I'm thinking 'that was a good meal'
Just finished off most of a roast chicken, and a big bowl of spicy king prawns in sweet and sour sauce, and two peach yogurts. Ending it all with a can of tennent's super (UK brand of high-strength lager), I think I might just have some mojito too. And 30mg of oxycodone IR.
Stuck my dressing gown on, and now I'm nice and warm, well stuffed, and contented, sitting back and smoking my pipe. Lol. Like a 25yo old fart. Eyes half closed and wondering weather to nibble on the giant chewy chocolate chip cookies I have, or some sour strawberry jelly candies. Might save the cookies for later though. After munching down most of that roast chicken (my family just take a breast between two when they do a chicken and save me the rest. I've saved a few scraps for breakfast but ate almost all of it, after chowing down the sweet and sour prawns I got from the chinese the other day.
Other than thinking 'mmm I'm stuffed and comfy as can be' I'm thinking that I wish my 4-methoxy-phencyclidine would hurry up and arrive...and I need to buy some more pins and micron filters so I can IM/IV the stuff. Can't wait to try 4-MeO-PCP
I have an interview with an autism researcher coming up, who is doing her dissertation on aspie/auties and their rxns to MDMA and possibly on mushrooms. Shes taken mushrooms herself once, in a healing session to aid in processing previously unprocessed grief. I've taken both, although I have found I dislike entactogens, other than AMT, I've found that the feelings that MDMA, methylone (beta-keto MDMA, its the methcathinone analog of MDMA) produce feel forced, unnatural and fake. I don't need to be made more pro-social, I am not meant to be, and disliking stimulants in general, that means that MDMA just is not for me. Mushrooms on the other hand, they are definitely one of my allies. I try to get out and go picking every season, collecting liberty caps and wavy caps (Psilocybe semilanceata and P.cyanescens respectively)
I'm all relaxed, and very sleepy. I think I'll not drink much of that mojito, just a slug or two, finish my beer, finish reading the research journal article I'm reading, hunt down a couple more on the same subject, post them where they need to go and then stretch out on my bed. That is, if I don't fall asleep in my computer chair.
And soon I have lab work to do, and an AMPAkine to synthesize, my memory is shite, and the compound I've been reading about looks fantastic as far as potency goes with dose ranges from 0.1mg/kg (rat, oral) to 0.001mg/kg (rat, intravenously..how one finds a vein on a rat, however, I cannot even begin to guess) Toxicity seems minimal. Although chances are I might be the first human ever to try DM-235. Or if not, I am certainly one of the first ever to taste it.
I have everything needed to synthesize my target compound-propionyl chloride, benzoyl chloride, piperazine, 30% hydrochloric acid and solvents. All I need are a new chromatography column to purify my DM-235 via flash chromatography; and some TLC plates, as well as an acid gas filter cartridge for my gas mask. A similar reaction scheme for producing the (crappy, I've tried it, and hated it) stimulant drug n-benzyl piperazine gives yields of BZP up to some high-end 90% range though, giving only some dibenzylpiperazine as a byproduct. The potential dibenzoyl or dipropionylpiperazines are not toxic however, and besides, with doses in the 100s of micrograms any exposure to them would be minimal, so even if they were highly toxic, it would be unlikely to matter. In fact, its possible that some potential byproducts may actually be active AMPAkines themselves, only orders of magnitude weaker, and completely inactive at the doses used for DM-235 so I may well be able to get away with just buying the TLC plates. Silica for packing chromatography columns is bloody expensive, $100 + a kilo, so I would rather put off buying any until I have to. Although I do need a column and the silica and alumina packing to go with it, I'd rather put away say, 25-30 quid every time I get paid until I have enough for a kilo each of silica and alumina. The columns themselves on the other hand are not too expensive, they can be had for a reasonable price on ebay. I've even seen them go for as little as $/£15 plus shipping. I can afford that no problem. Might just look for one as soon as my payment for the 4-methoxy-PCP has cleared the bank. Should be fun, I haven't got my hands dirty in the lab for a little too long. In the meantime I might just try and synthesize some Stryker's reagent, an interesting looking catalyst for highly selective reductions of carbonyl compounds like ketones, aldehydes, esters etc. and able to be regenerated in-situ, using hydrogen gas. Very air sensitive though, and must be stored under nitrogen or argon and used with solvents that have been carefully degassed.
