Lol deerfart...I've always found the artificial chemicals vs natural argument/debate odd to say the least. What difference does it matter if any given thing comes from a plant/animal/fungus/mineral/microbe etc. vs another substance that was born in a flask?
What I do find really funny is those 'green' types that insist all 'chemical stuff' is bad, up to the point where they would for instance, perhaps have no problem with the DMT (dimethyltryptamine, the psychedelic) that is produced naturally inside us all as a neurotransmitter, or the very same when extracted from a plant source, but would scream the house down at the thought of taking an artificial 'chemical', the very same, identical configuration of atoms, had it been knocked together via indole, oxalyl chloride, a bit of diethylamine and a quick LAH reduction.
Or those who insist 'it must be good for you, its natural' etc.
They never seem to consider that so is batrachotoxin from the poison arrow frogs, palytoxin produced by marine dinoflagellate plankton, poison ivy, hemlock, aconite, hellebores, and so on. Sure, deathcap mushrooms are perfectly natural, but one small, natural bite will kill you slowly and horribly
I've no aversion to chemical 'stuff'...be a pretty bad outlook for a chemist after all, but that vodka would have been rank no matter where it came from or how it was made.
I don't care for smirnoff in general, even the unflavoured one has a sort of subtle-ish oily aftertaste to it, cheap vodka can be drinkable, depending on the brand, but some of it is bloody foul. Smirnoff do an apple flavour one too, but bugger me if I'm drinking any.
I'n this case, I'd far prefer something totally unnatural to the natural EtOH.
This strawberry cream tequila stuff is nice though, although expensive, £19.99 a bottle. I too a gamble really as I really hate synthetic strawberry flavour, like is used for a lot of soft drinks for example, or some candy. But I had just been paid and used no money for most of a week before realizing I had any.
Although I'm going to save some for a little 3-methoxy-PCP, and perhaps a little camfetamine (an analog of amphetamine with a norbornane group built into the sidechain, really smooth stuff, although on the whole I really, really hate stimulants, not really for recreational use though, nor regular use, just for those occasions when I really HAVE to get something done and can't focus for the bloody life of me. And of course, some benzos for post-usage
(etizolam, a thienodiazepine is unscheduled here, and pretty sure, unless there has been a very recent change in the 'law', in the US also (analog act only applying to sch I and II substances, benzos IIRC being sch V, aside from flunitrazepam/rohypnol.)
