for all you chem fanatics (or people who just know their shit)

alright, i need your help again. i have to write a very long paper for the IB program at my school. i chose to write about chemistry, which means that i have to not only write a reasearch paper, but do a lab that corresponds to it.

my topic idea so far has something to do with some sort of organic synthesis process. then i'm hoping to recreate that synthesis in the lab (or a smaller scale of it depending on the substance i choose).

any ideas on an organic substance this could work with. help me out guys!

just talk about building a meth lab. you'll get an A+ for sure.

Word. I can cook crank with my eyes closed.

touch me i'm sick · 03.16.2008, 10:28 PM

yeah totally but, i doubt my teacher would be down with making drugs for a school project... haha

I smoked crack in my CP Chem class once. I put the end of the stem to the bunson burner and started poppin'. True story.

Seriously, though. I don't really have any idea, homie. The only chemistry related shit I've ever done is extracting DXM, 1-4 Butanedol, Prophylexedrine, and LSA. All pretty elementary shit.

uh? no... let me check...

when i was in undergrad at georgia tech, some chemistry grad students were busted making commercial quantities of PCP out of the school's lab.

the atlanta journal-constitution headline read

"Tech Grad Students Arrested in Drug Manufacturing Scheme"

the student paper headline read

"GA Tech Chem Grads Synthesize Purest PCP the DEA Has Ever Seen"

....why the were making PCP and not LSD i wil never know....

touch me i'm sick · 03.16.2008, 11:50 PM

hahah that'ss funny. i hear lsd's pretty difficult to make. but anyways that's not the point...

!@#$%! · 03.16.2008, 11:51 PM

my cokehead "friends" bought their shit at the university

--
what i mean by "friends" is that they weren't really my friends. and i wasn't a cokehead. but they turned out to be such assholes. like all cokeheads.

the meth idea: you could probably get a few CAS hours for hunting down a meth lab and like, conducting interviews on how their process works.

kidding.

maybe try something involving perfume? i've always thought that was kinda neat.

touch me i'm sick · 03.17.2008, 06:44 PM

yeah i've done the perfume thing with esthers in class last year. .

schizophrenicroom · 03.17.2008, 06:52 PM

hmm. i loathe chemistry, so i guess i'm not much of a help here

but i'm sure you'll find something fun.

m1rr0r dash · 03.17.2008, 07:03 PM

one word: FLUBBER.

that's where it's at, man.

touch me i'm sick · 03.17.2008, 07:03 PM

that'd be sweet as anything

yo, how about the famous miller experiment?

i know it's ambitious but-- holy fuck!

???
