Here is my Christmas Present to all......
Best site I was ever part of.....
The Hive..
The Hive was a
website that served as an information-sharing
forum for individuals and groups interested in the practical synthesis, chemistry, biology, politics, and legal aspects of
mind-altering drugs.
[1][2][3] Participants ranged from pure theorists to self-declared
organized crime chemists (claimed to be retired but with excellent connections) as well as forensic chemists, who (much like their quarries) used the Hive to keep abreast of developments in
clandestine chemistry.
[4] Most members were simply curious about psychoactive chemicals and allied issues. At its peak, the Hive had thousands of participants from all over the world.
Although it had been in operation since 1997, the Hive gained broader awareness in 2001 when a
Dateline NBC special
The "X" Files aired. This investigation into the use and production of
MDMA featured the Hive and its founder, who operated under the
pseudonym 'Strike' (
Hobart Huson). Strike was the founder and site designer of the Hive as well as the author of several popular books (
Total Synthesis I and II, and
Sources) instructing readers how to synthesize a variety of
amphetamines, obtain equipment and chemicals, and avoid prosecution. He remained anonymous until Dateline's investigation and interviews revealed that Hobart Huson (owner of the Strike-recommended laboratory supplier "Science Alliance") was the man behind Strike. The NBC program showed Huson/Strike at his office/chemical warehouse, complete with a stuffed
bee sitting by his computer. The program led to Huson's arrest and imprisonment, but also spurred the site's growth. A person by the username 'Rhodium' and a small group of dedicated individuals actually ran the Hive and its sister site
Rhodium.ws for most of the sites' lifespans.
While The Hive was a public forum for asking questions and exchanging information, Rhodium.ws hosted a collection of drug synthesis information in more condensed and organized form, much of it derived from messages posted on the Hive. It also had a large collection of articles from academic journals, plus considerable general-purpose information on practical chemistry. Rhodium's site was also taken offline shortly after the Hive. Most of the archive is hosted by
Erowid. Scattered across the net is more than 1.73 gigabytes of files that were once part of Rhodium's archive.
The Hive was closed in 2004 due to hosting issues. In 2015 the site was made accessible again as a
complete archive at Erowid, but the forum pages however are now broken as of late 2016.
So here is your Christmas present...
Now go get your education no till...........
But remember, not all knowledge can be a good thing..
It can actually be a curse...
Enter at your own risks...
