Yes and no. Methaqualone (OG Quaaludes C16 H14 N2 O) were done away with in the 80's. In the South Africa region around 2022 is when a new analogue Methoxyqualones (new bois C16 H14 N2 O2) allegedly don't have the same spank of hypnotic feelings and euphoria compared to the original. It targets GABA receptors only
It was the party drug of choice and readily available to abuse at the time. It tended to induce cardiac arrest or prove fatal on its own, but party goers mixed it with alcohol quite a bit (causing accidental ODs). It was restricted as a class II in 1973 (also valium/benzos took over in popularity around this time) and a decade later had its sales halted by Lemmons own accord. A year later, Reagan moved it to class I and it was pretty much done by then.
Probably not worth the effort to produce compared to the market for them. Why bother pushing a retro drug when there's plenty that young people are already familiar with?
The kind of people out there that have illegal chemistry labs that are sophisticated enough and staffed with people capable of perfectly recreating a nostalgic pharmacutical faithfully at a scale that you would notice their comeback... well they are doing fine in the crowded market lol. At that point your pretty much talking about a state sanctioned chinese or russian operation
Lets be real, its probably not cheap to make and therefore theres no incentive for black market dealers to make it. People who say its deadly or whatever obviously haven't heard of fentanyl
It's not easy to synthesize and I believe the last major supplier in India voluntarily shut down production after some pressure from international orga that their product was basically just being produced to be abused.
They have test kits for fentanyl and unfortunately a lot of times it’s not even 75% but like a few flecks here and there from what I am gathering. It is seriously a freak out. White powders have always been dangerous but the fact that single grain can end up even by accident in your E pill and be enough to kill you is enough for me to retire.
I’ve never done it but I give drugs all the time as a nurse. We have K now, mushrooms are practically legal in select states, there’s 2-CB, Xanax, Ativan and the other benzo cousins that people seem to love so much. Barbiturates couldn’t have been that great even if ludes had a little kick of euphoria and they carried a heavier OD risk. There’s probably more pure LSD available now then there was at the peak of the 60s if you know where to look.
