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.

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 Carl Epling, who first described S. divinorum, reported the newer as Ban Ephedra Overturned having a blue corolla, and it has been illustrated this way in the literature (Epling and Jativa-M, 1962; Schultes, 1976).

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 supplement has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for digestive problems. Studies are finding these new ephedra-free diet pills carry some side effects that are similar to ephedra products. This botanical contains a compound similar to ephedra, called synephrine. Both of these compounds stimulate the central nervous system and are thought to increase the metabolism. Also both raise blood pressure and heart rate, according to research on Advantra Z and Xenadrine EFX at the University of California, San Francisco. Dr. Christine Haller, lead author of the University of California, San Francisco study, points out that little research has been done to determine whether or not these new ephedra-free diet pills are safe or effective. She says the main concern about these new diet pills is the risk they pose to people with elevated blood pressure and conditions like diabetes: two medical conditions which are common in overweight and obese individuals. “This does indicate that people should use caution when using these ephedra-free diet drugs]” Haller says. In 1927, the U.S. medical community began to use ephedrine, which is the active ingredient in ma haung, to open bronchial passages in patients with asthma. As the supplies of Ephedra vulgaris began to dwindle, pharmaceutical companies began to search for a synthetic alternative. Amphetamine was first synthesized in 1887, but because there was very little interest in it, the substance went unnoticed until it became the alternative to ephedrine (Feldman et al., 1997). By the 1930s, all the major effects of amphetamine were known. While resear

You do not want water leaking into the jars and changing the ratio. The

inoculate the cultures and start the first phase of the growing cycle.
The needle of the spore syringe must be sterile. If your fingers or

about its condition, use a cigarette lighter to heat the entire needle.
Heat it until it glows red. Let it cool for a few minutes and squirt some

Shake the syringe.
Make sure the spores are mixed well within the

jars should not sit flat on the bottom of the pan. Too much heat can
transfer directly to the jars and cause a loss of moisture. You can place
a wash cloth inside the pan and set the jars directly on the wash cloth
to help prevent too much heat from transferring to the jars.
Step 9:
Let the jars cool slowly. Leave them covered in the pan that was used
to sterilize them. Let them cool completely. The jars need to be at or
close to room temperature in order to inoculate.
The spores will be
killed if the jars are not cool enough when they are inoculated. It will
take several hours to cool sufficiently. You may hear sounds as the jars
cool. This is normal.
Step 10:
Now comes the good part. Inoculation of the culture jars. Assuming
you have a viable, sterile spore syringe, you are now in a position to
inoculate the cultures and start the first phase of the growing cycle.
The needle of the spore syringe must be sterile. If your fingers or
anything other than the lid or contents of the culture jars comes in
contact with it, assume it is no longer sterile. If there is any doubt
about its condition, use a cigarette lighter to heat the entire needle.
Heat it until it glows red. Let it cool for a few minutes and squirt some
of the solution out of the syringe.
Shake the syringe. Make sure the spores are mixed well within the
syringe. This can be accomplished more easily if you pull the plunger
back on the syringe to get a little air into the syringe.
Remove the tin foil from each culture jar as you prepare to inoculate it.
Insert the needle of the syringe as far as it will go into a hole in the lid
of the culture jar and get the needle to press against the glass. Examine
the next figure for a simple diagram of how things should look. Inject
1/4 cc of solution at a site under each hole in the lid. Adaptation-4 A

the four holes in the lid while the jar is being sterilized. If you poked
your holes in the lid such that the sharp edges are pointing up, be
careful not to rip or puncture the tin foil. If you need to, you can add a
second or even a third piece of tin foil to make sure water will not drip
into the holes in the lid.
Step 8:
Now the culture jars need to be sterilized. Place the jars in a large
kitchen pot and add water so that water comes half way up the side of
the jars. Bring the water to a slow boil and place the lid on the pot.
From the time the water starts to boil, the jars need 1 hour to be

sterilized.
Water should not be bubbling and splashing all over the
place. The jars should not be floating around in the water. The
substrate in the culture jars has the right amount of water in it already.
You do not want water leaking into the jars and changing the ratio. The
jars should not sit flat on the bottom of the pan. Too much heat can
transfer directly to the jars and cause a loss of moisture. You can place

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.
