What kind of chemistry is most valuable for me to study at uni to be able or get a good understanding of how to do drugs? Organic chemistry? Analytic chemistry?

how to do drugs is biochemistry
Pchem

Organic chemistry if you want to make drugs.
I don't think analytical chemistry will help you

comfy desu

You don't need to go to uni to access erowid.org

At the undergraduate level, you'll have to take coursework in major sub-disciplines of chemistry: organic, biochem, analystical, physical.
If you want to synthesize compounds, your best bet would be to do a PhD in organic synthesis, followed by a post-doc in medicinal chemistry, in a drug discovery lab (academic or industrial).

Yes, I very much agree with this statement but alas my brunch is near. I shall go now, toodaloo.
All these normies... Go for pharmacology if u want to consume drugs and for organic chemistry if u want to make them
>>8755980
Obvious choice.

Study Medicine you dumbass. At least you'll know how to stay away from dirty needles and know what the fuck you're doing to yourself.

taking any course will give you an opportunity to learn how to take drugs given you find a social group that does drugs
however if you're interested in just making drugs, no degree would be of value to you
you can literally google recipes for various drug synthesis, all you need is ingredients and basic lab equipment which you could probably make DIY style from your own household equip
I'm currently a BSc biochem student and we've synthesized a couple of interesting compounds already such as >>8760820 (pic related)
Biochem, medical biochemistry, molecular biology, biomed sciences, and similiar degrees will give you a good insight into the theory of biosynthesis, however dont get into it if your end goal is to make drugs
instead invest into lab equipment and start cooking today lol

I currently study pharmacy. The pharmacology modules teach you a fair bit about contraindications of different drugs, how they work and how best to take them for maximum effect. In answer to your question, it is a fair mix of organic chem and biochem, with a bit of elementary kinetics thrown in. If you are interested enough, it won't matter which you take.The knowledge is transferrable enough.
