SOOOOOOOO, let’s keep this classy. First, obviously, we know that MDMA is illegal in every country (unless you can find some random island where it’s not – or, international waters? Not sure about international waters, now that I think about it… Or Liberland? I don’t know what the situation is with MDMA in Liberland, to be honest… Ahh, I’m convoluting everything now…. OK, Chances are, if you’re reading this, yes, it’s illegal… And I’m not trying to encourage anyone to go out and take MDMA. That’s not what this post is. I’m not encouraging drug use. So OK…  – For the rest of these chemicals, they are alternatives in the sense that they are for research purposes only (meaning no human or animal consumption) and yes, there are alternatives to MDMA (3,4-methylenedioxy-N-methyl-amphetamine) >>> in molecular structure. <<<<  

Read on if you are interested. It get’s, to quote Yuri, “All-too-sciency now,” but, that’s how it goes..

None of these are allowed to be consumed, and I take no responsibility for anything you do with this info. I’m just a guy sharing INFO.  Seriously. All the links presented? You must of legal age in your country to view these links and/or purchase any of the things you may or may not want to. It’s up to you to figure all that out… Again, I’m not personally encouraging anyone  to buy chemicals, I’m not personally selling anything, I’m a middle man with info. So… This paragraph is extra-clarification on that….   ANYWHO….

((FIRST, a bit about MDMA: it’s is a stimulant and entactogenic drug of the phenethylamine and also an  amphetamine class. MDMA has become widely known as “ecstasy” (shortened to “E“, “X“, or “XTC“), usually referring to its street form (although this term may also include the presence of possible adulterants/people putting fucked up non-mdma chemz in there to try to make a quick buck on the street). I discovered there is a term in the The U.K. called “Mandy” to describe it… I didn’t know that. Well.. um.. OK, NOW I do ..

MDMA was first synthesized in 1912 by Anton Köllisch as designed as  a medicine to stop abnormal bleeding. Over the course of 65 years, MDMA was largely put on the shelf and forgotten, but there were reports of it being used recreationally as far back as 1970… (Can you imagine that? Way back then, somebody rolling in ’70?) Super hero / titan-chemist Alexander Shulgin is credited for popularizing the use of MDMA in psychotherapy in the late 1970s.

When Molly “hit the streets,” it was called XTC, eventually it became cut with other chemicals, and now, xtc has a bad reputation as a cut-drug, and pure mdma being thought of as more unadulterated. In fact, though, what is thought of as pure mdma might not be at all, it might just as much be cut with something, and the cycle continues, as it does in certain types of black markets.

Here’s the molecular structure of MDMA (and for further reading, consult wikipedia… a lot of folks head to erowid as their ‘go-to,’ but I’ve found that site a bit cumbersome. You want to find out what a person’s experience is, and then halfway through they mention they were on H or something, which completely destroys the purity of the human-testing (which is not allowed anyway. Just reiterating that point)… But here’s MDMA:

Of course, the war on drugs was in full effect, and Ronald Reagan, being the big dick that he was, pushed to make it illegal.  It was scheduled as a controlled substance in 1985. Actually, one of the main tests they used to “PROVE” it’s lack of safety was completely falsified. They tested and showed a brain scan of someone on methamphetamine, with holes in the brain, and they claimed it was MDMA. Tsssk, tsssk. Naughty fucking government.

Anyway, there are other chemz out there that are similiar.

5-mapb is a similiar one… And for all the info on that, here’s a quick wiki link

And here’s its structure:

Notice anything? Well… Yea. It’s pretty damn similiar to MDMA, structurally, and for research purposes, it’s legal, if I’m not mistaken. An oxygen was taken off the molecule, which I’m sure makes a difference, but I mean… PRETTY….PRETTTTTYYY similiar…

So what next?

Well, let me tell you what’s next.

5-EAPB

What the fuck is that??

It’s wiki-pasting time: 5-EAPB (1-(benzofuran-5-yl)-N-ethylpropan-2-amine) is an entactogenic amphetamine which is structurally related to 5-MAPB and 5-APB. It might be predicted to show similar effects to these drugs in humans, but the pharmacology of 5-EAPB remains unstudied as of 2013.

PLEASE do your homework on this one (and what I mean by that is look up as much information online and [if possible] offline, as you can. It’s supposedly a strong thing. There could always be some idiot who decided to take it, and end up taking too much and dies. I’m not joking. THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED. THIS IS SERIOUS. AT LEAST ONE PERSON HAS DIEAD FROM THIS. As I said::::: ABSOLUTELY NONE of this is intended for human consumption. Please read up as much as possible about this one if you are curious about doing chemical (non-human/animal) analysis on it. For real. No sarcasm here. I’m trying to emphasize how serious this chemical is.

Want a picture of it for comparison? Most of what I found looked SO similiar to 5-MAPB. But, what I do know is that it’s about $100 USD (more or less) for 5 grams of it. Anyway, you can get that 5-EAPB here. No, that’s not a joke. You can get it. It’s legal in the US, but check to see if it’s legal where you are, and that goes for all chemicals listed on this site…

What else?

As far as other entactogens, there is Ethylone. 

Ethylone, also known as 3,4-methylenedioxy-N-ethylcathinone (MDEC, bk-MDEA), is research chemical classified as possible entactogen, stimulant, and psychedelic of the phenethylamine and cathinone chemical classes. It is the β-ketoanalogue of MDEA.

Looking for that, it’s slightly cheaper than 5-eapb, and you can pick it up here or click the graphic o it below….

(No, I’m very serious. )

Yep. Any photos of it?

WHY YES!

Yes, a lot of the entactogens look similar. As a matter of fact, if you’re curious….. which you probably are, if you’ve gotten this far, here, here are many (but not all) entactogens and their molecular structures. Notice the similarities that so many of them share. It’s just very interesting to see them all together and compare like this: (you might want to zoom in for a closer look, by the way).

Yes, they all look relatively similar (well, not all of them) but they are each unique.  Entactogens are a very unique class of chemz. You might have to squint, but if you can’t see it, you can always look it up on Google. Search for entactogen molecules. Or go to PubChem.

So, I hope this post is not seen as too gratuitous, I’m hoping to help show people that there’s a lot of interesting science behind some of these chemz we’ve heard about over the years.  So, I guess that’s it for now.

SCIENCE!

This page is getting a ton of traffic – which is good. But seriously, the chemicals I described are for research purposes only. I don’t know how many times I can say that, and I take no responsibility for what you do with them, but I will say, once again, they are strictly NOT for human/animal consumption. Again, that’s no joke. I know, sometimes I’m sarcastic on this site, but as far as these chemz go, I’m being completely serious. No animal/human consumption of any kind.

OH, and I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the new sample pack I just put out: it’s for producers who want that New Orleans Bounce sound… There’s a preview on the link, too, so you can hear what you’re getting.

So, here’s that bounce pack: (it’s NOT expensive, and there are NO other royalty-free bounce packs ANYHERE ONLINE… So… check it out)

Hey, btw, thanks for reading all of this article… Here’s a photo of an old TR-66. Yes, it’s random…  People used to make beats with this, though. I plan to release the samples, soon. I got a TR-68 but I’d love to get a TR-66 on this site… Looks nasty.

And here’s a photo of a pretty pin-up girl listening to old vinyls. She can’t figure out WHAT to listen to – oh wait, nevermind, she’s got that new StrangeFlow record. Good. Good.

peace!
