In Europe, methcathinone is primarily known as Ephedrone.
Methacathinone the C=O bond right after the benzene ring is slightly polar and as a result, the drug does not cross the lipid blood-brain barrier quite as well as amphetamine. Its effects differ slightly from the amphetamines especially it's ability to act as a serotonin agonist. Nevertheless, it is a potent CNS stimulant and dopamine agonist. Chronic high dosage abuse may result in acute mental confusion ranging from mild paranoia to pychosis. These symptoms ...

| | | | | Convention on Psychotropic Substances: Encyclopedia II - Psilocybin - Pharmacology Psilocybin acts as an agonist for the neurotransmitter serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, or 5-HT). It binds to 5-HT receptors in the brain, and mimics the effects of serotonin.
While psilocybin may deliver a stronger impulse to the postsynaptic receptor than serotonin does, mostly the effect is a product of the fact that there is now both serotonin and a serotonin agonist in the synapse (this is equivalent to having twice as much serotonin in the synapse). Compare this effect to that of MDMA, which increases the amount of actual se ...

| | | | | Convention on Psychotropic Substances: Encyclopedia II - Psilocybin - Chemistry Psilocybin is a prodrug that is converted into the pharmacologically active compound psilocin in the body by dephosphorylation. This chemical reaction takes place under strongly acidic conditions or enzymatically by phosphatases in the body. Psilocybin is a zwitterionic alkaloid that is soluble in water, moderately soluble in methanol and ethanol, and insoluble in most organic solvents. Psilocybin can be synthesized in the laboratory from psilocin by a two-step procedure, but this is rarely done since psilocin is the a ...

| | | | | Convention on Psychotropic Substances: Encyclopedia II - Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs - Possession for personal use It is unclear whether or not the treaty requires criminalization of drug possession for personal use. The treaty's language is ambiguous, and a ruling by the International Court of Justice would probably be required to settle the matter decisively. However, several commissions have attempted to tackle the question. With the exception of the Le Dain Commission, most have found that states are allowed to legalize possession for personal use.
The Canadian Le Dain Commission of Inquiry into the Non-Medical Use of Drugs' 1973 report cites ...

| | | | | Convention on Psychotropic Substances: Encyclopedia II - LSD - Dosage LSD is, by weight, one of the most potent drugs yet discovered. Both subjective reports and pharmacological methods such as receptor binding assays determine LSD to be, per mole, around 100 times more potent than psilocybin and psilocin and around 4000 times more potent than mescaline. Dosages of LSD are measured in micrograms (µg), or millionths of a gram. By comparison, dosages of almost all other drugs, both recreational and medical, are measured in milligr ...

| | | | | Convention on Psychotropic Substances: Encyclopedia II - LSD - Origin "LSD" is an abbreviation of the German chemical name of the compound, Lysergsäure-diethylamid. It was first synthesized in 1938 by Swiss chemist Dr. Albert Hofmann at the Sandoz Laboratories in Basel as part of a large research program searching for medically useful ergot alkaloid derivatives. Its psychedelic properties were unknown until 5 years later, when Hofmann, acting on a hunch, returned to work on the chemical. He attributed the discovery of the compound's psychoactive effects to the accidental absorption of a tiny amount through his skin on April 16, which led to him testing a larger amount on himself fo ...

| | | | | Convention on Psychotropic Substances: Encyclopedia II - Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs - Medical and other drug uses The Single Convention repeatedly affirms the importance of medical use of controlled substances. The Preamble notes that "the medical use of narcotic drugs continues to be indispensable for the relief of pain and suffering and that adequate provision must be made to ensure the availability of narcotic drugs for such purposes". Articles 1, 2, 4, 9, 12, 19, and 49 contain provisions relating to "medical and scientific" use of controlled substances. In almost all cases, parties are permitted to allow dispensation and use of controlled substances u ...

The Single Convention places the same restrictions on cannabis cultivation that it does on opium cultivation.

The agency then has the exclusive right of "importing, exporting, who ...

| | | | | Convention on Psychotropic Substances: Encyclopedia II - Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs - Limitation of scope The Single Convention allows only drugs with morphine-like, cocaine-like, and cannabis-like effects to be added to the Schedules. The strength of the drug is not relevant; only the similarity of its effects to the substances already controlled. For instance, etorphine and acetorphine were considered sufficiently morphine-like to fall under the treaty's scope, although they are many times more potent than morphine. However, according to the Commentary[30]:
The Office of Legal Affairs of the United Nations ruled, in an opinion ...
