Poor man's cocaine

Poor man's cocaine is 4F-MPH (4-Fluoromethylphenidate). It's usually stronger than cocaine. It forms 4F-EPH (4-Fluoroethylphenidate, Poor man's cocaethylene) when you drink 4F-MPH (4-Fluoromethylphenidate) with ethanol (a few shots of vodka, a few beers, or drinking alcohol spiked fruit punch). Poor man's cocaine is also much safer on the heart as it's not cardiotoxic. Cocaine is cardiotoxic. Poor man's cocaine (4F-MPH) a great value. 4F-MPH can also be used as a study drug, while cocaine can not be used as a study drug.

Tony: I snorted 30mg of Poor man's cocaine and had spiked fruit punch and got high as fuck for 4 hours. Best stuff ever! Who needs cocaine anyways?

Phenyl-2-Propanol

Phenyl-2-Propanol is a chemical synthesized by reacting benzylmagnesium chloride with acetaldehyde in diethyl ether (or dibutyl ether), or by reacting phenylacetaldehyde (or PAL synthesized from styrene and peracetic acid in a nitrogen or argon atmosphere to avoid over oxidation to phenylacetic acid (PAA) ) with methylmagnesium iodide in diethyl ether (or dibutyl ether). Phenyl-2-Propanol is also known as P2Pol. Phenyl-2-Propanol can be oxidized to Phenyl-2-Propanone by using PCC, or by using Sodium Hypochlorite (pool shock, NaOCl), and glacial acetic acid. P2Pol can also be oxidized to P2P by using Sodium Chlorite (NaO2Cl), and acetic acid.

Colorless liquid.

PCC

PCC is Pyridinium ChloroChromate (Pyridinium chlorochromate). It oxidizes primary alcohols to aldehydes and secondary alcohols to ketones. One has to be careful with the amount of water present in the reaction. If water is present, it can add to the aldehyde to create the hydrate, which could be further oxidized by a second equivalent of PCC if it is present. This is not a concern with ketones because there is no H directly bonded to C

Tony: I oxidized ethanol (100% drinking alcohol, ethyl alcohol) to ethanal (acetaldehyde, the stuff that gives you hangovers) while keeping things dry to prevent over oxidation to ethanoic acid (acetic acid, pure vinegar, final metabolite of ethanol). Then I chloromethylated thiophene to 2-(chloromethyl)thiophene. Then I condensed acetaldehyde with ethylamine to form acetaldehyde ethylimine. Then I formed a grignard reagent of 2-(methylmagnesium chloro)thiophene and reacted them in diethyl ether to form ethiopropamine (EPA). This stimulant could be used for ADHD and ADD. It makes you confident, happy, helps you remember stuff, and keeps you focused. It's weaker than Ritalin, but it's stronger than coffee.

Warning /!\: Research chemicals have not been evaluated for long term effects and is not for human consumption.

Khat

Khat is a plant with leaves that you chew to get energy and a high. It's relaxing yet stimulating. Khat leaves contain mostly cathine and a little cathinone and it's mostly the cathinone (phenylpropanoneamine, 2-aminopropiophenone) that gives you energy with cathine contributing very little to the energy and the high. Khat is used to study similar to Adderall, Ritalin, Modafinil, and Caffeine. Khat can be chewed freshly picked from the khat tree or brewed into a tea. The leaves must be used quickly, or it will all turn into cathine (phenylpropanolamine, D-Norpseudoephedrine) within 3 days of picking them. Khat is legal in some places like Ethiopia, Yemen, and South Africa, yet illegal in other places like the US and Canada. Khat releases dopamine and norepinephrine. Khat is like Caffeine, but stronger. Khat is Nature's Ritalin. The Khat plant needs less water than the Coffee plant and can withstand higher temperatures than the coffee plant. Khat loves the sunlight.

I picked and brewed fresh khat leaves. It gave me energy to study and do homework and clean. I got a nice high off of khat. Khat is the coffee of the future.

Dibutyl ether

Dibutyl ether is an ether that is used for complex grignard reactions where higher temperatures are needed. Dibutyl ether is good for reacting benzyl magnesium chloride (made from benzyl chloride and magnesium turnings in dibutyl ether) with acetonitrile in dibutyl ether at elevated temperatures. Then reacting it with hydrochloric acid to get Phenyl-2-Propanone. Dibutyl ether increases the yield compared to diethyl ether. Dibutyl ether is produced by reacting butanol with sulfuric acid. The temperature cannot be too high, as butanol could dehydrate into butene (1-butene). The ether must be stored with butylated hydroxytoluene as explosive peroxides can form.

HCl

HCl is short for Hydrogen Chloride or the Hydrochloride group. HCl (aq) is an aqueous solution of Hydrochloric acid. Ethylamine HCl is the salt of Ethylamine and Hydrogen Chloride.

I reacted freebase liquid volatile ethylamine with Hydrogen Chloride gas in ethanol and got Ethylamine HCl

This feels a little light

When someone gives you a bag of groceries and it feels like there's a few things missing because the bag feels a little light. So you go back to get the rest of the groceries. When someone hands you speed (Amphetamine, Ethylamphetamine) after you paid money and the gram of speed feels a little light more like two thirds of a gram to three quarters of a gram. So you weigh it and demand the rest, and they give you more. Or if you're buying 5 dollars of cheddar cheese and it feels more like 3 or 4 dollars of cheddar cheese so you ask for more. When you're in college studying organic chemistry, mathematics, history, geology, and you forgot a book because the bookbag feels a little light. When you make money selling coffee and the stack of money they pay you feels a little light today. When you ask a friend for half the energy drink and they only give you a third and you say this feels a little light, so they pour more. It means it's not enough or something is missing.

Tony: You got the 40 of those 100mg Flodafinil pills.

Steve: Sure.

Tony: *Hands money.
Steve: *Hands Flodafinil pills.

Tony: This feels a little light! Are you jacking me?!
Steve: Hands over the 3 he was taking from Tony that he planned to do later.
