Talk:1,3-Benzodioxolylbutanamine

Notoriety
While J may not seem to have the media attention of other psychedelics, can anyone provide a reliable source for it being a "lesser known" drug, as original research/experience of Wiki editors is hardly enough to warrant the inclusion of that description? Alvis 09:11, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

You don't seem to understand the concept? By definition, a drug that has seen some limited use but has never been widely sold or attracted significant attention, is a "lesser-known" drug, by comparison with more widely used and better studied drugs which might be referred to as "well known". So this is not the kind of statement for which a source can be produced, because it is the very absence of academic journal articles and subjective user reports about this drug which causes it to fit this description. Don't be so pedantic, it doesn't achieve anything. If someone comes along with a journal article or report from law enforcement proving that BDB is being widely sold or used in a particular area, then at that point it might no longer be accurate to refer to this as a "lesser-known" drug, but until that time then BDB must be considered "lesser-known" on the grounds that it is not "well known". I will have a look and see if there are any journal articles comparing this drug to other similar ones and they might mention in passing that it is less well known than other similar drugs, but thats about the best source there will be for this statement.

Ok I found an article comparing 2CB, MDA, cathinone and BDB which states that BDB is "a compound with unknown activity in man". It is also mentioned as a metabolite of the compound MBDB which is known as a street drug, as is the N-ethyl derivative, but no mention of BDB having been sold on the street is made. I consider that these are reliable sources for the "lesser-known drug" statement. I shall amend the page as appropriate.Meodipt 05:44, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Cool - I'll update the page to reflect your citation. Thank you for adding to WP -- me, I usually just mark what's wrong with it it, but I do appreciate the addition of good sources. Alvis 06:26, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
