  • The Australian bush is full of drugs, you just have to know where to look. We went foraging for naturally-occurring substances in Victoria’s Dandenong Ranges.

      There’s actually a very tongue in cheek segment they did around… I want to say 2008.
      It’s a weird segment but if you know about one of the plants they talk about then you might be inclined to research the others.
      I think they showed how easy it was to propagate salvia, scrape bark from acacias, and explained how those pesky mushrooms could appear in your backyard if you wanted that to NOT happen

      @benvermeulen1915 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Bark is harvested and steam distilled. Sas oil (saffrole) is collected through fractional distillation and isomerized yeilding isosaffrole. Isosaffrole is converted to MDMA through means of reductive amination, I believe using the Wacker technique, which should be common knowledge to any good speed chef. Although i may be slightly innacurrate in this process, certainly a savvy enough high schooler would be capable of achieving this. But.. why would you bother when Belgian and Isreali chemists already do it better for much cheaper? That being said, i have seen some pretty fucking intense Ozzy extacy labs.
