Abstract Background The consumption of dried fruiting bodies of Psilocybe cubensis can be traced over centuries, guided by Mesoamerican curanderas, Western medical practitioners, and fungal enthusiasts, all seeking mental wellbeing. There is a notable resurgence in interest both in the fungal biomass and psilocybin, the psychoactive tryptamine, despite the global regulatory restrictions,...

Abstract The hallucinogenic drug 1-phenylcyclohexylamine and its N-methyl-, N-ethyl-, N-propyl-, Nisopropyl-, and N-(β-phenylethyl)-derivatives are identified by spectroscopic techniques. Reference mass and infrared spectra and gas-liquid and thin layer chromatographic data are provided and discussed.

Abstract The drugs 1-[1-(2-thienyl)cyclohexyl]piperidine, 1-[1-(2-thienyl) cyclohexyl] morpholine, 1-[1-(2-thienyl)cyclohexyl] pyrrolidine, 1-(1-phenylcyclohexyl) morpholine, and 1-(1-phenylcyclohexyl) pyrrolidine are identified by spectroscopic techniques. The ultraviolet and proton magnetic resonance spectra of analogs are similar, but mass and infrared spectra are distinctly different, and...

Abstract A method for identification and determination of lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) was studied collaboratively by 11 collaborators on three samples prepared by the Associate Referee. The presumptive test is a valuable tool for rapid preliminary examination. Racemization of the LSD adds further to its identification by paper chromatography. Assay recovery, based on Sandoz LSD-25...
