i have on occasion spoke with bears that have obtained their "modified" honey via the custom commercial synthesis route ....
(in 1980 even aldrich would synthesize mmda for you !!!!)...
it CAN be a viable alternative to "personal dreaming" .....the bears advice is :
1-stay away from "obvious" analogues if possible
2-not only sound and talk professional but BE professional (know your usage for this compound and stick with your story... hell even phenylacetic acid is used for plant tissue culture legitemately ....)
3- have your money READY not maybe i'll have the money later... money talks in this instance most elegantly.....
4-buy as much as you can possibly afford at one time .... less hassle later with reorders....
5-make SURE YOU ACTUALLY WANT THE COMPOUND in question .... nothings worse than spending 5k on a dud pseudo-drug that slams everybody to the ground and makes them howl and writhe for 16hrs......not much market / interest there ......
6-do business with a smallish firm they are hungry for the business....even though fluka in switzerland seems to be willing to synthesize anything "legal"....as long as you are buying "large".....
7-BEE CAREFUL......you are walking a razor fine line between research and criminality .... you CAN obtain non-controlled substances LEGALLY but unless you are a doctor you CANNOT ADMINISTER OR PRESCRIBE these compounds.... sacramental usage is a questionable dodge...plant research is an interesting and growing field of biochemistry i hear.....
just my 69,002 cents worth ........
