Amphetamines and Other Stimulants Amphetamines:
Danger in the Fast Lane
Aimed at scaring young adult readers (high school age) so they stay away from amphetamines (speed), this book examines the history, effects, and medical and legal aspects of amphetamine use and abuse.
Amphetamines Amphetamine Syntheses:
Industrial Edition
Looks at various areas related to making amphetamines like the meth lab, the law, designer drugs, chemistry of the reactions, etc.
The majority of the book, however, details syntheses of amphetamine and related chemicals such as MDA, MDMA (ecstasy), DOB, TMA, PMA, MDEA (Eve), DOM (STP), methylcathinone, phenetermine, aminorex, ephedrine.
Amphetamine Syntheses Recreational Drugs
Well illustrated, it covers the equipment, techniques and reagents used in the clandestine manufacture of illegal drugs. Procedures for crystallization, chromatography, distillation and reductions are given for the following types of drugs:
Amphetamines, THC, Analgesics, Hypnotics, Sedatives, and Tranquilizers. Also includes detailed instructions for buying and making precursors.
The book was written in 1989 and some of the methods are obsolete. It is technical, but a person with a strong knowledge of chemistry should have no problem understanding the methods described.
Recreational Drugs Secrets of Methamphetamine Manufacture:
Including Recipes for MDA, Ecstasy, And Other Psychedelic Amphetamines
It's filled with some great info, and after talking with people who actually manufacture drugs, this book is very accurate.
If you want to make psychedelic amphetamines yourself and are already familiar with chemistry you should have no problem producing your own with the aid of this book.
The manufacturing process is complex and dangerous, so if you have no prior chemistry or meth experience, producing meth is not recommended.
Secrets of Methamphetamine Manufacture Speed Culture:
Amphetamine Use and Abuse in America
The only non biased, factual book about the history of speed I have found in print. Written in 1975, it doesn't cover recent history, but does give a good history up to the time of publication.
It was written by the author of Marihuana Reconsidered and describes how amphetamines have been used both medically and recreationally in the United States.
Speed Culture Total Synthesis II
Comprehensive and detailed book on the underground production of ecstasy and amphetamines. Step by step synthesis recipes are given in extensive detail.
Chemists from around the world have contributed their favorite recipes and comments to provide the reader with massive insight and options. Lots of explanatory notes that seem to get omitted from a lot of journals.
A couple of semesters of organic chemistry lab are required. You will need some real chemistry knowledge if you want to even think about attempting a lot of stuff in this book.
