Protip: If you're going to cook a pill, any pill, so as to inject it:
1) Reconsider strongly what you are going to do - it's not very smart no matter how you prep it. 2) Filter the solution. Lots of organic chemistry stuff available online for your safety and enjoyment. 3) Consider an organic chemistry course in college. Attend the labs. 4) Do not watch Mad Men reruns.
Colorado is working on it for marijuana. They appear to be taking a careful, considered approach and I'm going to bet this is the framework for all sorts of 'bad for you but good for the economy' things to wander down the pike.
This country is looking like something out of a Robert Heinlein novel. Where's The Prophet?
TLDR; this is an incredible dumbass drug. They take codeine, which apparently is easier to get than heroin Russia, run it through some Mad Men style kitchen chemistry, don't really bother filtering it, don't have a clue about what they made then... wait for it... inject it. Bypassing every single organismal defense mechanism save for the few remaining T-cells that the user's bone marrow has scrounged up.
That sounds useful - Sandy had a 13 foot storm surge.
When I first came here, this was all swamp. Everyone said I was daft to build a data center on a swamp, but I built in all the same, just to show them. It sank into the swamp. So I built a second one. That sank into the swamp. So I built a third. That burned down, fell over, then sank into the swamp. But the fourth one stayed up. And that's what you're going to get, Lad, the strongest data center in all New York.
Cars should have this! There is no good reason to lean forward and touch a screen to adjust the volume and skip a track. If we had gestures in cars that would be a real breakthrough.
Let's think this one through, AC.
Imagine going down your typical American freeway, surrounded by barely controlled four ton (3600 kg) home entertainment centers at 70 mph (110 km/hr for the rest of you). Now, imagine, if you will, that same freeway with half the 'drivers' gesticulating wildly trying to get the last Justin Bieber track to play again.
If your partner is drinking enough of the runoff to immediately change her (?) libido, both you and your partner have other, more pressing problems to worry about.
, it's more that the products of degradation are supposed to be [relatively] inert.
I think this is the key. As FFF said, it's interesting that the apparent activation energy to flip between active and inactive is fairly small. The good news is that it should be 'easy' to treat runoff such that you really do destroy the bioactivity - you probably don't need large amounts of energy to do so. The bad news is that dumping metric shit tons of the stuff in a small, slow flowing creek isn't going to solve the problem and you will have to build a treatment plant.
Farmers hate that.
What some aspiring organic chemist needs to do is figure out a low energy synthesis between hormone disrupters and similar molecules and some chemical that has psychoactive properties. From my hazy memory of organic chem, I think that the indole nucleus is used in both hormones and amphetamine like drugs. Breaking bad on steroids, so to speak.
You will be encouraged to think for yourself and explore other avenues of thought (at least theoretically, "thinking" and Twitter really shouldn't be mentioned in the same sentence).
Al Jazeera has been making quiet inroads into the "Western World" for the past 5 years. That's who CNN should be afraid of since they are both playing the same game.
Actually it does differ. The 'Red Terror' (Socialist / Communist / ????) from the 1960's had a message they were trying to impart to the proletariat. Arise and shake off your chains. The Mujahedin / Muslim Radicals want to convert other non aligned Muslims to the cause (and then wipe out everyone else). There are different targets to the message and qualitatively and quantitatively different styles to the broadcast of the message.
I think most Westerners don't see that because blatant hate speech / incitement to violence is essentially heavily censored and things aren't so bad in (most) of the West as to have a huge pool of angry (usually) young men with nothing to lose.
No, I'm sure Obama knows about it and either feels that he can't overcome whatever political support the DEA has or just doesn't care enough to get entangled in the controversy (likely the latter).
Remember, there still are lots of people who, if they saw 'Reefer Madness' would believe that they were looking at a documentary.
And yes, we need to scale back the DEA - but the problem is how to get enough political capital to do so. Won't happen for quite some time.
The Marijuana issue may indeed be the turning point. A mild, relatively harmless drug that has been demonized for years and that could be legalized giving states a wonderful new tax base and thousands of employment opportunities. Money is going to win over tired dogma sooner or later.
She's lucky and likely a 'model' patient (no obvious psychiatric illness, acts rather responsibly, has a defined condition). For many people in chronic pain, treatment is very problematic. First off, opiates aren't great drugs. Their efficacy wears off, they have lots of other nasty side effects, the controlled aspect of them makes travel and work difficult.
Lots off doctors have kinda bizarre worries about lots of things - lawyers, DEA agents, hospital administrators. I've personally worked with DEA field people in the past. They've been appropriate, professional, polite. The.50 caliber semi automatics seemed a bit overkill for the situation, but hey, whatever floats your boat. But, like many other large institutions, the people upstairs aren't the people downstairs and you really have to wonder about where the DEA's guidance comes from.
That's a really strange thing for the DEA to do, because in so doing, they're creating incentive for doctors to write anonymous prescriptions. If prescriptions are public, then as a patient I don't want my name on them, and doctors shouldn't have to put their names on them either. DEA is undermining the entire purpose of prescription drug laws. If I were an Oregon legislator, I would remove prescription drug regulations ()remove the database requirement) until Congress in DC passed a new law making it illegal for the federal government to snoop on these state records.
Feds are getting to be a real problem, to the point where they are threatening consumer safety and creating all the drug problems that they were originally charged with fighting. Remember this, the next time you think about voting for a Republicrat.
You can't possibly write an 'anonymous' prescription. The whole idea of a prescription drug is that it is tied to a provider and a patient.
That's what your friendly neighborhood drug dealer is for.
The feds will fall back on the Interstate Commerce Clause. That's one thing that has them upset with the attempts by several states to legalize marijuana. Since it can be grown and consumed locally, the Interstate Clause doesn't necessarily apply.
Not that it will stop them. If medical insurance is a bit of Interstate Commerce, than pretty much anything is - 'Hey - that air molecule crossed a state border. We're in charge now....'

We need another warning label on gasoline.
"Do not inject directly into veins."
That should solve the problem.
Nah, legalize everything.
Let God sort it out.

Pavlovian even.

Candles taste better when they're fresh.
When you computerize chaos,
you get computerized chaos.
Or for that matter, the part of the course dealing with exponential functions.
You didn't pass calculus, did you?
That's only in the US. The rest of the world uses the metric system.
