The other raw materials for
Methaqualone, apart from acetic anhydride (manufactured at Shreenath Industries) are Anthranillic Acid (which was imported from Indonesia from Kandla Port by misdeclaring it as Mallic Anhydride), ortho toloudiene, phosporous trichloride, caustic soda (procured locally).
[23,33] The low presence of amphetamines and
methaqualone in deceased persons may reflect the established knowledge that amphetamine users have lower drug-related mortality risks than opiate users.
However, only 8.8% of the urine samples met standardized cut-off criteria to test 'positive" for at least one illicit drug (8.1% for methamphetamine, 0% for heroin, 1.8% for cannabis, 0.4% for
methaqualone (mandrax), 0% for cocaine, and 0% for benzodiazepine).
To prove the crime of Trafficking in
Methaqualone, the State must prove the following three elements beyond a reasonable doubt:
40, [section] 552(6)(2009)(including in definition of "drug" amphetamines, cannabinoids, cocaine, phencyclidine, hallucinogens,
methaqualone, opiates, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, synthetic, designer drugs, and metabolites).
Volumes for MDMA,
methaqualone, oxycodone, and propoxyphene were also low because fewer than 500 laboratories were enrolled.
Combined cannabis/
methaqualone withdrawal treated with psychotropic analgesic nitrous oxide.
Monitoring saliva concentrations of
methaqualone, codeine, secobarbital, diphenhydramine and diazepam after single oral doses.
The blood and urine samples were screened at a clinical laboratory for amphetamines, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, cocaine metabolites, cannabinoids, methadone,
methaqualone (urine only), opiates, phencyclidine, and propoxyphene metabolites by immunoassay and confirmed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS).
For example, chapter 2 (Pharmacology and Genetic Aspects of Abused Drugs) covers amphetamines, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, cocaine, marijuana, opiates, methadone, porpoxyphene, phencyclidine,
methaqualone and gluthethimide.
In this study 58% of the males and 57% of the females had at sometime taken alcohol, 32% of the males and 10% of the females had at sometimes taken cannabis, and 24% of the males and 26% of the females had at sometimes in their lives taken other drugs, that included petrol sniffing, chlordiazepoxide and other minor tranquillizers, amphetamines and
methaqualone [11].
The influence of oral contraceptives on the metabolism of
methaqualone in man.
