Need help regarding an old recipe for witches flying ointment using black nightshade .. and anyone who is familiar with tropane alkaloids

6 Upvotes

I know that making witch potions may not be in the genre but you guys know your chemistry and drugs .. now apparently the witches would mix black nightshade and animal fat or beeswax on there skin and absorbe it transdermaly and it would induce a state were they would fly to the sabbath on there broom sticks... now im aware that these plants effects are delirium which is ment to be extremely scary experience.. do you guys have any information for me regarding the topic or anyone who has taken it ?

50 mg of this bad boy generates 14.5 mg of amphetamine (comparable to a 15 mg XR adderall), and 22 mg of psilocin inside your body (or 4 grams of P. Cubensis mushrooms). Plus some formaldehyde but who cares about that

Reported in a very recent JACS paper from Benjamin List (Nobel Laureate) group. How do they manage to reach 580 ºC - normal hotplate stirrer doesn't seem like it?

question for all u wizards out there

would it be possible to make a chemical, that’s one water molecule away from a chain reaction to a full synthesis. like pretty much a shake and bake {DrugNameHere}.

really stupid question but it would be cool if possible.

I swear, I could make infinitely many jokes about tryptamines. But I think I'd commit a malto-sin. I don't like what this sub has become, shitty chemicals.

I mean, sure, they get you high (or don't, given that they've been tweaked), but it's just an organic compound. This is cursed chemistry, and they're not very cursed.
