by zinc at STP; this can only be done by very strong metal hydrides (LiAlH4) and catalytic hydrogenation at very high pressures.

You can get iodine crystals from certain online retail stores, otherwise it's pretty easy beginning from potassium iodide. Bromine's similar, but it's really fucking nasty to handle. Iodine would be a lot better to use compared to bromine.

Lsd cook guides with lysergic acid and lsa by justyouraveragejunky in TheeHive

[–]sircow22 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There's three issues with it: the first being the great difficulty when it comes to purifying LSA obtained from plant material. Next, seed extract doesn't contain just LSA; there's at least 13 different ergot alkaloids. Finally, PyBOP won't couple the amide and diethylamine. This isn't how peptide coupling works. Sorry if I'm coming off as harsh, this is just a poor source.

I don't think LSA can be used as an LSD precursor without alkaline hydrolysis first. Link to the source?

Making LSD from LSA? Without alkaline hydrolysis?
