So dimethocaine is apparently similar to cocaine even on dopamine. Why don't people ever talk about snorting this stuff instead??? Isn't it legal?

I have this unused bottle of Regenone - dietylpropion tablets ( by the Temmler Werke which has also introduced Pervitin ) - which are basically Ethylcathinone Hydrochloride 25 mg per tablet. Its a stimulant with appetite suppressing characteristics. It was used as a Party drug about 20 years ago in the Research Chemical scene and is further metabolized by the liver into Cathinone.

I have read some reports on reddit where users report that Ethcathinone in high doses about 100 mg is very euphoric and some even prefer it over Methamphetamine. The datas on Swisstargetprediction are also very good with values way about 1000 on Dopamin, Serotonin, and Norepinephrine. So it seems quiet underrated ( in contrast to what Wikipedia says - which is someones personal opinion by the way)

There are 20 sugar coated tablets in this tiny bottle ( so 500 mg in total) It is perhaps from the early 1970 s and the tablets are a bit sticky due to its sugar coating, but they still look and smell fine. Since I am more a downer guy, I wont give them a try.

I have this unique and very tiny bottle of Pantopon tablets (by the Roche company) from the 1950s.

Pantopon was once a Blockbuster medication as it contains not only Morphine, Codeine, Thebaine, Noscapine, Narcein, Papaverin and many more in a purified and isolated form as hydrochloride salts without the tar and fat of normal Opium.

So it was basically purified Opium pressed into tablets or injectable form and was in use from 1909 until 1985 ( when it was discontinued)

The bottle is unused and was still sealed with 20 tablets ( but I replaced the old cotton) From my personal experience Opium - when purified has about the double strength when compared to Morphine and also much longer half life ( 20 hours +) with a nicer and warmer feeling.

Doing some remodeling in an old house and found two pills inside a wall behind a bed.

I have this still sealed and unused package of Eucodal - Oxycodone Hydrochloride 10 mg ampoules ( there are ten of them in this particular package. This one is a bit newer than my former - Eukodal 1934 bottle - but still from the 1950s. I have removed the old blister foliage ( since it was still wrapped)

I shared the one Darvon tin I had. I have two now with each with one Darvon Pulvule. Not really a big Darvon person but having the actual samples is cool.

But one of the recent grabs I got was this huge 500 count bottle with really nice label. Striking red. I really like it. It’s huge. Much rather it be a 500 or 1000 count Nembutal. One of my white whales is one of those two. Or a 500 Desbutal. Flurazepam is actually more sedating than Xanax supposedly. Curious what that is like. Since Xanax is pretty strong that way.

I’m a bottle collector mainly. But also seen out hard to find old substances like short acting barbs mainly. Have tried so hard to find some legit Pento, seconal, Amytal or best Tuinal. The Tuinal with 100mg Seconal and Amytal sound incredible. Phenovarb you can buy old Merck 1 ounce raw substance still half full for $100. But the shorter acting much tougher. All I’ve come across is very questionable “Seconal and Amytal”. Both that look identical. Really wanna find some 1970 or newer the have the Pulvule ID’s still visible or from a bottle in photos clearly that are legit.

Someone posted a photo of a 1000 count generic Nembutal (pentobarbital) bottle to show me supposedly with 800 left. Something like that is exactly what I’m looking for. I have a 1000 count Pentobarb (not Abbott Nembutal) bottle too. But mine is empty. The daily search will continue!

Can’t even find photos of the Nembutal 500 and 1000 count bottles. There must be some out there! If you notice a film on the bottle it’s because many of mine I wrap carefully in Saran Wrap then clear tape over that. Since I don’t have a curio cabinet I like yet I’ve been keeping them in a small stereo cabinet and each time I get something new I have to rearrange. Finger oil eats away at this old paper. You’ll see some labels that literally look like oil is on them. Like dirty oil from a car. It’s old finger oil that eat away. Plus Saran Wrap and tape help little bit for IV light too

I have this unopened Pack of Dromoran by the " Roche Company " ampoules - from the 1950s - of which each contains 2 mg of Levorphanol ( which has an analgesic potency about 7 times of morphine) I have never seen or heard of it in clinical Environment, but maybe someone has experiences with it and like to share them with us.

Yes I know it's been posted many times and I have read all the posts but this is the first time I've tried it. I've had Melex Restas and Coreminal but it seems they're all gone. I'm liking these, I've had 10mg so far.

I have this unused Pack of Palfium ( Dextromoramide ) Supositorios of which each contains about 10 mg. The condition of them is still very good - pure white - and I have removed the original blister foliage just to check the condition of them and make sure they are still good.

One could potientially dissolve them in heating water but that would be a waste of its perfect condition. They are from the late 1950s ( around 1957) and Dextromoramide is known to be the king or the crack of synthetic Opioids with an analgesic potency of 6 times over morphine.

I have this small and still unopened bottle of Dolantin of which each tablet contains about 25 mg of Pethidine Hydrochloride ( worlds first synthetic Opioid) . The package is probably from the 1950's and has never been used. Has anyone experience with this particular "drug" ?

These are prescription only, and are supposedly prescribed as Treatment for some forms of epilepsy in adults and children. How fascinating. As far as Benzodiazepines go, I see some classics in standard formulations, as well as some more obscure ones. I can upload zoomed in outtakes but I’m gonna do more research on the brands and medications pictured here. Just figured I’d put this out there sooner than later.

I traveled there. This photo was taken in January of 2026, in a medium size town in El Salvador.

Edit: removed misleading title + corrected silly mistake. I’m not well versed in barbiturates whatsoever, sorry for my overzealous claims. Humbral is only sold in ES.

I’m a collector more than anything. Although out of all substances some I do aim to acquire bottle or not. Like short acting barbs.

But this is not one of them. This is the original. Lately I’ve decided to use my collecting money on WWII era to modern. A few old things I will go for. This wasn’t much so just went for it. Cool to have a Luminal bottle. With everything it original came with and some pills left in it. So tiny.
