I cant help but wonder about the nature of these two unnamed unstudied unsynthesized and generally unknown (tentative) psychostimulants - and by "wonder about the nature" i mean to say "obsess over the possibility" that they will be the most earth shatteringly powerful stimulants known to man which will usher in a new and sleepless era of hyperproductivity and total self-realization.

the molecule on the left is an analog of desoxypipradrol featuring the notorious 3,4-dicholoro substitution which sextuples the potency of methylphenidate, when added to the already perfect desoxypipradrol it could produce a stimulant fully active in the tens of micrograms.

the molecule on the right is the alpha-propyl homolog of buphedrone, elongating the alpha substituent in cathinones causes an increase in potency (the opposite effect is seen amphetamines) so one could imagine this chemical having a dosage in the general league of MDPV (whose subjective effects are toxic and miserable) but with no concern over a pro-oxidant dihydroxy conjugation ready metabolite (is that a legit concern ive never been sure?) i think its name should be penthedrone which has a nice ring to it - and im done.

UPDATE

OK, this blog does not really exist. This time last year I felt as if I should blog but my blog spirit is weak. I may try to change that though.

I'm speaking in a lineup with Laurie Anderson and David Wilson on Halloween at the Cantor Film Center, I will be talking about TTX, DiPT and other pharmacological oddities.

On November 4th I'm talking in a lineup with Alex Grey and Daniel Pinchbeck at Webster Hall: the topic will be ayahuasca.

Three new VBS episodes are being edited, and the new best of Vice book is out and filled with incredible articles including a revised and corrected version of The Magic Jews as well as A Giant Chinese Fingertrap Made Of rainbows Tried to Suck Me Into The Sky

FRIGHTENINGLY LARGE DRUG COLLECTION DESTROYED (NOT MINE (SERIOUSLY))

I'm not sure if these three pictures are real or if it's a sadistic prank made to freak-out drug addicts. The 4-methylaminorex and crystalline PCP are especially impressive as are the several thousand hits of LSD. At the very least it would appear he mixed up his coca leaves with some wrappers in a large foil envelope?

Maybe it's performance art: the spectacle of destroying a drug collection.

2011 Update: I have spoken with the man who once possessed this collection and it was indeed real and he did actually destroy it (at his girlfriend's behest).

A long time ago I wrote an article for High Times about bong aesthetics, which they did not print. These are some drawing I did three years ago.
