Carpet in a bathroom? sounds too likely for somebody to piss on it and then it'd never want to come out, and be less than pleasant to remove.
My upstairs bathroom has a lino flooring. Its just as well too, because I once was going in there for water and accidentally dropped a bottle of fuming sulfuric acid. Bounced off the bog seat and hit the floor, and there is now a permanent brown splatter-mark where the concentrated H2SO4 hit both and seared an abstract pattern into the floor and bog seat, that won't ever, ever come out.
I'm about to make an order for several grams of memantine, a couple of grams of mitragynine (an alkaloid found in the plant Mitragyna speciosa, otherwise known as kratom, its used as a herbal opioid, traditionally in southeast asian countries, such as thailand, as infusions, as chewed leaves, in this case I'm buying one of the alkaloids isolated from it, mitragynine, one of the two main MOR agonists present, since I would sooner use the pure compound, with its being accurately weighable, and lacking some of the minor alkaloids present in kratom, such as mitraphylline, which are structural relatives of yohimbine, an adrenergic alpha2 autoreceptor antagonist, which causes noradrenaline release, something I do have two meds that act in a directly opposite way, a muscle relaxer for the nerve damage in my leg, tizanidine and also clonidine, most usually used as a blood pressure lowering medication by blocking NA release, but also with a calming effect, which I take to help prevent me sensory overloading. Still, will be nice to be able to simply take out my sensitive milligram balance, and weigh out the quantity desired without having to worry about crap in there I don't want and that would need my other rx meds to avoid making me uncomfortable.
I might just get myself some tianeptine also, just because its an unusually acting atypical antidepressant, that works via delta opioid receptor agonism, along with some, weaker Mu-opioid receptor agonist properties. Particularly because I want to be able to follow up with some research I did a while back into an allylic halogenated derivative of morphine, alpha-chloromorphide, that lacks almost totally any reports of use in humans which are accurate, because the stuff has been made and run up in trials and it proved to have some very unusual, distinctive psychostimulant properties, rather than anything opioid like.
BUT, whilst I have two suspects as to potential mode of action, I've never tried another delta opioid receptor agonist, and that is one of my suspects, so I need to get a 'feel' for the effects of DOR agonists in-vivo, so tianeptine will serve for that. As will a rearrangement product derived from mitragynine, mitragynine pseudindoxyl is known as a DOR agonist. The other potential mode of action would be, based on structural similarities to some of the minor phenanthrene opioids found in the opium poppy, thebaine and oripavine in particular, possibly a strychnine-like action as an antagonist of the strychnine-sensitive glycine receptor. I'm familiar with common light pain meds like codeine, dihydrocodeine, and take oxycodone and morphine on rx, and I've also had opium poppy pod tea, which is actually very different to pharmaceutical morphine or codeine. the tea has stimulant effects due to strychnine-like effects from thebaine. Its a toxic convulsant in excess, but in lesser doses it has stimulant effects different to traditional monoaminergic releaser/reuptake inhibitors.
So some comparative bioassays are in order. Plus I need to get the materials to build a small pressure-vessel, actually I had something disposable in order, since it needs to handle hot (100 'C) 15% hydrobromic acid in anhydrous glacial acetic acid for a couple of hours, sealed and put in a pan full of boiling water. It'll be corrosive, but plan is to use a CO2 gas pistol cartridge, emptied out, refilled with the experimental sample and then soldered shut, since the pressure ought not to get anywhere close to the pressure of a full CO2 bottle.
