Hi I'm a chemist, my current work is with PFAS compounds, often known as forever chemicals. Please ask me about those, or anything else you are curious about related to chemistry. I will try to give you a solid response.

    Does a chemistry degree prepare you to make your own meth?

          They smoked it out of the Gatorade bottle. You can't make meth in a Gatorade bottle.

                  My best friend who died in Feb had a chemistry degree. He ended out working for banks doing fraud checking which could lead to a private investigation firm where we planned to use our TruAnnon style gumshoe skills to be the coolest non profit detective agency to have its only two members killed. Then fentanyl.

                    In his honor go to the linen section of a target to drop acid and then blast agoraphobia nosebleed inside the store.

                        Acid and psychedelics in general make me a combo of hunter s Thompson and Brace Belden and a bit of David Byrn in True Stories. This was also while blasting cybergrind about Japanese War crimes. My friend who i did acid like this with died recently and now I'm not sure how to do acid cause when I trip I wanna watch eraserhead, look at gravel lots and talk about how awful everything is in a truly deep way. I do psyches different and it sucks I lost my cohort for it.

                        Edit: also where he worked at a bank and I could +1 we went to like six sigma meetings and things like that on acid, like real ass corporate shit. It was a Matt Christman at cpac experience.

                            It's my favorite movie hands down. I'm gonna cry and listen to the soundtrack because we basically would trip and go to shitty 5 over 1 developments and make similar comments as David.

                            "It's an all purpose shape. A box. No one knows what goes on in there"

                            I'm may not touch psyches again now that my buddy is gone unless I can find someone equally on my wavelength that way because I honestly hate the fabricates cuddly love atmosphere people usually wanna trip to. I don't want comfort on acid, I want to actually hate the halogen lights and ails of a department store in absolute clarity. I actually trip better on an adventure to uncover further pox marks in the fabric of our world than a manufactured good time. I'm really weird that way though and can't not recommend it harder.

                                Thanks a bunch. It's been since february but he was the IRL hexbear user esque pal people seem to pine for and...there were neat schemes that died with him.... just hard to do things you enjoyed with someone that are intense experiences especially when they're horrifying and possibly dangerous.

                        We actually dropped 2cb nbomes in the target linnen section the first time and didn't tell anyone we were with. We tried to unionize to the food court and made a contest between who could convince.theost people to go on the wrong escalator.

                              I'm over a decade deep in kitchens and have done literally every drug. The kitchen I'm in is actually hilariously wholesome. But yeah, don't worry, I smoke a stupid amount of pot and drink more than one should but have a real good handle on anything else. I appreciate the concern but I'm fine, have fallen into worse shit but worse shit just doesn't really keep a hold on me. Like, I smoke crack a few times a year and have for a good long time and am genuinely a casual crack user. I can go worse into booze maybe but that lasts about a day or so cause my tummy is shitty, so yeah, don't worry

      yeah, like @GalaxyBrain mentioned meth is easy to make. LSD is harder but still not crazy difficult. you could make millions of doses of acid (and many other psychs) for a few thousand dollars with the right synthetic method (see PiHKAL and TiHKAL)

      Yeah, you should be ready around halfway through your second 4th semester, if you are trying to understand what is going on and not just use a recipie.
