New and final talk from the Four Thieves Vinegar Collective, an anarchist biohacker group founded by Michael Laufer, Ph.D, which among other things create ways for synthesizing drugs DIY. Make up your own mind what this entails, with regards to access to expensive current, future, and abandoned drugs.
Fourth generation anti-retroviral drug printing (99% less expensive)
The flagship product: the microlab, an automated, programmable, portable, chemical reactor.
Last week some guy in another continent/country made Metformin, with 99.1% purity in his kitchen
If you read about some drug that is magical but is unavailable, here’s the process
Follow the fine print of the article(s) in succession until you find the original research
You’ll find the drug in one of these stages, and it becomes proportionally more difficult if it is further to the left.
Phase of trials
-
First is to check so it’s not very toxic and doesn’t kill people, the second one is for test for actual therapeutic effect, and third phase is if it does better than the current leading brand.
-
A lot of drugs fail in the third phase
-
There are many drugs in the third phase waiting to be hijacked, that only worked for some people, or for some specific gender, and is just sitting on shelves.
Three ways of getting a drug.
-
Buying a drug directly from someone, in countries where sold, and there are many that don’t care who they sell to.
-
Buying the raw powder, putting it in pills or formulating it for a specific delivery mechanism, same things done in a factory.
-
The hardest, synthesizing it on your own.
There’s a standard methodology for synthesizing it on your own.
-
ChemHacktica and Recipe is from Four Thieves.
-
You just place in the chemical code in ChemHacktiva and it reverse engineers the synthesis, you can check to not have dangerous to humans intermediaries or controlled ones.
-
The RecipePress turns them into programs that runs on the microlab.
Where do you get drugs, chemicals? Anywhere, be polite in your email, it helps, and type in the CAS number
Drugs in the blue category is safe, anything impure in the green category won’t build up if you take it for ~10 days, avoid taking red category drugs in your body.
If you come across animal model drug, here’s the conversions
Adaptive N=1 trial, start at the left
Convert from Animal model
Use Fibonacci sequence for effect
Testing drugs with sharp melting points, analog, digital, reagent test kits. For $30 you can build your own raman spectrometer.
Dozens of projects that didn’t work at Four Thieves

There’s drops that you put in your ears to regrow your hearing

Naloxone-opioid drug that only kicks in during hypoxia
