Cigarette

A cigarette is tobacco that is pre-wrapped. A single cigarette is called a loosie, while a box of cigarettes generally contain 18 cigarettes. Cigarettes contain nicotine, which is a stimulant, relaxant, and cognitive enhancer (although nicotine is generally addictive). The problem is that cigarettes also contain over 600 cancer causing chemicals which can be bad for you when smoked (burned and inhaled). An alternative is called a vape. Vaping is inhaling a vapor with nicotine and glycerin (vegetable glycerol) and propylene glycol. Vaping is at least 95% less dangerous than smoking and, unlike nicotine patches and gum, vape is actually way more effective at helping you quit smoking. The vaping flavors help too. Cigarettes used to be cool, but now vaping is cool. Smoking and vaping is for people 18 years of age or older in some places, 21 years of age or older in other places. It's the chemicals in cigarettes that cause lung cancer, not the nicotine. If you still want to smoke, go ahead, but consider switching to vaping.

Josh: You should quit smoking Stan. Try vaping!
Tawna: Yeah Stan. Try vaping!
Stan: OK. This is my last cigarette. I will switch to vaping.

*Smokes the last newport cigarette.

*The next day

Stan: *Vapes juul
Josh: Good job Stan!

Tawna: Yeah! Good job!

Diethyl ether

Diethyl ether is a solvent that is useful for grignard reactions. It's also an anesthetic. Diethyl ether is highly flammable (even electrical outlets and too high temperatures can ignite it. Diethyl ether must be stored with butylated hydroxytoluene to avoid peroxide products which are explosive. Diethyl ether is also sometimes used for extractions, but other solvents like ethyl chloride, chloroform, toluene, hexane, and dichloromethane are generally preferred. Diethyl ether is synthesized by reacting ethanol with sulfuric acid. This reaction must be carried out at temperatures lower than 150 °C in order to ensure that an elimination product (ethylene) is not a product of the reaction. At higher temperatures, ethanol will dehydrate to form ethylene. The reaction to make diethyl ether is reversible, so eventually an equilibrium between reactants and products is achieved. Getting a good yield of ether requires that ether be distilled out of the reaction mixture before it reverts to ethanol.

I reacted ethyl magnesium chloride in diethyl ether with acetone, then reacted it with hydrochloric acid, and got 2-methyl-2-butanol.

Advanced Shake n Bake

Advanced Shake n Bake is when you put ethylamine, lithium, Coleman's Camp Fuel, added to the soda stream bottle. A beaker has freebase Phenylpropanolamine dissolved in Pentane, Hexane, or Heptane. You should see little tiny Bronze beads start forming around the RV (Reaction Vessel, Soda Stream Bottle) floating just on top of the NP mixed around with the Li within the first 10 minutes if everything is going well. Swirl the bottle and/or heat with blow-dryer as needed to keep the reaction continuing strong throughout this process. Continue this process for probably about 25 – 45 minutes, until approximately 3/4 of the Li in the RV has been converted to Bronze. Then add Phenylpropanolamine dissolved in Pentane, Hexane, or Heptane into the RV through a funnel. Then Shake the fuck out of the bottle and heat with hair dryer and burp it to release Ethylamine pressure. The advantage of Ethylamine over Ammonia is less burping and less pressure required for keeping it liquid. Then you get Dextroamphetamine.

Dave: I made Speed (Dextroamphetamine. Not Methamphetamine, Amphetamine.) by using Advanced Shake n Bake. Thanks, Coleman's Camp Fuel, Heptane, Phenylpropanolamine, Lithium that got bronzed, liquid Ethylamine, and Li(NH2CH2CH3)4

Sleeping pill

A sleeping pill is Amitriptyline 50mg taken an hour before bed. It helps you sleep and you will even sleep in the middle of the next day for even more hours. It wears off around the third day. It's stronger than Melatonin and stronger and safer safer than Benadryl, Zzzquil, and Ambien. Only Melatonin is safer but Melatonin doesn't always work. The opposite of a sleeping pill would be a wakefulness pills like Modafinil, Armodafinil, Hydrafinil, Flodafinil (Flmodafinil), Modafiendz (N-Methyl-Flodafinil, N-Methyl-Flmodafinil), N-Methyl-Modafinil, Blue N-Methyl-Modafinil, and Eugeroic king NZT.

I took 50mg of Amitriptyline and an hour later, I was asleep all night. The next day, I slept a few more hours. I was d fully alert the third day. Best sleep ever! Thanks sleeping pill!

anamory

Anamory is when you have a reduced capacity for romantic love. Anamory is just the way someone was born, as no one is born with the same brain. A person who is anamorous may still have obsessive love about you and lust about you and want to make out with you and sleep with you, but there won't be much of the typical romantic gestures or extreme sacrifices. Sometimes, two anamorous people may sleep together and kiss and hug each other and also obsess about each other.

Dude1: Have you heard of josh, he got a beautiful and hot girlfriend who is smart.

Dude2: Yeah. But I heard that josh and veronica are both anamorous. It's an anamory relationship.

Dude1: Well, at least they won't have much love drama, just obsessive love and lust. They have lots of sex.

Dude2: Cool.

Caffeine and Green Stuff

Caffeine and green stuff is when you drink a cup of coffee or a red bull energy drink or a Monster energy drink and then you mix Kratom powder in warm water and drink it (or take Kratom pills with water). Monster is the Caffeine and Kratom is the Green Stuff!

Tony: I drank Monster energy drink and then had 3g of Kratom mixed with warm water! I feel good on this Caffeine and Green Stuff!
