Owch! buggering sodding shit jesus grandmother of fuck that stung. Almost like a bee sting or wasp, only lasting for a mere few seconds. Tolerable, but not nice.
Still, 'mmmm, thats so much better!' though. I needed that. For once my joints weren't hurting to begin with, at all, but fucked if I'm going to wait until they do.
Been meaning to try mono-acetylation of it, to see how it compares to H and morphine. Some who have tried it say its better than smack. Interestingly 6-MAM is apparently selective between gene splice variants of the Mu-1 opioid receptor.
Synthesis is simple enough, reflux in glacial acetic acid (as opposed to acetic anhydride or acetyl chloride/bromide/iodide/tosylate, etc. etc.) with a little catalytic conc. sulfuric.
I've done my fair share of heroin in the past, a lot of morphine sulfate, and dipropionylmorphine, but never mono-propionylmorphine or 6-MAM, I'll be interested to see how they stack up. And I have almost a liter of GAA hanging around on the shelves in ye olde skunkworks:P
Idle chemicals make just as much of the devil's work as do idle hands. Only usually its a better quality of deviltry when there's skag involved:D
Other good thing today: whilst walking to the pharmacy to pick up my scripts, I happened to pass a hedge which was almost entirely japanese wineberry plants. Got to grab a nice handful of juicy, ripe, sweet fruit on the way there, and some blackberries from a hedge along the short-cut home.
