 the fen-fen diet pill craze? Hey, what's up guys, it's Josh here. So today I want to do a little topic video on two compounds that kind of blew me away when I was doing research. We've known how potent amphetamine is for so many things for so long, but these guys have literally tried every possible tweak with this compound, it's hilarious. With chemistry, there's so many little things you could do. I mean, for an example, there's like fluoro amphetamine. So just having amphetamine, you put a fluoro, did you put the fluoro on the two position, the three position, the four position, all of those are different compounds with different effects. So if you're anything like me, when you hear amphetamine, like what do you think? You think, oh, the illegal street drug, meth amphetamine, okay, I know about that. And then you're like, okay, maybe you know about Adderall. Like Adderall is just amphetamine salts, you know what I mean? It's the legal amphetamine. And you think, okay, that's pretty much where it ends, right? We don't have any other legal amphetamines. And like the other ones are kind of like Ritalin and things like that. And those are gonna be weaker. So it doesn't even really matter. And if you look at the chemical structure of Ritalin, if I were to just see that, I would have no idea that it was gonna feel very good. It's gonna increase dopamine because it just doesn't look like amphetamine, but apparently it is. So there's these two compounds, phenfloramine and phentermine. These are way, way, way too close to straight amphetamine. I mean, honestly, I think they are pretty much amphetamine. It's so, so, so close. The new compounds we have like DMA, DMHA, and you look at the chemical structure of those, those are so much farther away from amphetamine than these ones are right here. And it's interesting that they marketed them as diet pills. Now it's obvious that anybody who does a lot of stimulants, a lot of illegal stimulants, one of the big things it does is take away your appetite you don't need to eat. That's what it was kind of marketed as. When you look how strong amphetamine is, to even give that to kids, you know what I mean? To even give it to somebody five, six, you're gonna give them amphetamine. Like phentermine is like, if you look at amphetamine, amphetamine has the alpha methylation, which is the line that goes down right here. Instead of one, it just has two. So it's literally amphetamine, which is two lines instead of one. What makes amphetamine so strong is the phenyl group, the amethylation, and the amine at the end. Those are what really pack the punch with amphetamine. So you have all three of those there. So then you have fin fluoramine, which is even way, way, way more nuts. If you in-methylate amphetamine, you get methamphetamine. So it's just like this extra little line on top of amphetamine. You know, you see the structure, then it's just an extra little extension. So there's actually something called ethyl amphetamine, which is an additional methyl group on top of the already methylated amphetamine. So it's essentially amphetamine double methylated instead of single. But what's weird about it is it takes away a lot of its potency, from my understanding. I think it's a lot more serotonin dominant when normal amphetamine is gonna be very dopamine dominant. So that was interesting. So you have essentially ethyl amphetamine. And if you guys didn't follow my channel with the medaffinol analogs, I've been trying a lot of compounds that contain fluorine and that contain chlorine. I know it sounds crazy, but 85% of pharmaceutical drugs contain chlorine. And I think about 25% of pharmaceutical drugs contain fluorine. So it's used quite a bit. I like the fluoro-medaffinol. So you have the ethyl amphetamine, right? And then you have a trifluorobond in the three position right here. I know it's weird saying the three position, but it's just where it's connected and it will change how it feels to a certain extent. I'm already not a big fan of fluorine and compounds, especially the trifluorocompound, where it's just like FFF. One of the innate depressants has that as well. And they're also in something called SARMS, too, which actually build muscle. And once I heard they had the trifluorobond, I didn't want much to do with it. Anyways, guys, I was blown away. I've never tried these compounds. I've just done a lot of research, a lot of studying. When you look at the chemical structure of Ampsitrate, of DMA, DMHA, I mean, it's like, they're kind of close to amphetamine, but they're not this close. You look at these and they're just spot on. And then on top of that, they would tell these poor women to take both because it was more effective. So it's like, we created these two crazy synthetic amphetamines and you're gonna come here, you're gonna need to lose weight, you're a little bit fat. Here's two of these crazy amphetamines to give you. And you have no idea. I'm pretty sure a housewife going in there, getting some pills has no idea that they're getting like speed, essentially, or could be speed. I think fentermine is probably gonna be more stimmy. And I think the fenfloramine, which is the trifluoroan, is gonna be a little bit more estrogen dominant. There actually is research chemicals that are very, very similar to both these compounds. However, they're from these sites that you have to order from outside the US. And I made a video explaining that I ordered from three sites out of the US and all three packages never showed up. So I never wanted to trust it again. The research compounds they have is fluorofentermine. So it's essentially the amphetamine with the two methylations instead of one. And it just has a fluoro on the side. It seems like when you mix a fluoro with a stimulant, it kind of makes it a little more smooth and less kind of jittery, which could be good. I think fentermine is much more of a dopamine-heavy versus serotonin. I think normal amphetamine works a little bit on serotonin, I'm not sure. Fenfloramine is essentially, like I was saying, you have the ethyl amphetamine, and then you have a trifluoro. There's this compound called 3FEA, which is three fluoroethyl amphetamine, which is essentially fenfloramine, except it only has one fluoro methylation instead of three. So you have three FEA, on top of that, you have two FEA, which is the same thing, but it's in a different position. Whenever they switch the position from like two or three or four, it seems to feel or enact way differently. And then you also have another compound, which is kind of similar to fenfloramine, and that is 3FMA, which is three fluoro-methamphetamine. 3FMA is one of those ethyl groups removed. So instead of it being double methylated from Adderall, it's back down to one. From the research that I've done, it seems like the 3FEA is closer to MDMA or ecstasy, things like that. Again, I've never tried it, probably never will, just because they're so hard to get, and if I'm gonna get something, I would want something that's gonna wake me up, not really making me euphoric or serotonin dominant. It's not really my thing, but apparently 3FMA is the longest lasting of all the FMAs. There's two FMA, three FMA, and four FMA. Again, I've never tried any of them, but it seems like 3FMA, it lasts the longest. People say it lasts 24 hours. Apparently for like two or three hours, it feels very recreational and ecstasy, and then the rest of the time, it feels much more speedy. Again, I've never tried it, just kind of wanted to put that out there. So the fenfen craze, I can't believe that they gave these to women looking to lose weight. Women were just on random amphetamines, and we had no idea. Anyways, guys, let me know if you've heard of the fenfen craze. Have you heard of either one of these compounds? I was absolutely blown away, because the only amphetamine I thought we used in pharmaceuticals was Adderall, and then they have something called Desoxin, which is brand-name methamphetamine, which we already knew about those two. I didn't know that there was all these other versions, and not just like created on weird sites, people have talked about them, you know? And if you're wondering, hey, there's a fluoroamphetamine, is there a chloroamphetamine, and there is. But apparently it's very, very neurotoxic. Apparently it has unrestrained release of dopamine and serotonin, which once you release a certain amount, it becomes toxic, because your brain can't function normally. So stay away from that chloroamphetamine, but I know that you can't probably find it. Anyways, guys, let me know what you think of the fenfen craze. Was this an interesting video? Was it not? I'd be very interested to see. We're on the road of 50,000 subscribers, and I couldn't do without any of your guys' help. You guys are the best. Having a great day out here. Hopefully I'm in a great day at home. See you all in the next video. Peace.
