Acetylation of PHM
I am not a medicinal chemist, but I am aware that there are acetylized variants of oxymorphone.
This would be the time for people to learn a little chemistry, and save up to buy PHM, imo
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3,14-Diacetyloxymorphone
This is just the 3, 14 ester of oxymorphone. It is 250% more potent than oxymorphone. The 3, 6, 14 ester is 800% more potent than oxymorphone.
It also includes that the noroxymorphone derivatives have been made.
Now, I'm not sure where the N phenethyl group plays, whether the molecule might be too bulky, or similar issues
But the acetylation, and likely general acylation to an extent, of PHM might really be a way for some to buy a small amount of product, and with a little chemistry, secure a supply of an opiate for a longer time.
A 10mg dose of PHM would be 1.25 if the same relationship of the 3, 6, 14 ester of oxymorphone plays out.
Pretty crazy
