DMT (dimethyltryptamine) is one of the most profound and well-known psychedelics on Earth. This powerful psychedelic is surprisingly easy to make.

In […]
2C-B Breakdown
Everybody has heard of MDMA (ecstasy) and LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide) — they’ve become staples in the world of mind-altering substances. But there’s another popular psychoactive substance that’s been residing in the shadows since the 1980s. This substance is called 2C-B.

What is Alpha,N-DMT? (α,N-DMT)
Alpha,N-DMT or α,N-DMT (α,N-dimethyltryptamine) is a DMT analog synthesized by Alexander Shulgin and documented in his book TiHKAL. Shulgin experimented with the molecule on himself, but the effects did not impress him, and he ended his second trip report with a simple “Why?” Despite lacking the elf-infested fireworks of N, N-DMT, the compound may be of interest to […]

In this guide, we’re going to take a deep dive into the world of ETH-LAD — one […]
What is ALD-52?
ALD-52 has been around for a long time. It was first invented in the late 1950s by Albert Hofmann — the same chemist responsible for discovering LSD and psilocybin. ALD-52 didn’t become popular until the late 1960s when a rumor started circulating within California that claimed a particularly strong batch of acid known as Orange Sunshine contained ALD-52 […]

How to use reagents to test MDMA
We know there are still plenty of things sold as MDMA that are, well, not MDMA. If you can get to a drug checking clinic, or access drug checking at a festival or event, this is the best way to test your substances.
