Right now, hits sell for ten bucks and they Nope. "Hits" are Doridens, chemical name Gluthiemide (spelling probably wrong, I don't have a PDR handy). They are classified I believe as a sedative/hypnotic. I've never done one, but I should know a lot more about them than I do, as I used to know people who basically ran the Doriden distribution in NYC (note: years back, they're all dead, and the statue of limitations is surely past...). I can't actually recall the retail price, but my friends wholesaled them for something like $8/apiece. Also, I'm not completely sure that they're still manufactured in the States, as while my chums were originally moving pharmaceutical Doridens, before it all ended they'd switched to some sort of bootlegs. ... ============================================================================= From: Jeffrey Z Rothstein <@cc.ysu.edu> Subject: Re: goddamn.

Hey buddy, I can relate to that urge...I just got a fresh shipment of sum big-fat green gompers, 100-bottles cooked up last week in my friends bathtub just outside sao-poalo where the drug laws isnt ever in effect. Also, I got a box o sublimaze, fell off a truck in washington state and I was there wuith my big greedy mitsto grab it up and stick it in the trunk o my car. This is the apex of modern techo-parmacy...Just rip the pastch in half asnd suckout the gel (sounds like a william Burrough's fantasy drug but its real) and you'll be transported to a place of pure white light...Spweakin of white light, I just cracked the chemical formula fer an old fave from the decade of mandrax and talwin, Doriden...I can't revealhow its done, but Ciba used to make em, and the only thing required fer assembly is to extricate/liberate an old musty bottle of schoolboy--tylenol-4, Schedule-IV head candy--and mix 1 of each, then recline and spend an evening drooling in front of yer ole tv set watching a night of planet-of-the-apes-reruns, stoned and uncomprehending...With mass culture/entertainment being in the state that it is, a good flavor enhancer is sometimes necessary...Be foremarned though, this combo is like rocket fuel fer those endor-fin receptors...A lotta unsuspecting long-hairs, wanting only a good time and a light buzz at the Sir-Lord baltimore/Uriah Heep double bill, took these goodies outta grandmas medicine cabinet and ended up being ventilated by machine later on the same evening after exiting on a stretcher...But used properly, its a potent high...Jes dont get too carried away...Do 1-of each, wait an hour, and then caustiosly, take a half-tab more schoolboy....Alchohol in combo has sort of a nhydrogen bomb effect, and is not reccommended except to those who desire a long period spent in a coma at the local medical center...There arte lots of drugs that while individually mild, become a veritable viety-cong geurrilla army when taken together, mortering the un-trained minds of the unsuspecting into oblivion...The medicine cabinet can be an interesting place...See you in Syd-barrett land, or perhaps waving a divining rod like a water-witch in search of subterranean poppies on the dark side of the moon ========================================================================= From: Jeffrey Z Rothstein <@cc.ysu.edu> Subject: Re: goddamn.

Green Gompers, A.K.A, micro-meteors, Kaiser Wilhelms, frogs eyes, scuba-gear and--at least in some parts of eastern Pa, toad-suppositories, are a bootlegged version of two well known pharmaceuticals combined into a single green capsule...They normally don't come together except in their notorious Passaic-river-colored bathtub version...The two chemicals are codeine and glutethimide--the trade namefor the latter was Doriden, a popular sedative hypnotic that was used primarily for post-operative sedation, and chronic middle-aged insomniacs until some time in the mid 60's when some very precocious young miscreants experimented a little and discovered that theirIron-Butterfly albums sounded a lot cooler after they had taken a couple. Anyhow, the combo, of Doriden and Tylenol-4 (60 mg's codeine) got real popular in the late 60's and 70's...They were called by various names, but the most common was "hits"...And hit you they did. Individually, neither by itself was that powerful, but together, the combined synergistic effect could put an elephant into a deep stupor...About 10-years ago, some genius with a degree in chemistry from NYU, or some other eastern university, began cooking em up in combination in his garage...The guy got busted back in 89,(now on probation) but the recipe for home-made glutethimide was dissemuinated through the usual channels. Evidently, the young chemist wasn't synthesizing his own batches of codeine sulphate from raw-opium, but had instead conned some huge pharmaceutical firm into sending the stuff to his house, by convincing them that his address was that of a new drug company...The cops later used the records of IPI (international pharmeceutical company) to catch the guy as he was capping a fresh batch in the garage. Doriden aint too expensive to make, but if you make it wrong, its either going to be inert, or possibly toxic. The best underground lab fer the stuff allegedly comes from just south of the border, in a small burgh in mexico, and puts a small symbol on the capsule that looks like a piece of scuba gear (the shape of a fin, hence the street name). Of course, the stuff is of such high quality that bootlegs of this bootleg abound. Most recently they have been using a green capsule with a red band around the middle and the letters s-y-d...Hard stuff to find. ====================================================================== From: boodaa@.net (Gray) Subject: really enhancing a codeine high Date: 02 Jun 1996 00:00:00 GMT there is a little known drug interaction that might be what your looking for. first though, I would do the alchohol and codeine thing. I used to take 2 tylenol 4's (60 mg each) and drink two beers and I wasn't going anywhere for quite a while But, that whole thing gets boring after a while (probably why I started doing heroin) If you want to get the best high out of codeine "Doors and Fours" are the way to go Go out and beg, borrow ,buy or steal a drug called Doriden (generic= Gluthethimide) It is a hypnotic\sedative . The reccommended dose is two doriden and two tylenol fours I know several junkies who swear by it DO NOT DO THIS IF YOU ARE INEXPERIENCED WITH DRUGS OR EVEN JUST WITH PILLS .

I've also heard them called loads, hits, and Doors & 4's. These used to be quite common back in the mid '80's, but they seem to be harder to come by these days. I think Doriden used to be prescribed much more frequently. In fact, I have a pharmacist friend (sorry, he's legit... all he gives me is info.) who recently asked me why the DEA has tightened controls on glutethimide. Somehow he knew I'd know the answer :-) Anyway, it makes a great little cocktail. As for the high being similar to heroin, I wouldn't know as I've never done H, but it's the closest I've come to the buzz I get from snorting dilaudid (I know... all you pin cushions out there are saying I'm wasting it, but I have this thing about being stuck with needles). I'd really like to know where the author of this article is buying them (4 tab combo) for $10. I've never seen them for less than $20 here, and they're usually closer to $30 when you can get them at all. BTW, I've also seen super sets before that were sold as 2 Doridens, 2 T 4's, and 2 Sommas. Wow, talk about nodsville... Lights Out! ...
