SAN DIEGO (AP) — A
Texas chemist who wrote a
guidebook on illegal drugs was
accused Monday of providing
expertise and supplies to what
authorities say was one of the
largest and most sophisticated
Ecstasy labs ever found in the
United States.
Hobart Huson, 33, of
Humble, Texas, was arraigned
Monday in federal court on a
charge of conspiracy to manu
facture Ecstasy. He pleaded
innocent.
Huson is one of 24 people
charged with helping to set up
and run an Ecstasy lab hidden
inside an Internet pornography
business in an office park in
Escondido.
Agents from the Drug
Enforcement Administration
raided the lab last month. It was
capable of producing 1.5 million
Ecstasy pills per month, author
ities said.
Huson, under the pseudonym
“Strike,” is the author of a guide
for producing Ecstasy and is co
owner of The Science Alliance,
a chemical supply company that
allows customers to purchase
wares over the Internet.
Ecstasy is also known as the
“love drug” or “hug drug” for
its ability to make users ultra
sensitive to visual and physical
stimuli.
Huson is accused of supply
ing chemicals for making
Ecstasy along with technical
expertise to the operators of the
lab in Escondido, Assistant U.S.
Attorney Todd Robinson said.
u
My client just
collected information
from many different
sources and gathered
it in one place. That
has probably angered
some people.
— Gus Saper
Hobart Huson’s attorney
He is also accused of intro
ducing the lab’s operators to
Thomas Lillius, a 33-year-old
suspected Ecstasy chemist from
Stockholm, Sweden, who
remains at large.
Huson’s attorney, Gus Saper
of Houston, denies the allega
tions and said Science Alliance
is a legitimate chemical supply
company and that the book,
Total Synthesis II, is intended
for information only.
The book, Saper said,
includes a disclaimer that warns
people of the legal and safety
hazards of making Ecstasy.
“My client just collected
infonnation from many differ
ence sources and gathered it in
one place,” Saper said. “That has
probably angered some people.”
A description of the book on
Amazon.com calls Total
Synthesis II “the most compre
hensive and detailed book on the
underground production of
Ecstasy and amphetamines ever
published.”
After authorities raided an
Ecstasy lab in Flagstaff, Ariz.,
earlier this year, Huson was
charged with three counts of
selling a precursor to drugs and
one count of manufacturing dan
gerous drugs.
The suspects in that case told
authorities they bought chemi
cals for making Ecstasy from
Science Alliance and learned
how to make the drug by reading
a book by Huson.

learned their children had lied to them.
Dunlap High went to extraordinary
lengths to get to the bottom of what was
otherwise a routine case of teenagers get
ting into trouble.
School Superintendent Bill Collier said
it was the right thing to do to sort the guilty
from the innocent: “It may look bad, it
may sound bad, but it’s the fairest way.”
The investigation began after police
broke up a party Oct. 6. Nobody was arrest
ed, but officers took down the names of
everyone present and traced the registration

of all cars parked there. Their list of 15 ath
letes was given to school officials.
Three students admitted guilt when
confronted. But many others claimed that
they had left the party as soon as they real
ized alcohol was present. So school offi
cials proposed the polygraphs.
Two students were suspended from
the team after refusing to take the test,
and seven more were suspended after
flunking. Collier pointed out that three
students were cleared who might other
wise have been punished.
