"action of potassium carbonate upon a heated mixture of benzaldehyde and chloroform."
I'm not interested in speed, but I'm popping a chubby thinking about the substituted benzaldehydes that could be used instead. I'm guessing that bromo- substituted benzaldehydes would be a no, no? Well anyway, thanks for all the ideas folks!
"Also a nice little sleep aid can be easily made called trichlorobutanol from chloroform."
I've stunk up my house making a clump of that stuff. Chlorbutanol makes me feel drunk; I quit drinking, so I stay the fuck away from it. I split it up and gave it to friends, and most of them hated it, so I guess there's a reason why it's not scheduled. Also, pemoline is another one of those drugs that's easy to make, but it's a waste of time and money, unless you like grinding your teeth and experiencing the opposite of euphoria.
"aurelius can understand CCl4, but the chloroform can be easily made from acetone and bleach- what's the big deal?"
Isn't some type of formate created as a biproduct in this procedure?
aurelius: In my dreams, a bear was growing weed and cooling the halogens with a small fan. There was a sheet of glass separating the plants from the wind of the fan..When the bear wasn't home, the propellar to the fan spun off the engine, the thin glass hot so hot that it shattered and fell, fucking crushing and ripping apart the poor bear's weed. The bear was so angry, he felt like ripping a cop's skull apart, and throwing the grey matter at a wall. The bear is very irritated, because he has no weed to smoke. Arrrr, fuck the world!
Dip me in hate and give me something or someone to loath, so I can have something to live for.
