Basic Drug Manufacture

This book contains complete information on the procedures for synthesiz­ ing mescaline, psilocybin, LSD, DMT, STP, MDA, THC and cocaine. It also gives pertinent data on chemicals called for, such as toxicity and fire hazards, chemical and physical properties, legal risks, alternate uses, and advice on handling. Another chapter explains terminology which may be unfamiliar to the reader and describes special equipment with basic in­ structions for those who wish to know how to build the equipment them­ selves. In another section we clarify the legal problems o f ordering certain “ watched” chemicals and tell how chemists circumvent the danger o f being caught. Despite the thoroughness o f this manual we hope that no one will construe that we are encouraging the manufacture, sale, or use o f illicit drugs. Quite the contrary, we wish to remind our readers o f the grave legal repercussions to which the manufacturer, vendor, and user may expose himself. We publish this book because we feel that knowledge is the birth­ right o f every individual who seeks it.
