Quaalude (“kway-lewd”) or methaqualone (“meth-uh-kway-loan”), is something most people are only familiar with from movies and the news. It’s back in the spotlight because Bill Cosby, as part of an on-going rape scandal, admitted in a deposition to date raping a woman with them. The drug is an infamous downer, a powerful one, a highly […]

2C-E or “Europa” is a synthetic psychedelic phenethylamine hallucinogen. It’s a powerful drug that’s like setting off mental fireworks, bringing a bounty of colors, sounds, sights, and thoughts that you wouldn’t have had otherwise. It’s a vacation from the vacation of the ordinary. The colorless oil is not for the faint of heart. It’s strong […]

Methoxetamine, or MXE, is an exotic new dissociative anesthetic drug structurally related to ketamine. It first emerged in 2010, synthesized for the express purpose to be more powerful than ketamine with less toxicity. It has a strange property, action at serotonin, the same receptor that MDMA works on. Methoxetamine is a barely 5-year-old drug. However, […]

IBISWorld, a market research firm, has released a report showing that Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) drug sales are booming, and by 2020, will rake in $17.5 billion. It’s not just a loosening of diagnostic criteria that is making it so profitable. Workers can’t survive on the meagre earnings of a single job, and students […]

Palcohol, powdered alcohol, approved last year then revoked days later, has returned, and they’re looking to be on the shelves as early as this summer. While ludicrous sounding, powdered alcohol is a neat chemistry trick. Cyclodextrins are a type of carbohydrate molecule that are, as the name might imply, circular. In the center of the […]

Diclazepam, clonazolam, flubromazelam are three new designer benzodiazepines drugs that have the five classic benzo properties — they are sedative, hypnotic, anxiolytic, muscle relaxant and anticonvulsant. To translate into normal speak: Benzos will make you chill, take a nap, stop worrying, loosen up, and — if you happen to be seizing — end your seizure. […]

The Feast of St. Valentine has been corrupted and stolen by Hallmark to sell cringeful punny greeting cards, chocolate corn syrup bombs, and upsold meals at restaurants you wouldn’t go to otherwise. Fuck off mass-produced mandatory affection; what I truly love is chemistry. Poison is an exotic chemical meant to hurt or kill. In the […]

DiPT or N,N-diisopropyltryptamine is a very unusual tryptamine psychedelic hallucinogen. Despite its relation to DMT and LSD, which produce visual effects as well as auditory effects, DiPT causes primarily auditory effects. Instead of seeing the walls warp and patterns fractalize, it morphs sounds, like music, voices. If you’re the psychedeli-curious type who wants to experience […]

Quaaludes (methaqualone), the wiggliest sedative-hypnotic staple of ‘70’s discotheques, might be making a retro comeback in Britain. VICE News has obtained statistics of drug seizures by British law enforcement and found an important precursor chemical used to make Quaaludes. Precursors are chemicals needed in the production of another compound. In 2012, British authorities seized a […]

Phenibut (brand name Noofen) is an anxiety-relieving drug that feels sort of like GHB or alcohol, and has been gaining attention recently because it’s 100% legal and has chillaxative properties. It’s a derivative of the GABA neurotransmitter that mediates the effects of drugs like alcohol, GHB, and benzos. Widely sold on the internet as a […]
