ching the effects, it was discovered that amphetamines could awaken dogs that were under anesthesia. This discovery led to the use of amphetamines, in pill form, to treat narcolepsy (Feldman et al., 1997). Amphetamines were also rumored to have been used in Japan, Britain, Germany, and the U.S. during World War II (Brecher 1972; Lovett, 1994; Feldman et al., 1997). U.S. and Japanese army personnel are said to have used amphetamines to stay awake and alert while assigned to especially long periods on duty (Feldman et al., 1997). Because of the use of amphetamines by Japanese soldiers, Japan “suffered a serious methamphetamine problem during early postwar years” (Suwaki, 1991). Amphetamine use became so common that college students in the 1950s and 1960s used amphetamines to stay awake all night to study for exams. Long-haul truckers named their routes after how much amphetamine was needed to make the trip. To get halfway across the U.S., truckers used “St. Louie,” and for a transcontinental truck run, “West Coast turnabouts” were used (Feldman et al., 1997). In the 1960s, California users of amphetamine began using speedballs, which are a combination of amphetamine and heroin taken intravenously. Physicians of the Haight-Ashbury Free Clinic in San Francisco tried to warn the public of the dangers of amphetamines by coining the term “speed kills.” Dr. D. Smith of the Haight-Ashbury Free Clinic said: In the 1970s the Haight-Ashbury area, of San Francisco, turned into one of the most violent areas of the city. It was a direct result of the amphetamine epidemic. In addition, we saw a great deal of amphetamine psychosis, © 2003 by CRC Press LLC from high doses of amphetamine producing paranoia, auditory, and visual hallucinations. We started getting a feel that the medical and the psychiatric system did not know how to handle drug epidemics. For example, I was also running the alcohol and drug abuse-screening unit at San Francisco General Hospital where with the diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia you treat with long-term psychotropic medication. With amphetamine psychosis you detoxify them and use a short-term course of psychotropic medication and get them into recove The technology of ancient wine making (open fermentation in crocks or vats) would only produce a six-percent alcohol content. This would be quickly reduced to acetic acid (vinegar). Ancient wine was produced exactly the same as modern vinegar. So, a stable vinegar solution was probably the basis of ancient wine. Vinegar is, however, not intoxicating. One explanation is that vinegar was used as a vehicle for carrying other drugs. Dried drug plants such as poppy (opium), datura, henbane, etc. being extracted with the vinegar. (With the possible exception of opium and ephedra, none of these other plants would really be pleasant in their effects.) Vinegar would then preserve these drugs in solution. This would allow bottling, transport and u

and let the rice cakes slowly shift through the fruiting temperature range. Note that everything else must be right. The rice cake must have a fully developed mycelium network and there must be light. The Ice-Pak should be placed between 1/4 and 1/2 inch from the rice cakes. A flat Ice-Pak will work, but if you have the option, get one that is designed to slip into the center of a six-pak. It will have circular indents molded into each side and it will conform to the shape of the rice cakes better. If everything was ready, you should see pin heads develop 3 or 4 days after you perform this adaptation. If you don't see any develop after 3 or 4 days, you can repeat this (26 of 39) 5/1/2002 6:54:26 PM] How To Grow Magic Mushrooms The Magic Mushroom Growers Guide (page 4) operation again. The networks may not have been developed full enough and the few days since the last attempt may have been enough time to change this fact. Advantage: You can still initiate prolific flushes with the terrarium above the normal temperature range. The optimum temperature for growing mushrooms is higher than what is necessary to initiate new mushrooms and is between 80 and 90 degrees F. This adaptation can let the cultivator grow at the maximum rate, and still produce new mushrooms on the cakes. Disadvantages: The Ice-Pak will lower the humidity in the terrarium. Mostly, this is an issue when you have mushrooms on cakes that are part way through the growing cycle and not ready to harvest. They will usually survive the bad growing conditions for the six hours it takes the Ice- Pak to initiate fruiting, but they will suffer for it. You need to have an ultra sonic humidifier setup on your terrarium. Nothing else will be able to keep the humidity high enough. You can turn the humidity control up a little, but you will have to continue to adjust it down as the Ice-Pak loses its cool. If too much moisture forms on the cakes, it will prevent the initiation of pin heads and that was the whole purpose of this operation. Back to the Growing Cycle. table of contents. Adaptation-17: Adding Moisture to the Rice Cake. After a cake has produced several mushrooms you can add moisture to it. Flame sterilize a 3/16 inch drill bit. Let it cool. Use it to drill a hole at the center of the cake. You can do this by hand. You do not need a drill. Do not go all the way through the cake, but drill a deep (27 of 39) 5/1/2002 6:54:26 PM] How To Grow Magic Mushrooms The Magic Mushroom Growers Guide (page 4) reservoir into the cake. Cut a plastic straw to 4 inches in length. Insert the straw 1/2 inch into the hole. The straw should fit tightly in the cake. Straws from McDonalds are larger than most and work well. They seal well and hold more water. Fill the straw with water daily. A 10 cc. syringe works well to fill the straws with water. You should wait to drill the hole until the cake has produced some mushrooms because the inside of the rice

Ephedra is a genus of gymnosperm shrubs, the only genus in the family Ephedraceae and order Ephedrales. These plants occur in dry climates over a wide area mainly in the Northern Hemisphere, across southern Europe, north Africa, southwest and central Asia, southwestern North America, and, in the Southern Hemisphere, in South America south to Patagonia. They are also called Joint-pine, Jointfir, or Mormon-tea. The Chinese name is 麻黄, ma huang, which means "yellow hemp".

Over 5000 years ago ephedra (under the name Ma huang) has been used in Chinese medicine to treat several disorders. Amongst others asthma and bronchitis were to be treated properly with ephedra.
Ephedra comes from a plant that has a few powerful active compounds, of which ephedrine is the most useful. More information on the chemical connections en the extraction of the active substances is to be read in chemistry. Over the last few years ephedra has gained much more attention for its side-effects: an increased metabolism, plus the thermeogenic and fat burning qualities that come along with that. This gives the body stimulation and provides energy. Thanks to these qualities ephedra now has a status of weight-loss supplement, smartdrug and sports supplement.

Ephedra (also known as Ma huang, Chinese Ephedra and epitonin) is the worlds oldest medicine. The Chinese discovered ephedra more than 5000 years ago. Research has shown that ephedra increases metabolism and helps promote weight loss, relaxes the air passages in the lungs to help treat asthma and cough, promotes perspiration to help a person recover from a minor cold and helps promote urination to help relieve edema. Ephedra has been widely researched for its thermogenic (fat burning) properties. Research has show that ephedra helps promote the loss of fat while helping spare lean muscle tissue, a highly sought-after property that prescription diet medications still have not been able to reproduce. Herbal Phen-Fen, a popular herbal formulation used f

ching the effects, it was discovered that amphetamines could awaken dogs that were under anesthesia. This discovery led to the use of amphetamines, in pill form, to treat narcolepsy (Feldman et al., 1997). Amphetamines were also rumored to have been used in Japan, Britain, Germany, and the U.S. during World War II (Brecher 1972; Lovett, 1994; Feldman et al., 1997). U.S. and Japanese army personnel are said to have used amphetamines to stay awake and alert while assigned to especially long periods on duty (Feldman et al., 1997).
Because of the use of amphetamines by Japanese soldiers, Japan “suffered a serious methamphetamine problem during early postwar years” (Suwaki, 1991). Amphetamine use became so common that college students in the 1950s and 1960s used amphetamines to stay awake all night to study for exams. Long-haul truckers named their routes after how much amphetamine was needed to make the trip. To get halfway across the U.S., truckers used “St. Louie,” and for a transcontinental truck run, “West Coast turnabouts” were used (Feldman et al., 1997).
In the 1960s, California users of amphetamine began using speedballs, which are a combination of amphetamine and heroin taken intravenously.
Physicians of the Haight-Ashbury Free Clinic in San Francisco tried to warn the public of the dangers of amphetamines Stacker 2 With Ephedra by coining the term “speed kills.” Dr. D. Smith of the Haight-Ashbury Free Clinic said: In the 1970s the Haight-Ashbury area, of San Francisco, turned into one of the most violent areas of the city. It was a direct result of the amphetamine epidemic. In addition, we saw a great deal of amphetamine psychosis, © 2003 by CRC Press LLC from high doses of amphetamine producing paranoia, auditory, and visual hallucinations. We started getting a feel that the medical and the psychiatric system did not know how to handle drug epidemics. For example, I was also running the alcohol and drug abuse-screening unit at San Francisco General Hospital where with the diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia you treat with long-term psychotropic medication.
With amphetamine psychosis you detoxify them and use a short-term course of psychotropic medication and get them into recove The technology of ancient wine making (open fermentation in crocks or vats) would only produce a six-percent alcohol content. This would be quickly reduced to acetic acid (vinegar). Ancient wine was produced exactly the same as modern vinegar. So, a stable vinegar solution was probably the basis of ancient wine. Vinegar is, however, not intoxicating. One explanation is that vinegar was used as a vehicle for carrying other drugs. Dried drug plants such as poppy (opium), datura, henbane, etc. being extracted with the vinegar. (With the possible exception of opium and ephedra, none of these other plants would really be pleasant in their effects.) Vinegar would then preserve these drugs in solution.

Adaptation-20: Providing a Moisture Reservoir in the Substrate A reservoir for moisture can be built into the cake while packing the jars with substrate material. Start with an empty jar and tamp 1/4 inch of substrate material in the bottom. Next, position a magic marker or some other object with a cylindrical shape and a diameter of about 3/4 inch in the center of the jar. Fill the jar as normal. Next, remove the object and fill the bore with damp vermiculite. Lastly, pack 1/4 inch of substrate material over the entire jar, sealing the damp vermiculite inside the cake. The damp vermiculite can be mixed separately from the substrate material. Use about 1 cup of vermiculite and 1/3 cup of water. This should produce enough damp vermiculite for a dozen 1/2 pint culture jars. After the cake has fruited, occasionally inject water into this reservoir. The easiest place to inject is the position of the cake that used to be at the center of the bottom of the jar. Just insert a syringe filled with sterile water and inject water until it is full. In case you are wondering, the substrate material can't be injected with water directly. The rice flour and vermiculite form a very tight seal and it is next to impossible to inject water. Even if you do (30 of 39) 5/1/2002 6:54:26 PM] How To Grow Magic Mushrooms The Magic Mushroom Growers Guide (page 4) manage to inject water, it doesn't spread through the cake. Having this reservoir filled with damp vermiculite gives the mycelium network access to a lot of moisture. The easiest way we have found to implement this adaptation is to cut the bottom off of a 10 cc syringe and press the bottom of the syringe into the wet vermiculite several times. This will load the syringe with wet vermiculite. Then place the syringe in the culture jar and pack the substrate around it. Use the syringe's plunger to hold the wet vermiculite stationary while you remove the syringe. Tamp an additional 1/4 inch of substrate material over the entire surface of the jar. Advantage: This adaptation will dramatically extend the longevity of the cake. The cake's yield are normally limited by the amount of moisture in the cake. This procedure allows you to replace moisture as it is consumed by mushroom growth. In general, you will double the total output of the cake compared to not implementing this adaptation. Disadvantages: It is a little bit of extra work to prepare the jars this way. Also, there is a need to be careful to use sterile water when injecting moisture during the growing phase. There is no way to check for contamination introduced inside the cake by injecting water. Back to preparation and colonization table of contents.

ure to cool, then pour it into a sep funnel. Wash the ethyl acetate solution with 50 ml of water to recover the lithium iodide into the water solution. Separate off the water layer, and evaporate the water to recover the lithium iodide for reuse. The ethyl acetate solution should be dried over some anhydrous sodium sulfate, then the ethyl acetate evaporated off to give about 20 grams of 2,4,5-trimethoxyphenlyacetone. This light-sensitive substance should be stored in the freezer. 90 12 Studies On The Production OfTMA-2 91 Method Two Acetonitrile is a quite poisonous solvent, dangerous both in inhalation from the fizzing electrochemical cell and by absorption through the skin. It has been my experience that just spilling a little bit of it on your skin is enough to give you head rushes and make you feel uncomfortable. The use of acetonitrile can be avoided without loss of yield by using the alternative procedure in Example 6 in the patent. The electrochemical cell is constructed in exactly the same way as in the first method. Then into the electrochemical cell put 400 ml of dimethylformamide, 200 ml of water containing 27 grams NaBr, and 20 grams asarone. Check the level of the solution, and make sure that the amount of electrode surfaces are the same as in the first method. Then begin stirring, and pass the current through the solution exactly as in the first method. When the 24,000 coulombs have been passed, pour the contents of the beaker into a sep funnel, dilute with 1000 ml of a 20% solution of salt in water, and extract four times with 200 ml portions of ethyl acetate. The combined extracts, amounting to 800 ml, should be washed twice with 200 ml portions of a 20% solution of salt in water. The ethyl acetate solution contains the product epoxide. It should be evaporated under a vacuum to a volume of about 200 ml, then reacted with lithium iodide just as in the first method to yield about 20 grams of 2,4,5-trimethoxyphenylacetone. Recycling of solvents is possible with this method too. Ethyl acetate can be recovered during the vacuum evaporation by use of a dry-ice trap. The dimethyl-formamide can be recovered by vacuum distillation. The Journal Method A very effective alternative method exists for converting propenyl benzenes to phenylacetones. I know through mail received from the reading public that this method gives a yield of about 80% when used Practical LSD Manufacture 92 with isosafrole. Similar results can be expected when used with asarone. In spite of the high yields and simplicity of this reaction, I can't recommend its use. That's because this procedure uses thallium(III) nitrate to oxidize the propenylbenzene to the corresponding phenylacetone. The thallium(III) nitrate gets reduced to thallium(I) nitrate. Both of these heavy-metal compounds are very poisonous and, unlike organic chemicals, the heavy metals persist forever in the environment, and accumulate in the body.

The ethyl acetate solution should be dried over some anhydrous sodium sulfate, then the ethyl acetate evaporated off to give about 20 grams of 2,4,5-trimethoxyphenlyacetone. This light-sensitive substance should be stored in the freezer. 90 12 Studies On The Production OfTMA-2 91 Method Two Acetonitrile is a quite poisonous solvent, dangerous both in inhalation from the fizzing electrochemical cell and Loss Loss Weight Weight by absorption through the skin. It has been my experience that just spilling a little bit of it on your skin is enough to give you head rushes and make you feel uncomfortable. The use of acetonitrile can be avoided without loss of yield by using the alternative procedure in Example 6 in the patent.
The electrochemical cell is constructed in exactly the same way as in the first method. Then into the electrochemical cell put 400 ml of dimethylformamide, 200 ml of water containing 27 grams NaBr, and 20 grams asarone. Check the level of the solution, and make sure that the amount of electrode surfaces are the same as in the first method. Then begin stirring, and pass the current through the solution exactly as in the first method. When the 24,000 coulombs have been passed, pour the contents of the beaker into a sep funnel, dilute with 1000 ml of a 20% solution of salt in water, and extract four times with 200 ml portions of ethyl acetate.
The combined extracts, amounting to 800 ml, should be washed twice with 200 ml portions of a 20% solution of salt in water. The ethyl acetate solution contains the product epoxide. It should be evaporated under a vacuum to a volume of about 200 ml, then reacted with lithium iodide just as in the first method to yield about 20 grams of 2,4,5-trimethoxyphenylacetone. Recycling of solvents is possible with this method too. Ethyl acetate can be recovered during the vacuum evaporation by use of a dry-ice trap. Stackers The dimethyl-formamide can be recovered by vacuum distillation. The Journal Method A very effective alternative method exists for converting propenyl benzenes to phenylacetones. I know through mail received from the reading public that this method gives a yield of about 80% when used Practical LSD Manufacture 92 with isosafrole. Similar results can be expected when used with asarone. In spite of the high yields and simplicity of this Loss Loss Weight Weight reaction, I can't recommend its use. That's

because this procedure uses thallium(III) nitrate to oxidize the propenylbenzene to the corresponding phenylacetone. The thallium(III) ephedra sales nitrate gets reduced to thallium(I) nitrate. Both of these heavy-metal compounds are very poisonous and, unlike organic chemicals, the heavy metals persist forever in the environment, and accumulate in the body. You wa nt a bunch of thallium around the house about like you want to be kicked in the teeth with a heavy pair of boots. A further bad aspect of this method is its high cost. 100 grams sell for $150, and the high molecular weight of the compound means that a lot of it has to be used to get a moderate amount of product. One pound of thallium(ni) nitrate is required for a 1-molar batch. This method can be found in Tetrahedron Letters No. 60, pages 5275-80 (1970). To produce a one mole batch, dissolve one mole of propenylbenzene in some methanol, and put it into a one-gallon glass jug. In a beaker, dissolve one mole (448 grams) of thallium(HI) nitrate trihydrate in methanol. Then pour the thallium solution into the jug with the propenylbenzene, and stir at room temperature for 5 minutes. The thallium(I) nitrate formed by the reaction comes out of solution. It is removed by filtration. The propenylbenzene has at this point been converted to a ketal. This is hydrolyzed to the phenylacetone by shaking the filtrate with about 2000 ml of 1 molar sulfuric acid solution in water for about 5 minutes. The phenylacetone is then extracted out with a couple of portions of tolulene. This extract is then washed with 5% NaOH solution, then distilled or purified by conversion to the bisulfite addition product. 12 Studies On The Production OfTMA-2 93 Production of TMA-2, MDA, etc. from the Corresponding Phenylacetone There are three good methods for converting the phenylacetone to the psychedelic amphetamine. Choice number one is to use reductive amination with a hydrogenation bomb with Raney nickel, ammonia and alcohol solvent. See Journal of the American Chemical Society, Volume 70, pages 12811-12 (1948). Also see Chem. Abstracts from 1954, column 2097. This gives a yield of about 80% if plenty of Raney nickel is used. The preferred conditions for use with MDA is a temperature of 80 C, and a hydrogen pressure of 50 atmospheres. The drawback to this method is the need for a shaker device for the bomb, and also a heater. The use of platinum as the catalyst in the bomb works great when making MDMA, but gives lousy results when making MDA. There may be a way around this, however, for serious experimenters. It has been found in experiments with phenylacetone that a mixture of ammonia and ammonium chloride produces good yields of amphetamine (50%) when used in a bomb with platinum catalyst. Methylenedioxyphenylacetone is quite likely to behave similarly, along with other phenylacetones. To use this variation, the following materials are placed in the 1.5 liter champagne bottle hydrogenation device described in Chapter 11 of Secrets of Methamphetamine Manufacture, Third Edition: .5 gram platinum in 20 ml distilled water. If this platinum is in the form of PtO2 instead of reduced platinum metal catalyst obtained with borohydride, the experimenter must now reduce the platinum by pressurizing the bottle with hydrogen and stirring fo ching the effects, it was discovered that amphetamines could awaken dogs that were under anesthesia. This discovery led to the use of amphetamines, in pill form, to treat narcolepsy (Feldman et al., 1997). Amphetamines were also rumored to have been used in Japan, Britain, Germany, and the U.S. during World War II (Brecher 1972; Lovett, 1994; Feldman et al., 1997). U.S. and Japanese army personnel are said to have used amphetamines to stay awake and alert while assigned to especially long periods on duty (Feldman et al., 1997). Because of the use of amphetamines by Japanese soldiers, Japan “suffered a serious methamphetamine problem during early postwar years” (Suwaki, 1991). Amphetamine use became so common that college students in the 1950s and 1960s used amphetamines to stay awake all night to study for exams. Long-haul truckers named their routes after how much amphetamine was needed to make the trip. To get halfway across the U.S., truckers used “St. Louie,” and for a transcontinental truck run, “West Coast turnabouts” were used (Feldman et al., 1997). In the 1960s, California users of amphetamine began using speedballs, which are a combination of amphetamine and heroin taken intravenously. Physicians of the Haight-Ashbury Free Clinic in San Francisco tried to warn the public of the dangers of amphetamines by coining the term “speed kills.” Dr. D. Smith of the Haight-Ashbury Free Clinic said: In the 1970s the Haight-Ashbury area, of San Francisco, turned into one of the most violent areas of the city. It was a direct result of the amphetamine epidemic. In addition, we saw a great deal of amphetamine psychosis, © 2003 by CRC Press LLC from high doses of amphetamine producing paranoia, auditory, and visual hallucinations. We started getting a feel that the medical and the psychiatric system did not know how to handle drug epidemics. For example, I was also running the alcohol and drug abuse-screening unit at San Francisco General Hospital where with the diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia you treat with long-term psychotropic medication. With amphetamine psychosis you detoxify them and use a short-term course of psychotropic medication and get them into recove The technology of ancient wine making (open fermentation in crocks or vats) would only produce a six-percent alcohol content. This would be quickly reduced to acetic acid (vinegar). Ancient wine was produced exactly the same as modern vinegar. So, a stable vinegar solution was probably the basis of ancient wine. Vinegar is, however, not intoxicating. One explanation is that vinegar was used as a vehicle for carrying other drugs. Dried drug plants such as poppy (opium), datura, henbane, etc. being extracted with the vinegar. (With the possible exception of opium and ephedra, none of these other plants would really be pleasant in their effects.) Vinegar would then preserve these drugs in solution. This would allow bottling, transport and u cake is not colonized as quickly as the outside. Also, there is sufficient moisture in the cake at the start so there is no need to add water immediately. Advantage: The rice cake will produce many more mushrooms than it would have without adding moisture. Using this adaptation allows the nutrients in the rice cake to be almost totally consumed before the cake is exhausted. Disadvantages: Care should be taken when drilling the hole because there is no way to monitor for contamination inside the hole. Also, you will need to add water on a daily basis.

Adaptation-18: Continued Drying of Mushrooms During Storage You can place a small glass with a small amount of desiccant in the long term storage bag to continue to extract moisture from the mushrooms. A shot glass with 3/4 of an ounce of desiccant is sufficient to keep the humidity very low in the long term storage bag. A larger glass that is more stable might be a better choice in order to avoid an accident of spilling the desiccant inside the bag. (28 of 39) 5/1/2002 6:54:26 PM] How To Grow Magic Mushrooms The Magic Mushroom Growers Guide (page 4) Advantage: The mushrooms will continue to dry and their preservation is enhanced. Disadvantages: You will need to be careful not to knock the glass over and spill desiccant in the storage bag. This is only suitable if you can leave the bag in a stationary location. Back to Drying and Preservation of Mushrooms. table of contents. Adaptation-19: Reducing Output Of Ultra Sonic Humidifier The output of the ultra sonic humidifier can be reduced by changing the circuitry. Almost all ultra sonic humidifiers use a 5 K-ohm or 10 K-ohm potentiometer to control the output. By adding a 5 K-ohm or 10 K-ohm resister in series with the potentiometer, the original 'low' setting becomes the new 'high' setting. The humidity output can be turned down even lower than originally possible. Simply cut the wire going to the potentiometer and solder a similar sized resister (available at Radio Shack) in series. You may need to set the humidity control above the minimum setting once you make this modification. Note that this adaptation is mutually exclusive with Adaptation-21. If you try to combine them, it won't work. Advantage: This drastically reduces the suspended water particles emitted by the humidifier. However, the big advantage is that the humidifier uses significantly less water. It is possible to fill up the humidifier and leave on a trip for 10 days without having to add water.
