Chem major looking to make some drugs

I'm looking to start making drugs to sell on the darknetmarkets, and I'm wondering what's easy to make for someone that's new to this sort of thing. When it comes to the chemistry itself I know my shit, and whatever it is I want it to be safe/top quality if I'm going to put the effort forward to do this. So far the only drug I've ever made was DMT, and not only is that not very profitable it takes almost no knowledge of chemistry to do. My goal is to someday manufacture lsd, but that looks like it requires some expensive equipment. I can probably spend around $30k to get started, a buddy of mine sells fakeIDs on the darknet and up until recently made bank doing it, he's willing to spot me the necessary funds to get started.

You're a shitty chem major if you're saying you've "made" DMT. Are you a freshmen? You say you know your shit but from the sounds of it you're more new to this than you realize.

If you don't even know how to do literature searches for drug syntheses on your own, smh.

You've extracted, not "made" DMT.

If you want to synthesize something, start off with methcathinone. It's a really easy synthesis. Don't start with anything more complicated because you don't know how good your lab skills are until you've tested it, and it would be a damn shame if you dropped more than $200 on anything more than a 3-step synthesis just so you end up with a bunch of inert crap, or worse, something caustic/toxic.

May j be frank with you?

As someone with a Ph.D in chemistry and almost ten years working in pharma R&D, you don't want to start making drugs and selling them on the dnms.

I could spent the next 35 hours telling you why but it won't matter. I'm not being snarky.

Tons of chem undergrad students get exactly the idea you have. Stay in school, get your graduate degree in a specialized field and you'll do better in industry, or even academia, than you will making drugs.

First checkout Tikhal and Pikhal, they are the bibles on the subject.

Secondly, the first two I would start with personally would be meth and molly, as there is always a demand for them. Your biggest issue through all of this is not equipment costs, but the ability to locate a good supplier of precursors.

The next easiest after DMT is probably GHB. The DMT market is pretty saturated already anyway, so you aren't gonna be making huge profits with that much competition.

Look up the Sandmeyer Reation of GABA to GBL Here's a well written procedure for it

It requires very easy to find precursors that won't raise any flags. Plus if you are in the US, there is a pretty small supply of well priced domestic GHB, so you can profit like crazy if you streamline your operation.

Meth is a more involved synth and the precursors are definitely harder to obtain in quantity. MDMA even moreso in both regards. Additionally, there is much more competition in both of those markets, and I venture to guess that the top vendors for meth and MDMA have the experience of running large scale operations for years, which you simply can't compete with.

You sound like you're living the "breaking bad" lifestyle. Meth chef!

You made it? Sure you didn't just extract it?

and not only is that not very profitable

Uhhh....
