Love Drugs

Love Drugs is a sequel to Amphetamine Syntheses (2002) Expanded coverage of the synthesis of MDMA and other empathogens and stimulants.

Expanding the chemistry of empathogens. MDMA from scratch. Small and large scale production is described in detail. Hot new formulas abound. Piperonyl-acetone from both safrol and isosafrol. Multiple reduction methods using common and locally available metals.

MDA appeared in the 1960s and has been called the original love drug. It was the first in a series of molecules that produce empathy in humans. MDMA was appeared sporadically in the 1970s. MDEA followed ecstasy in the 1980s.

These molecules were controlled as they were being abused. Substituted phenyl amino-butanes have reduced abuse potential and greater safety margins. Yet, in 20 years, the development of safer entactogens has not taken place.

Love Drugs gives the reader a look at the most innovative chemistry for entactogen production. Explicit descriptions on safrol, apiol, asarone, dimethoxyallybenzene, etc. extraction from multiple botanical sources. Reviews of conventional syntheses with tips from the original chemists. Love Drugs is an inside look into the chemistry of the entactogens, present and future. Reactions have been translated into English. Millions across the globe have used MDMA as a therapeutic tool.

There is an infinite number of new entactogens on the horizon. 150+ references. Color cover. UV Laminated.
