All these fucking people taking chemistry and pharmaceutical classes in college but nobody knows how to make quaaludes anymore?! What the fuck kinda bullshit is this? Someone explain it to me please.

All the precursors are sold by legit chemical companies. It's not easily diverted and most distributors like sigma Aldrich can't be bullshitted. They won't sell a lot of things to you unless it's a business adress. So it would be incredibly risky to aquire precursors, relitivley difficult synth compared to other options, not a huge market really compared to other products. The active dose is high so it's not as profitable and they are dangerous. Nobody wants to be the only one pumping out a drug in the US, you'd get dea attention immediately. Why not just make mdma, it's easier, the precursors are rediculously easy to aquire/make and the profit margin and demand are all there. Nobody will believe your pressed pills are ludes and not just xanax

Jesus Christ the only reason anyone under 30 even wants ludes is because of the Wolf of Wallstreet. The only reason anyone over 30 wants them is because they're nostalgic for the good old days.

Im not one of those chemistry or pharmaceutical people but my guess would have something to do with dosage.

An active dose of methaqualone is around 100mg i believe? Something like alp is active at 1mg.

Itd be much easier (particularly with black market products) to make a small amount of something strong than a large amount of something not so strong.

Drug producers dont care about nostalgia. Just profits.

But thats just my guess

Nobody wants to waste time with ludes. The whole drug thing on WoW was played up. He used it to try to reduce his sentence and blame addiction. Not saying he didn't do drugs. I'm sure he did. All Wall Street guys do.

Point being there are better drugs out there. Like asking why people don't make lamb skin condoms. There's something better.

Bill Cosby still has some. Tell you what I did them once. So all you need is a 1.5 litre bottle of Vodka. Drink the entire thing as fast possible. Wake up next day bloody and bruised. Will not remember a fucking thing. You can ask your buddy that dragged you home.

Fuck that was fun lets do that again.

There were people that enjoyed it. Very few. Same slobs that took barbs before they went to the bar. Sharp ones let me tell you. 70's bartards. Drooling all over themselves. Vomiting on their GF.

Hope you find some fun stuff.

ive atleast looked into it. precursors are a bit odd


[1 Points] None:

Anyone with an above average understanding of chemistry would not make barbs, there is a reason barbs are not wide spread anymore and it's not because of misuse. Benzos are way safer.

It's a novelty item, just take a bar it's the same thang

People do synthesize it. It's just not a target for clandestine chemists because there just isn't a huge demand and market for it. Most people would be hesitant to eat some powder you told them was quaaludes, even if they had an interest in paying for the real deal. Clandestine synthesis of methaqualone is apparently popular in south africa though. They like to smoke it over there. A friend of mine actually got some methaqualone powder sent to him once and that's where it came from.

The labs catch on fire a lot for a reason

I agree with what everybody is saying here. Mainly, the interest level is low and the standard dose is 300 mg, so it's kind of like mescaline where there is a low profit margin because the mg dosage is so high. Easy to make though, if you have the precursors. Precursors that are problematic are acetic anhydride and o-toluidine, although there are workarounds but they add to the complexity and expense.

They get at us while we are young, far before you understand the wonderful world of drugs. Not to mention, they put us through that D.A.R.E. class or whatever it's called. They just want us to make miracles, not let things actually work. Might as well throw your new born(s) into the fire guys, it's the end of the fucking world. I might as well start burning 100 dollar bills in my ash tray to stay warm.
