Khat

Khat is a plant with leaves that you chew to get energy and a high. It's relaxing yet stimulating. Khat leaves contain mostly cathine and a little cathinone and it's mostly the cathinone (phenylpropanoneamine, 2-aminopropiophenone) that gives you energy with cathine contributing very little to the energy and the high. Khat is used to study similar to Adderall, Ritalin, Modafinil, and Caffeine. Khat can be chewed freshly picked from the khat tree or brewed into a tea. The leaves must be used quickly, or it will all turn into cathine (phenylpropanolamine, D-Norpseudoephedrine) within 3 days of picking them. Khat is legal in some places like Ethiopia, Yemen, and South Africa, yet illegal in other places like the US and Canada. Khat releases dopamine and norepinephrine. Khat is like Caffeine, but stronger. Khat is Nature's Ritalin. The Khat plant needs less water than the Coffee plant and can withstand higher temperatures than the coffee plant. Khat loves the sunlight.

I picked and brewed fresh khat leaves. It gave me energy to study and do homework and clean. I got a nice high off of khat. Khat is the coffee of the future.

Dibutyl ether

Dibutyl ether is an ether that is used for complex grignard reactions where higher temperatures are needed. Dibutyl ether is good for reacting benzyl magnesium chloride (made from benzyl chloride and magnesium turnings in dibutyl ether) with acetonitrile in dibutyl ether at elevated temperatures. Then reacting it with hydrochloric acid to get Phenyl-2-Propanone. Dibutyl ether increases the yield compared to diethyl ether. Dibutyl ether is produced by reacting butanol with sulfuric acid. The temperature cannot be too high, as butanol could dehydrate into butene (1-butene). The ether must be stored with butylated hydroxytoluene as explosive peroxides can form.

Thiophene

Thiophene is a chemical that is useful in a lot of stuff. It can be bought or synthesized from butane and sulfer at the vapor phase at 65 °C. Thiophene is an aromatic compound. Thiophene can be chloromethylated by formaldehyde solution and hydrogen chloride at 5 °C or lower to 2-chloromethylthiophene/2-(Chloromethyl)thiophene (TP-MeCl).

Alaskan alarm clock

The Alaskan alarm clock is waking up your girlfriend or wife by throwing water with a ton of ice cubes or snow in it. Sometimes you can add live Alaskan Salmon. Then you both have some beers to warm up.

Tom: I woke up my wife with the Alaskan alarm clock. She complained she smelled like salmon and the beers didn't help. Now Stephanie made me sleep in the cold garage.

Chalk

Chalk is one of the following.

1) A white or colored cylinder that you write on the chalkboard with. Some Chalk is used for sidewalks.

2) A powdery substance that you put on your hands when lifting heavy weights for extra friction.
3) 4F-MPH (4-Fluoromethylphenidate) that can be used as a study aid or to get high. Last a short to medium time like 2 to 4+ hours and is stronger than Cocaine, Crack, and Ritalin, but weaker than Blue Speed (Ethylamphetamine, Amphetamine). Chalk can be either snorted, smoked, or mixed with water and drank.

4) That blue stuff you put in the pool stick to shoot the white ball to hit the ball in the hole. Pool is a 2 player game, but you can practice on your own.

1) Ms Breeze: ok. Today we are going to write an essay. First take notes from the chalkboard and then read the article. *writes more stuff on the Chalkboard with chalk.

2) Stan: *puts powder on his hands
*lifts heavy weights
3) Tyler: You got any Chalk. Like you know, 4F-MPH.

Walter: Sure. I got a gram of Chalk. $30 dollars. *shows 4F-MPH.
Tyler: *pays Walter.

Tyler: measures 20mg Chalk (4F-MPH) on a scale, then mixes it with water and drinks it.

Tyler: This is a good study aid! I think I'll have a beer! *has a beer.

*4F-MPH plus ethanol becomes 4F-EPH (4-Fluoroethylphenidate).

Tyler: Now I feel high.
4) Fernando: *Puts Chalk on the pool stick. *Shoots pool ball

MPA

MPA (Methiopropamine, MethioPropAmine), is a stimulant with a thiophene ring instead of a phenyl ring. MPA is short for Methiopropamine. This stimulant is the thiophene analog of methamphetamine. MPA is 1/4 the strength of amphetamine and 1/6 the strength of methamphetamine. So amphetamine is 4 times stronger than MPA while methamphetamine is 6 times stronger than MPA (Methiopropamine). MPA is sometimes called Speed Jr, Amp Jr, or Amphetamine jr.

WARNING: Always start with lower doses due to differences between individual body weight, tolerance, metabolism, and personal sensitivity.

Logan: I took 40mg of MPA (Methiopropamine). I cleaned my room and did my homework. I then went to the lab. I took 200mg of Modafinil the next day.

White blood cells

White blood cells are cells inside of your body that kill of viruses, especially if if recognizes the virus. Vaccines are weakened or dead viruses that go into your body to help the white blood cells kill it so that if it encounters the alive form of the virus it could kill it easier. In addition, eating fruits and vegetables and especially onions can give the body and white blood cells vitamins and minerals and especially sulfer to help you kill off viruses and bacteria more. Also, kids get dirty and eat dirt and stuff that falls on the ground and that's OK (at least it used to be until coronavirus ruined it so we all got to wear masks and not eat stuff from the floor). Their white blood cells can fight it off and familiarize itself with bacteria and viruses. As long as they wash their hands afterwards and always after using the bathroom. Adults should also wash their hands when they use the bathroom. Some people died from the coronavirus. Some people got better, but they lost their sense of smell. White blood cells also help you fight off measles, mumps, rubella, meningitis, the flu, the common cold, chicken pox, and more. White blood cells are also in cartoon form in the movie, Osmosis Jones and the show Ozzy and Drix. The sky blue guy is Osmosis Jones (Ozzy, white blood cell) and the red and yellow guy is Drix (cold pill).

Tyler: I got a cold, but I'm drinking emergen-C and eating onion and avocado salad with lime and salt with rice and chicken. If it gets worse, I'll take a cold pill.

*gets worse
Tyler: Takes cold pill.
*white blood cell and cold pill attacking the common cold.
*4 days later

Tyler: Hey, my cold is all gone! Thanks white blood cells and cold pill.
