Methaqualone is a nonbarbiturate sedative-hypnotic drug, which can depress the central nervous system. It is not chemically associated to any other sedatives. Pure methaqualone is Sopors and Quaaludes where as Somnafac, Optimil and Parest are methaqualone hydrochloride i.e.
they are not pure methaqualone. If you add amphetamine and dextroamphetamine to Biphetamine T and Biphetamine T 20, you will get methaqualone.
This drug is sans taste and odor and it is available in the form of capsules or tablets. The legal cost of methaqualone is about 10-30 cents each and it is sold for $2-$5 illegally. For daytime sedation, 75 mg of the drug is recommended and in order to make a person go to sleep, an average quantity of about 150 to 300 mg is needed. If the 2.4 grams of methaqualone is taken then it can lead to coma. Moreover, serious toxicosis or death can take place with the dosage of 8-20 grams.
Those who prefer methaqualone injections are putting themselves at risk of cellulitis and abscesses. It is soluble in water to some extent where as in ether and alcohol, it is completely soluble.
It is used as a sedative and hypnotic and it influences the central nervous system. Methaqualone is allocated into the primary site of metabolism (liver), brain tissue and body fat once the gastrointestinal tract takes it up. It is then emitted through the kidney and bile. Methaqualone can suppress the rapid eye movement or REM and it can decrease the intensity of transmission in the brain (along the neural pathways).
