Well first you need a solid gen chem base, and you can use pretty much any textbook for that, go get one on libgen. Then you need a solid orgo base, and despite elitists arguing over authors, you can use any book for that too, I had Clayden, Greeves, and Warren (pic related). After that if you actually know somethin about somethin you can work with nitrates, sulfates, and things your can get from hardware stores, acetone, paint thinner, HCl, and do your own reactions which can be cool, but also dangerous, I wouldn't try making drugs unless you had a formal education. I'm halfway through my phd and I'd still be wary of trying anything I synthesized because you're half likely to poison yourself if you did anything wrong or if you didn't do a clean purification (then again I never tried making drugs because I enjoy not being expelled).
