Psychedelic Resource List.Pdf A Note from the Author… The Psychedelic Resource List (PRL) was born in 1994 as a subscription-based newsletter. In 1996, everything that had previously been published, along with a bounty of new material, was updated and compiled into a book. From 1996 until 2004, several new editions of the book were produced. With each new version, a decrease in font size correlated to an increase in information. The task of revising the book grew continually larger. Two attempts to create an updated fifth edition both fizzled out. I finally accepted that keeping on top of all of the new books, businesses, and organizations, had become a more formidable challenge than I wished to take on. In any case, these days folks can find much of what they are looking for by simply using an Internet search engine. Even though much of the PRL is now extremely dated, it occurred to me that there are two reasons why making it available on the web might be of value. First, despite the fact that a good deal of the book’s content describes things that are no longer extant, certainly some of the content relates to writings that are still available and businesses or organizations that are still in operation. The opinions expressed regarding such literature and groups may remain helpful for those who are attempting to navigate the field for solid resources, or who need some guidance regarding what’s best to avoid. Second, the book acts as a snapshot of underground culture at a particular point in history. As such, it may be found to be an enjoyable glimpse of the psychedelic scene during the late 1990s and early 2000s. — Jon Hanna, February 2009 1 1 IMPORTANT NOTICE TO ALL WHO READ THIS BOOK! The DEA press release below should be considered if dealing with “research chemical” companies. Companies mentioned specifically by name in the press release may no longer be in business. Data obtained on 10/13/04 from www.usdoj.gov/dea/pubs/pressrel/pr072204.html. News Release FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 22, 2004 DEA ANNOUNCES ARRESTS OF WEBSITE OPERATORS SELLING ILLEGAL DESIGNER DRUGS WASHINGTON, DC – DEA Administrator Karen P. Tandy today announced the culmination of “Operation Web Tryp” that resulted in ten arrests and targeted five websites. Operation Web Tryp investigated Internet websites distributing highly dangerous designer drug analogues under the guise of “research chemicals” primarily shipped to the U.S. from China and India. These websites are known to have thousands of customers worldwide. One website operator is known to conduct estimated sales of $20,000 per week, while another is known to have been in business for more than five years. These websites sold substances that led to the fatal overdose of at least two individuals and 14 non-fatal overdoses. “The Internet has become the street corner for many drug users and traffickers. Drug pushers who use the Internet will find themselves out of business and behind bars,” Administrator Tandy said. “These dealers now enter into the privacy of our own homes to entice and sell destruction to our children veiled under the illusion of being safe and legal. The formulation of analogues is like a drug dealer’s magic trick meant to fool law enforcement. They didn’t fool us and we must educate our children so they are not fooled either. Today’s action will help prevent future deaths and overdoses, and will serve as notice for those dealing in designer drugs and the illegal use of the Internet.” ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS This operation resulted in the following website operators arrests on July 21, 2004: • WWW.RACRESEARCH.COM and WWW.DUNCANLABPRODUCTS.COM April Curtis and Doug Thompson, website operators of WWW.RACRESEARCH.COM, were arrested yesterday, July 21, in Arizona and Georgia, respectively. The arrests are based on charges of conspiracy to distribute controlled substance analogues out of the Southern District of New York. WWW.RACRESEARCH.COM has so far been linked to non-fatal overdoses of two college students. This investigation by DEA New York and the New York Police Department also uncovered the illegal distribution of designer drugs on WWW.DUNCANLABPRODUCTS.COM. This site was operated by Raymond Duncan and supplied by April Curtis. Duncan was arrested yesterday, July 21, in California based on charges of conspiracy to distribute controlled substance analogues. Both websites were voluntarily terminated. • WWW.PONDMAN.NU David Linder, website operator of WWW.PONDMAN.NU was arrested yesterday. This investigation was conducted by DEA and the Naval Criminal Investigative Service in Norfolk, VA. The above site, which purportedly sold landscape supplies, also sold designer drugs. Linder supplied these drugs to U.S.-based Navy personnel who later held rave-style parties to facilitate further distribution. To date, an overdose death of an 18-year-old male and three non-fatal overdoses causing serious bodily injuries have been linked to WWW.PONDMAN.NU. Linder is charged with conspiracy to dis- tribute controlled substance analogues out of the Eastern District of Virginia. This website will be voluntarily termi- nated. • WWW.AMERICANCHEMICALSUPPLY.COM DEA Baton Rouge, LA initiated this investigation that resulted in yesterday’s arrest of Michael Burton, operator of WWW.AMERICANCHEMICALSUPPLY.COM. Charges against Burton and an unidentified coconspirator include ille- gal distribution with enhanced penalties for causing death, aiding and abetting, and forfeiture out of the Middle Dis- trict of Louisiana. A restraining order will be issued to prevent use of this website. • WWW.OMEGAFINECHEMICALS.COM DEA San Diego yesterday arrested Thomas Kasper, Joseph Kasper, Beth Badrak, and Elaine Villalobos, all California residents, on conspiracy charges to distribute controlled substance analogues, distribution of controlled substance ana- logues to individuals under the age of 21, and money laundering out of the Southern District of California. These four operated WWW.OMEGAFINECHEMICALS.COM. In addition to the arrests, DEA used warrants to search the Omega Business address, and the residence of Beth Badrak and Tom Kasper in Santa Barbara, CA. A seizure warrant will be served on the Omega website. Two bank accounts were also seized. BACKGROUND ON DESIGNER DRUGS FROM OPERATION WEB TRYP The products sold by the above mentioned websites are synthetic substances chemically identified as tryptamines, pipera- zines, and phenylethylamines [sic]. Some of these substances are specifically restricted under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) while others, when intended for human consumption, are controlled under the Controlled Substance Analogue Enforcement Act (CSAEA). Prior to the CSAEA, chemists would cause slight changes in the molecular structure of a con- trolled substance to circumvent the CSA. The CSAEA was enacted to arm law enforcement with the tools needed to stay one step ahead of the drug dealers’ innovations. On the street and in Internet chat rooms these substances go by innocuous names such as “Foxy Methoxy” and “DIPT.” Many young people are led to believe that these substances are a form of “legal” Ecstasy or LSD because they produce similar hallucinogenic effects. Adolescents and young adults are primary abusers of these chemicals. Many have the false impression that they are not as harmful or addictive as mainstream drugs such as heroin or cocaine. This is a highly dangerous emerging drug trend. Because the recommended dosages can vary by as little as a milligram, any slight miscalculation can cause fatal results. OVERDOSE VICTIMS In April 2002, an 18-year-old male in Hancock, New York died after consuming a chemical obtained from WWW.PONDMAN.NU. A 19-year-old male friend of the decedent later confirmed using similar chemicals obtained from WWW.PONDMAN.NU that resulted in him suffering from seizures, floating spots in his vision, memory lapses, uncontrol- lable teeth grinding and large lumps that would appear and disappear periodically on his face and neck. In March 2004, a 22-year-old male resident of St. Francisville, Louisiana died after ingesting a substance he believed to be similar to Ecstasy. When found by his mother he asked to be driven to the hospital where he died three days later. His body temperature had reached an astounding 108 degrees. It was later found that the substance used was sent from WWW.AMERICANCHEMICALSUPPLY.COM, one of the targeted websites in this investigation. These website operators attempted to give an appearance of legitimacy to their websites by presumably selling these chemi- cals to bona fide researchers; however, a review of customer lists revealed purchasers with e-mail addresses such as acidtripo420@; ecstasylight@; madtriper17@; moontripperdipt@; partys_with_glow_sticks@; professor@; psychedelic_stoner@; and ravergirlny@. SPECIAL THANKS AND RECOGNITION These enforcement actions demonstrate the DEA’s steadfast commitment to identifying and preventing any illegal drug distribution through the use of the Internet. The success of this operation could not have taken place without the coopera- tion and coordination of the following: DEA and US Attorney’s Office, Albuquerque, NM DEA and US Attorney’s Office, Baton Rouge, LA DEA, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Ward County Narcotics Task Force, North Dakota Bureau of Criminal Inves- tigations, and US Attorney’s Office, North Dakota Food and Drug Administration and US Postal Inspection Service, Minnesota DEA, New York Police Department and US Attorney’s Office, New York, NY DEA, Naval Criminal Investigative Service, and US Attorney’s Office, Norfolk, VA DEA, Food and Drug Administration, US Postal Inspection Service, Internal Revenue Service, and US Attorney’s Office, San Diego, CA Federal Bureau of Investigation, Santa Maria, CA US Forestry Service and Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office, Santa Barbara, CA DEA, Las Vegas, NV DEA, Riverside, CA DEA, Phoenix, AZ DEA, Macon, GA 2 FOURTH EDITION Jon Hanna 3 This book is sold for educational and informational purposes only.

In this work, the phytochemical profile of aerial and radicular parts of Coryphantha macromeris (Engelm.) Britton & Rose growing under greenhouse conditions was qualitatively investigated for the first time by means of modern ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-PDA-HESI-Orbitrap-MS/MS). The UHPLC-PDA-HESI-Orbitrap-MS/MS analysis indicated a high complexity in phenolic metabolites. In our investigation, 69 compounds were detected and 60 of them were identified. Among detected compounds, several phenolic acids, phenolic glycosides, and organic acids were found. Within this diversity, 26 metabolites were exclusively detected in the aerial part, and 19 in the roots.

  • EEG and Behavioral Effects in Animals of Some Amphetamine Derivatives with Hallucinogenic Properties
    BEHAVIORAL BIOLOGY, 7, 401-414 (1972), Abstract No. 1-39R EEG and Behavioral Effects in Animals of Some Amphetamine Derivatives with Hallucinogenic Properties V. FLORIO, J. A. FUENTES, H. ZIEGLER and V. G. LONGO Laboratori di Chimica Terapeutica, Istituto Superiore di Sanita, Rome, Italy A study on the central effects of four methoxy-substituted ampheta- mines, of myristicin, and of macromerine has been carried out using rats, rabbits, and cats bearing chronically implanted electrodes. In the rat and in the rabbit the amphetamine derivatives gave rise to a syndrome consisting of a mixture of depression and excitation. Activation of the EEG occurred after small doses of all the drugs, while high doses induced the appearance of spikes and, in some instances, of a grand mal seizure. In the rat, neurovegetative disturbances (vasodilatation) and ejaculation were observed with some of the compounds. Myristicin and macromerine influenced only slightly the EEG and the behavior. The cats, which were trained to an instrumental reward discrimination response, proved to be the most sensitive animal to the effect of these substances. The four amphetamine derivatives, in appropriate dosage, blocked conditioned behavior and caused bizarre behavioral ("hallucinatory") patterns. The behavioral alterations were in- dependent from the modifications of the EEG. A clear-cut EEG activation has been observed only after DOM, while the other derivatives caused a mixed tracing and, with higher doses, synchronization. The correlation between the central activity of these compounds in the various animal species tested in these experiments and their hallucinogenic properties in man indicate that the conditioned cat is the best suited animal for research in this field, since a good relationship exists between the order of potency in disrupting the conditioned response and the human data.

    PHARMACOGNOSY Hallucinogens, Narcotics and Common Poisonous Plants Dr. Raman Dang Professor Al-Ameen College of Pharmacy Hosur Road, Opp. Lalbagh main Gate Bangalore – 560 027 (12-9-2007) CONTENTS Hallucinogens Examples of Plant Hallucinogens Narcotics Opium Poisonous Plants Examples of Poisonous Plants 1 Hallucinogens Introduction: Hallucinogens are natural and synthetic (synthesized) substances that, when ingested (taken into the body), significantly alter one's state of consciousness. Hallucinogenic compounds often cause people to see (or think they see) random colors, patterns, events, and objects that do not exist. People sometimes have a different perception of time and space, hold imaginary conversations, believe they hear music and experience smells, tastes, and other sensations that are not real. The other names of hallucinogens are Cartoon acid, Microdot, California sunshine, Psilocybin, Magic mushrooms. Many types of substances are classified as hallucinogens, solely because of their capacity to produce such hallucinations. These substances are sometimes called "pyschedelic," or "mind- expanding" drugs. They are generally illegal to use in the United States, but are sometimes sold on the street by drug dealers. A few hallucinogens have been used in medicine to treat certain disorders, but they must be given under controlled circumstances. Hallucinogens found in plants and mushrooms were used by humans for many centuries in spiritual practice worldwide. Unlike such drugs as barbiturates and amphetamines (which depress or speed up the central nervous system, respectively) hallucinogens are not physically addictive (habit-forming). The real danger of hallucinogens is not their toxicity (poison level), but their unpredictability. The actual causes of such hallucinations are chemical substances in the plants.
