Apparently the Gods gifted me Safrole. Wat do?

I posted this on /r/drugs, with very little success. Despite figuring it would be a better audience, I figured your attention would be helpful as well. I don't know what to do next.

Some points in space-time "ago", an individual granted me with a bottle of what I understand to be Safrole. It is in a amber vial with a dropper - about halfway full. Estimated to be a 4oz bottle (2oz liquid). Without any research, I already understand there is a rainbow of possibilities with this substance...

  1. First, for you DNM guys: if I successfully brew it (by hand, with love), would you be interested in purchase?

  2. How the fuck do I even begin? (I'll be sure to completely understand the mechanisms before even attempting, rest assured).

Seems legit

First off (the-hive on reddit) or the vespirary is where you might want to ask those kind of questions (bees are now Mosquitoes)

2oz of safrole = approx 2oz of MDp2p. safole weight is 1.10g/ml. you get about 70-80% MDp2p and 70to80% yeild of MDMA or (90% for MDA using sodium canyoborohydride) (your choice) for 2 Oz seriously sell on ebay $30 a floz or get more. the equipment you will need will cost at least $4k unless you take the bromosafrole route (very hard i imagine only Bayer ( the original makers of herione or mdma can pull off the route.

Now if one really wants to learn how purely for academic purposes as you need at least 1L ie a kilo to make it worth while. Look into (total synthesis 2 and get the-hive.ws archive) Strike! aka hobart huson was the godfather of xtc making. his name was strike for 1 reason what is a strike in bowling X.... now with said go get total synthesis 2 read it front to back. learn how to make meth as they are strickly similar, and watch the story on dateline and what the hive really was. then look at the rhodium archive and self assemble a route from rhodium (after you read totaly synethsis)

PS safrole is OLD, real chemists have new routes and precursors, ones better and closer to MDMA/MDA

Check erowid.org and read up.

What are you asking? Just drink it because your not brewing anything and if you did your not going to yeild an amount to sell.


[1 Points] Drugaddicatedanimal:

1&2: You don't brew safrole, you distill sassafrass oil from sassafrass root bark, then distill safrole from sass oil. Also you need allot of sass root bark to make any worthy amount of oil. For this reason 100-200year old trees are being slaughtered and causing rampid deforestation in Asia and Brazil. In 2012 I ordered a 16oz bottle of sassafrass oil from SR1. I could find all the chemistry glassware I needed, but I couldn't find any of the chemicals needed to run a synth. So I buried the bottle of sassafras oil in my backyard and abandoned the idea. Looking back I think it was the best decision I ever made. If you're asking if there is an American market for safrole in 2oz portions, the answer is pretty much NO.


[1 Points] krokodiltear:

Assuming it isn't denatured to remove all the safrole to begin with, two ounces (56 grams) of safrole isn't enough to do much of anything with unless you trying to conduct a very expensive and illegal science project. In this day and age with how prevalent European and Canadian MDMA is, you would need many liters of it to make an operation economically viable.

For a first run, you'd also need to buy several hundred dollars of glasswork at a minimum, as well as hundreds of dollars in other chemicals needed for the synth. They aren't even presently that easy to acquire, so you'd be spending a lot of time trying to find chemical supply sources.

Unless you're very experienced in a lab, you'd probably fuck up something at some point and produce an undesired product. Two ounces isn't close to enough safrole to tweak your skills until you've got it down.

You want to make money selling ecstasy? Place an order for some Dutch MDMA; it would be far less stressful, take much less investment, and cost far less.


[1 Points] wrongcaptchaa:

This amount of safrole will not yield that much product just so you know.

Especially if you have never attempted a synthesis before.

If you are doing this in order to try and turn a profit I would highly recommend looking elsewhere. Before you even begin you are going to need to invest another couple thousand in lab equipment such as glassware, heating mantles, various beakers. As well as another few hundred in reagents.

Also the amount of material you are working with will give you tops 20 grams of material if you are lucky.

If you are looking to do this as a learning process, and you have some extra time and money on your hands, then please continue.

I'd recommend reading Strikes book Total Synthesis II, as well as Shulgins PIKHaL.

Have you taken any organic chem classes? Do you know basics such as how to Reflux, distill, safe solvent use, etc.?

Start reading. You'll need a cook spot with good ventilation, as well as a couple of other tightly controlled precursors, which should hopefully take you off the course of making your own MDMA. But if you do decide to go through with it, please first get some practice in basic lab procedures with an amateur chemistry set and have the proper safety gear for working with acid, heat, etc.

i really hope you posted this on tor. even then, you're an idiot.
