poor guy. back in those days he probably would've BANKED on this shit.
a german team from Merck synthesized it...they were trying to create drugs for use in war to help soldiers stay awake but there were side effects (prolly soldiers were too happpy to be killing eachother) it was resynthesized later on by alex shulgin.
