On a scale of 1 to 10, how hard is it to, make your own lab, get the right chemicals and get good lab equipment, without raising any suspicion with the feds? Let's say money isn't a problem. There is no selling of "stuff" involved, just synthesis and, you have the knowledge on how to synthesize that particular compound. I'm not talking about chemistry knowledge, basically what I'm asking for is how hard it is to not raise suspicion with our good friends at the D.E.A. or other government organizations you need to worry about when buying the stuff you need.
I learned that you can install a HSO3 group on a benzene ring by adding conc. fuming H2SO4, and remove it by adding dilute H2SO4. This is useful for when you want to temporarily block the para position, and install another group on the ortho position.
Are there any examples of using this strategy in clandestine chemistry? I do not recall anything off the top of my head.
Has anyone here ever tried to order transaminases or imine reductases? They seem perfect for enantiopure methods of amphetamine manufacture, or simply green and non hazardous ways to get to a variety of alkaloids

Description: In this podcast, I interview a former organometallic chemist named Mike Roberts who conducted underground research on DMT, DET, DiPT, DOM, 2C-B, and mescaline while working as a graduate student at UCLA. After a year of continuous psychedelic use his studies ended when began to confuse reality with a dream. I've attached one of Mike Roberts chemistry publications below.

Duchess von D's Clandestine Opioid Chemistry Monograph Series:
For those of you curious about the misceallneous, little-loved, lonely, insane, strange and unusual opioids out there, I recommend Duchess von D's Chemical Monograph Series. I'm going to provide links to the monographs below for you all to view. You can also find my growing monograph collection (based on my 15 years of experience in the clandestine chemistry field) via my username: u/DuchessVonD
Even for the non-chemist on this sub, it will give many of you an idea of what goes on during the process of selecting analogues to pursue in the Research Chemical field and a bit about the bizarre off-color and off-the-cuff ideas that go through the head of a research chemist by day, clandestine chemist by night. For those who lack a sense of humor and lack sarcasm and appreciation for flippant sarcastic banter, you may not enjoy my monographs that much. They are far from cut and dry musings of experimental procedure and strictly lab-based chemistry. There is a lot of social commentary, history, literature review, pharmacology, as well as a phat bong rip of chemistry. I must admit that most of the stuff that goes through my head during my free time has little to do with chemistry, sometimes it gets a little "colorful" especially for a little Jewish Jersey girl like me. [check out my Poetry-Dope Rhymes section below for more details]
There's something for everyone [interested in opioid research chemicals that is, but I will hit upon methaqualone analogues as well as benzodiazepines and have a discussion on 4-methylaminorex in my monographs]. Or there will be in the coming weeks and months as I have time to summarize my decade and a half long work in this arena and format these notes/commentary into my trademark-style of monographs. I try to focus on the unusual Opioid X-Files: mostly legal analogues, consisting of the good, the bad, and the ugly of the lesser known alleyways of the opioid class. Some are legitimately wonderful and euphoric. Most notable of these uniquely Duchess explorations is the revival of two old school Janssen opioids:
(a) the ethyl ketone of despropionyl-beztramide (Etodezitramide)
(b) And the highly euphoric N,N-Dimethyl analogue of dextromoramide/racemoramide known as Dimethylmoramide.
In my latest monograph addition I describe my experience synthesizing and commentary on the pharmacology of **phenomorpho
... keep reading on reddit ➡There isn't a doubt that a lot party drugs are made in Canada like MDMA/MDA, lysergamides and tryptamines. Does anyone else notice this?
This question also applies to Dutch/Eastern European countries, why is clandestine chemistry so popular there?
It seems like the only drug made in the u.s. is meth and even that's rare nowadays. Also fentanyl I guess. I highly doubt there is a lysergamide lab in the US
I LOOOOVE to read about drugs, any kind of literature, medical, old bluelight posts, essays and books, podcasts..
What about clandestine chemistry? Anything cool you wanna share :) ?
This book lists precursors and routes for field agents starting page 8. Thank you very much!

So whenever I get k the dealer always says it's s or r, and I used to believe them. But I did a little digging and it looks like it takes some seriously advanced chemistry to make pure s or pure r. It looks like ketamine synthesis just makes racemic (a 50/50 blend of s and r isomers) and you'd need to separate the two isomers from there if you wanted a specific isomer, which seems to take some seriously skilled chemistry
Someone on here who knows more about chemistry than I do, says that 90% of street k is racemic, given that a clandestine lab making black market k for profit would lose half their yield by separating the two isomers to sell the more coveted s isomer, and that 90% of the street k that's actually r or s comes from medical supply, given that most black market chemists don't have the skill to separate or synthesize specific isomers
Plus s and r isomer ketamine are relatively new even to the medical world, so wouldn't it make sense that nearly all the k out there is racemic and saying it's s or r is a marketing strategy the same way selling acid as needlepoint or family fluff is? S isomer was recently patented and until then, almost all the medical k seems to have been racemic, with little research done on either isomer
If that is the case, then why do different batches of k feel so different from one another? I just bought two batches and one is super warm and floaty and the other feels way more psychedelic and cold, which seems to be the difference between r and s, respectively.
Is it just different byproducts and/or cuts in the k? Maybe there's a lot of it that's cut with 2fdck or other rc dissos and that's why it feels different?
I'd love to hear from someone with some real chemistry knowledge to settle this once and for all. But I'm aware of the fact that without advanced chemical analysis it's mostly speculation
I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.
THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB
Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"
I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual
So check out r/jokes for all types of jokes
r/unclejokes for dirty jokes
r/3amjokes for real weird and alot of OC
r/cleandadjokes If your really sick of seeing not dad jokes in r/dadjokes
Punchline !
Edit: this is not a post about NSFW , This is about jokes, knock knock jokes, blonde jokes, political jokes etc being posted in a dad joke sub
Edit 2: don't touch the thermostat
A place for members of r/AskChemistry to chat with each other
Do your worst!
How the hell am I suppose to know when it’s raining in Sweden?
Ants don’t even have the concept fathers, let alone a good dad joke. Keep r/ants out of my r/dadjokes.
But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.
We told her she can lean on us for support. Although, we are going to have to change her driver's license, her height is going down by a foot. I don't want to go too far out on a limb here but it better not be a hack job.

Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?
Two muffins are in an oven, one muffin looks at the other and says "is it just me, or is it hot in here?"
Then the other muffin says "AHH, TALKING MUFFIN!!!"
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!

Heard they've been doing some shady business.
but then I remembered it was ground this morning.
Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale
Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments
They’re on standbi
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
