Preparation of amphetamine

Amphetamine is practically the most popular drug substance. He was most in demand among teenagers in the fifties of the last century in Japan.

Initially, amphetamine was synthesized as a suppressant appetite, but after it was used as a medicine to relieve headaches, to relieve fatigue, amphetamine production has grown to industrial scale. The recipe for the preparation of amphetamine includes the chemical analogue formula of dopamine, and the action is similar to the effects of epinephrine and norepinephrine.

A distinctive feature of the action of this drug is its ability to include reserves of energy of the human body. A person who has taken amphetamine can stay up all night, work more productively and the like. At the same time, it is not a source of energy, it literally sucks this energy out of the body, drains its resources, which then need to be restored. As one would expect from this type of stimulant, after the active phase, a period of lethargy, apathy, drowsiness, decreased libido and so on begins.

Every schoolboy visiting biology knows in which situations in our body produces a sharp release of adrenaline: stress and fear. It causes speed of thought and clarity, an increase in the body's physical capacity, and the frequency of the heartbeat. The effect of amphetamine is similar, the body is constantly in a state of stress.

During combat sorties, American pilots, in order not to eat and sleep for a long time, to fly without exhaustion, regularly used this stimulant. In the future, this means was adopted by other armies of the world, in various arms.

A large number of crimes based on the distribution and manufacture of drugs, accounted for by amphetamine. The preparation of amphetamine for an interested person is not a secret and is quite affordable. The Internet is simply littered with instructions and video lessons of cooking this potion. But, despite the seeming simplicity, the preparation of amphetamine without knowledge in the fields of chemistry is not an easy task. Take at least a record of C9H13N (the chemical formula of amphetamine), it should say something to read it, except for a set of numbers and letters.

In any case, the preparation of amphetamine underground almost always produces a dirty product, with a different number of harmful, toxic impurities, a product that is dangerous for use. Well, since the underground have no interests in protecting national health, one can only guess about the cleanliness of the process of producing the drug.

As a proof, you can list the substances that require the production of amphetamine: sulfuric and hydrochloric acid, gasoline (technical acetone), mercury salt and many other similar ingredients. So include fantasy, imagine how all this stuff smokes, sniffs, injects into veins, muscles, and some "smarties" in the ass using an enema do not disdain.

The recipe for the preparation of amphetamine in clandestine manufacture may include incompatible substances in principle. It is necessary to note the ingenuity of underground pharmacists, in order to formally circumvent the laws prohibiting trafficking in narcotic substances, they created many chemical formulas where neutral substances are included in the composition of amphetamine. Since the list of the prohibited preparation consists of the definition of the formula, the "black" pharmacist modifies it and departs from the prosecution of the law.

At present, it can not be said that the preparation of amphetamine has been suspended. It is used in medicine, in the fight against excess weight, fatigue, sexual disorders. Although the society actively struggles with drug addiction and without a doctor's prescription, it is impossible to theoretically buy amphetamine, but in reality unscrupulous pharmacies sell these medicines without any permits. And drug addicts themselves admit that you can buy other medicines that have ample amphetamines.

For reference: the manufacture, storage and distribution of amphetamine is a criminal offense and involves a period of from three to seven years in prison, moreover with confiscation of property (CC RF Article 228).
