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 remedyappetite suppressant, but after it was used as a medicine to relieve headaches, to relieve fatigue, amphetamine production has grown to an 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 drugis its ability to include the 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 you would expect from this kind of stimulant, after the active phase, a period of lethargy, apathy, drowsiness, decreased libido and so on begins.
Every schoolboy who attended biology knows, inwhat situations in our body produces a sharp release of adrenaline: stress and fear. It causes speed of thought and clarity, increase in the body's physical capabilities, 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,to not 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 ondistribution and manufacture of drugs, account for 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 at least to read it, except for a set of numbers and letters.
In any case, the preparation of amphetamineclandestine almost always produces a dirty product with a different number of harmful, toxic impurities, which is dangerous for use. Well, since the underground has no interests in protecting national health, one can only guess at the cleanliness of the process of producing the drug.
As a proof, you can list the substances,which requires the production of amphetamine: it is sulfuric and hydrochloric acid, gasoline (technical acetone), salt of mercury and many other similar ingredients. So include fantasy, imagine how all this muck is smoked, sniffed, injected into veins, muscles, and some "clever" in the ass using an enema do not disdain.
The recipe for amphetamine in the undergroundmanufacture may include, in principle, incompatible substances. It is necessary to note the ingenuity of underground pharmacists, in order to formally circumvent the laws prohibiting the trafficking of 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 the present time, it can not be said thatthe preparation of amphetamine is suspended. It is used in medicine, in the fight against excess weight, fatigue, sexual disorders. Although the society is actively struggling 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 drugs that have ample amphetamines.
For reference: manufacture, storage and distribution of amphetamine is a punishable offense and involves a period of three to seven years in prison, moreover with confiscation of property (CC RF Article 228).
