At my university, a practical class in Organic Chemistry I used to teach the process of extraction of secondary metabolites from plants by extracting cocaine from coca leaves and letting students leave with whatever they managed to extract in a little dark glass bottle. Unsurprisingly, it was later changed to extracting caffeine from grounded coffee beans (for obvious reasons) and you couldn’t take the final product home with you. However, an older colleague at my current lab still has her sealed bottle with the product as a memento. Fun times.
Funny story: no bromine is not being phased out in spa/hot tubs. Bromine lasts longer than other chlorine stabilizers in the higher relative heat of a hot tub than other chemicals. It's more cost efficient to use bromine tabs as your water stabilizer than other options that exist. In pools it's very rare to see it ever used tho.
Yeah, at the higher heat chlorine evaporates a lot more readily and interacts with particulate matter in the air to create unpleasant smelling compounds
I'm 65% sure that bromine causes infertility in boys because of something in the bromine that likes to attack something in balls. cant say for certain tho because my science teacher told me that a long time ago

The chemistry behind meth is highschool level at best, but it's very VERY temperamental. That's why you hear about meth labs blowing up all the time, especially if they use one of the more risky methods like the so called "Nazi suicide method" which really lives up to its name.
@@smartestmoronx19 it involves highly volatile chemical that are prone to exploding when you look at them sideways, but it's the fastest way to cook the stuff. Even the less dangerous methods are risky as you're usually a few degrees away from turning a solution from relatively harmless to poisonous and/or highly reactive at any given moment. Generally, the slower you go, the safer it is. Temperature control is the real key, and Grandma's candy thermometer is usually not up to the job. On a related note, there was a very interesting episode of A Thousand Ways To Die about a meth chemist using red sulphur- a VERY temperamental chemical- when cooking. He was using citric acid in the mix and had a habit of dipping his chewing gum in it to bring back some flavor now and again. He accidentally dipped it in the red sulphur- without realizing it- bit down, and blew his jaw clean off when the sulphur exploded under the pressure.
My chemistry teacher from high school confirmed he could do it with the equipment in the school lab. (although to be fair he was a PHD very overqualified)

I remember a period about 10-12 years ago when some chemical involved in the production of MDMA (molly/ecstasy) went on the banned substance list in the UK and it caused chaos in the illicit party scene. It kind of had the opposite but highly predictable effect of what was probably intended where a relatively safe street pharmaceutical suddenly became super sketchy because all these labs were having to use all kinds of different methods/processes/chemicals to try and make the desired product and turning out stuff that was at best, not great and at worst, deadly. Like many of the approaches to the war on drugs it ends up doing a lot more harm than good
I remember those days too. It was because Cambodia and Thailand destroyed around 1,300 barrels of sassafras oil. Normally they would have been shipped to Europe to distill into safrole to make MDMA but the authorities decided to crack down that year and caused a drought that lasted a few years. At least until somebody figured out that they could use PMK Glycidate as a starting material instead of safrole, thus freeing the production process from needing to depend on natural sources (sassafras trees) in far away parts of the world. 🙂
Most of these hard drugs are banned for a pretty good reason they are not good to do, the real problem is they don't help addicts and mental health problems that lead people to become hopelessly addicted
Bromine water treatment is HUGE in industrial water systems where you don't want algae and other crap in the water. It's uncommon in systems you swim in, but it's the norm for the big water cooling towers used for data centers, power plants and other things. In the large data center where I worked the cooling system was a water-spray type (heat from the air conditioners is transferred to water which heads outside to a giant tower and it's sprayed as droplets that cool down as they fall through a 20 foot tower) and we had a tank of Bromine salt solution that was periodically added to the water to keep a constant level of bromine. This was to stop bacteria and amoeba dangerous to human health (like Legionnaire's disease-causing Legionella bacteria, and the "brain eating amoeba" Nagleria Fowlerii) as well as plants that would clog up the system from growing. It was also hilarious that you could see he KNEW the names of the chemical he was calling "the first one down" and "the second one down" but he was trying not to get you demonetized so he was trying VERY hard to dance around the actual names

Having to memorize the periodic table is why I almost failed chemistry. I could look at that shit all day long and try to test myself and be like “well at least I know where the noble gasses go.”
How much of periodic table like, 1-118? Even till 54 is unnecessary, you usually memorize till 18 or at most 36(although memorized till 80 just for the sake of flexing). After that just know group 1,2,17and18 elements, and maybe the metalloids
@@parthibhayat it was by groups and each semester we would have a test over all the groups we memorized. At the end of the year the last page of the chemistry final was just a blank periodic table. You have to fill in as many elements as you could remember. You had to get a certain amount to get full credit. I don’t remember how many. But if you could keep going he gave extra credit for going over expectations.
My chemistry teacher would use the molecule diagram for various illegal drugs whenever possible to make a point. Like, when explaining what a methyl group or whatever is, he'd start by drawing amphetamine (from memory!) and then show the difference to methamphetamine. I got him to endorse my "petition to ban dihydrogen monoxide" that I was having students sign. Dude woke up every morning and chose mischief.
it makes you wonder how many chemistry degrees where inspired by an adolescent who wanted crank who later realized "Oh wait, this shits actually really cool"
DHMO annoys me tbh, it's a deliberately-clumsy ionic compound name misapplied to a covalent-bonded molecule. On the plus side though, the IUPAC systematic name 'oxidane' sounds just as scary. Especially given the similarity to eg. silane, which is a genuinely scary chemical.
I took a foraging class and the instructor introduced a plant with the opening as “so how many of you have seen breaking bad?” And then explains that this specific plant has a precursor and can be used as a herbal supplement for stimulants.

If you played GTA 5, one of the missions with Trevor actually reminds you how easy it is to make meth. It's literally just doing chemical reactions and opening up of objects to get the items you want, or in this case, just buying stuff off wall mart and doing the correct things to it. Except, that when you DIY at home instead of in a professional environment using lab grade bases, the chances of you running into a gunfight, getting a door knock, and exploding your lab (due to the chemical reactions) is really high.
The talk about the periodic table is kind of funny, because one of the things we were tested on in my inorganic chemistry class was, in fact, whether we could remember the periodic table. Like, prof just gave us a blank table with the atomic numbers written all out, and listed off a bunch of numbers for us to fill in the element. So I'm not a chemist now, but back when I was studying chemistry (the only major chem classes I managed to avoid were biochem and physical chemistry - I'm an environmental chemistry major, so those fields were deemed less essential to my knowledge...instead, I took organic, inorganic, a crapton of analytical chem, plus some geochemistry and biogeochemistry...which is actually, technically a sub-discipline of microbiology), I knew the periodic table really well. It helped a lot though, because I could estimate molar masses and do back-of-the-envelop calculations when I had no periodic table available to me (you get to remember a few common elements' molecular masses - oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, iron, sulphur....those guys).
Industrial use of bromine includes fire resistance of plastics. Bromination of vegetable oil used to be used for stabilization of citrus oil in certain soft drinks..the limonene is dissolved in treated vegetable oil which forms stabile suspension. Bromine adds density.
I had a chem teacher in college and due to breaking bad me and a friend jokingly asked him if we could make meth. He said it wasn't that difficult. But sadly we never made any. Also, "Tell me what you want, I can get you anything" I had a friend who said that to me once. And he was completely honest about that too.

Bromine is very useful in preparation of organic compounds contains hydorxyl, haldie, carboxy group because the bond dissociation of HBr is low compared to HCl and more than HI which is perfect for room temp reactions or slightly elevated conditions
Bromine is very useful imo, it can be put on as a substituent (very selective) and you can change it to literally whatever you want with the right reagent, substitution, coupling, you name it. And I think Meth is just a classic organic syn molecule, its not too hard to make, if you take organic chem anywhere you should be able to do it starting from literally any aromatic that resemble it even just a bit since its not a very complex molecule
In my country, basic solvents like acetone are in the restricted list because one police official saw it in some manual to make meth and decided now it's restricted
Alright. Step one: Gather the necessary ingredients - pseudoephedrine, iodine, lithium and a beaker. Heat it up - slowly and carefully - until it turns yellow-red. After the solution is completely mixed, you need to place the beaker on a burner and slowly boil the contents until it becomes pink. When the mixture has turned pink, you need to stop the flame and let it cool down to room temperature. Be really careful when taking it off the heat source because it will be very hot. Once cooled, you can filter the pink mixture through a coffee filter to separate any solid particles. Gather another beaker and fill it with distilled water. Transfer your filtered solution into this one, stirring it while adding drops of hydrochloric acid gradually. After the acid has been added, stir the solution for some time - until a white, crystalline substance appears at the bottom of the beaker. You will notice some liquid left over. This is water, so it just needs to be evaporated. You can simply do this by placing the beaker in a warm place until it dries up. When the solution has completely dried, you need to scrape out the crystals that were in the bottom of the beaker. Be careful to get all of the water residue off. You are not done yet. You need to crush the pink crystals into a fine power using a mortar and pestle or a grinder. After the crystals are crushed into a powder, you can use a scale to measure it and package it accordingly.
A lot of your reactions to what he's talking about are so over the top and intense. When it comes to how you are all engaging with what he's saying, it feels like your levels of enthusiasm are stuck at no lower than a 9 out of 10. It almost feels like the laughter, shock and other emotional reactions have been in-authentically drummed up to a wild level, or nearly has the same "vibe" as prank youtubers c. 2016.
Bromine, as an element, is potentially really useful for a lot of chemical applications. Just look up industrial uses of it and you'll find several completely unrelated avenues of use for it. It was huge when leaded gasolines were around because a bromo-organic compound was used to prevent lead buildup in engines. With gas being unleaded now though, bromine's relevance is more obscure, but it's still there. It pops up every now and again in any pharmaceutical/chemical research lab, and the most common place in the biotech industry is in the form of bromophenol blue, which is both a common pH indicator as well as a potent blue dye to analyze macromolecules (DNA and proteins). But bromine kind of sits in a weird spot in terms of pure chemistry, because there's a lot of situations where chlorine, which is much less toxic, can be used instead. It often means using a lot of chlorine to make up for it, but that's a tradeoff people don't question. That's kind of the purpose of bromine now, the textbook example in every organic chemistry class of "we could do that, but we wouldn't want to"
I mean, in all honesty, it's difficult to keep a train of thought, much less a fucking sentence, going when you have three dimwitted surfer dudes going "hurr durr drugs funny!* as soon a you make it three syllables in.

As I understand it Bromine cannot be stabilized from sunlight (and chlorine can be), so it would gas off too fast in direct sunlight. But I think bromine is considered a better sanitizer (maybe for higher temps, or it is less smelly? IDK), so it is used in hot tubs more commonly than chlorine as hot tubs usually have covers on them.
Bromine is used in outdoor spas and pools because the sunlight causes the chlorine to gas off and bromine doesn't gas off as much which means less chemical consumption and better disinfecting capacity

Minor error: While technically cocaine can probably be cooked (I don't have any idea how) it's far easier to simply grow coca plants and to extract it. Even that is a pain because unlike weed or even opium, coca can only be grown in very specific conditions and have a low yield. This is why meth is so popular, it's a stimulant like cocaine but you can make it cheaply
Coca plants also take forever to mature. That's why even though it could be grown elsewhere, it's only grown in South America because it's just too risky, it would take years to get any yield and most places where it can be grown aren't know for stable local governments. There also just is very little demand for cocaine outside of the Americas, probably because it's so hard to get and so expensive on other continents. It probably could pay off, but nobody wants to try.

It doesn't make mustard gas, it makes chloramine. Urine doesn't normally contain sulfur, and all mustard agents contain sulfur. It's still not something you'd wanna breathe in, but it's safe enough to be used in water treatment
One of the first things my chemistry teacher in Oberstufe at Gymnasium (which is kinda the german equivalent to high school, i guess) was that every student who took chemistry classes on that "highschool" level would easiliy be able to make Crystal Meth after they graduate. The guy was in his late sixties and one of the most boring teachers I ever had but he had his moments xD
"Research chemicals" is what Nile is talking about, where they make an analog to a drug that has one functional group difference and has similar effects.
The only reason you don’t hear of people making cocaine in their basements is because you need coca leaves or coca extract, which is damn near impossible to get your hands on as Americans. Meth, on the other hand, doesn’t require any organic materials at all, and can be made essentially by anyone who can source the required chemicals and drugs needed to make it. I am curious to know why more people aren’t making their own heroin, since opium poppies are actually completely legal to grow in the US. And especially because pure heroin is essentially unheard of in the US for the past 5 years or so. Everything is basically fentanyl now.

Unsurprisingly, it was later changed to extracting caffeine from grounded coffee beans (for obvious reasons) and you couldn’t take the final product home with you. However, an older colleague at my current lab still has her sealed bottle with the product as a memento. Fun times.

Funny story: no bromine is not being phased out in spa/hot tubs. Bromine lasts longer than other chlorine stabilizers in the higher relative heat of a hot tub than other chemicals. It's more cost efficient to use bromine tabs as your water stabilizer than other options that exist. In pools it's very rare to see it ever used tho.
I’m pretty sure Disney parks use bromine in their water rides since they don’t really smell
Yeah, at the higher heat chlorine evaporates a lot more readily and interacts with particulate matter in the air to create unpleasant smelling compounds
I'm 65% sure that bromine causes infertility in boys because of something in the bromine that likes to attack something in balls. cant say for certain tho because my science teacher told me that a long time ago
@@boobgoogler They don't smell because they high a properly qualified pool guy. Chlorine smell means bad management or somebody is charging for chemicals but not adding them.

The chemistry behind meth is highschool level at best, but it's very VERY temperamental. That's why you hear about meth labs blowing up all the time, especially if they use one of the more risky methods like the so called "Nazi suicide method" which really lives up to its name.
Another Nazi suicide method is hiring Walter White
The hell sort of method is that?
@@smartestmoronx19 it involves highly volatile chemical that are prone to exploding when you look at them sideways, but it's the fastest way to cook the stuff. Even the less dangerous methods are risky as you're usually a few degrees away from turning a solution from relatively harmless to poisonous and/or highly reactive at any given moment. Generally, the slower you go, the safer it is. Temperature control is the real key, and Grandma's candy thermometer is usually not up to the job. On a related note, there was a very interesting episode of A Thousand Ways To Die about a meth chemist using red sulphur- a VERY temperamental chemical- when cooking. He was using citric acid in the mix and had a habit of dipping his chewing gum in it to bring back some flavor now and again. He accidentally dipped it in the red sulphur- without realizing it- bit down, and blew his jaw clean off when the sulphur exploded under the pressure.
@@Scudboy17 Hmmm be easier to believe if "red sulfur" was anything more than an alchemy myth about an intermediate step in the old lead to gold quest.
@@mytech6779 it's also a sulphur allotrope when combined with certain oxidizing agents. "Red sulphur" is a nickname, not an element.

Take it as a circle or close friends talking, don't take them too professionally that's what makes trash taste different than the other prodcasts
That's to be expected imho. The hosts aren't professional hosts, just youtubers who decided to do a podcast so you can't and honestly shouldn't really expect professional podcast host level behavior from them. Not exactly trying to defend them, I hate the constant interruptions too but I've come to terms with the fact that it's just how trash taste operates.
I remember a period about 10-12 years ago when some chemical involved in the production of MDMA (molly/ecstasy) went on the banned substance list in the UK and it caused chaos in the illicit party scene. It kind of had the opposite but highly predictable effect of what was probably intended where a relatively safe street pharmaceutical suddenly became super sketchy because all these labs were having to use all kinds of different methods/processes/chemicals to try and make the desired product and turning out stuff that was at best, not great and at worst, deadly.
Like many of the approaches to the war on drugs it ends up doing a lot more harm than good
I remember those days too. It was because Cambodia and Thailand destroyed around 1,300 barrels of sassafras oil. Normally they would have been shipped to Europe to distill into safrole to make MDMA but the authorities decided to crack down that year and caused a drought that lasted a few years. At least until somebody figured out that they could use PMK Glycidate as a starting material instead of safrole, thus freeing the production process from needing to depend on natural sources (sassafras trees) in far away parts of the world. 🙂
Welp. Those that took part died off and those who stayed away survived. That's just culling of the herd for natural selection.
The war on drugs is hardly ever about the drugs, but about creating a reason to target a marginalized group of people to harass and imprison.
@@mndlessdrwerno smaller minority than the individual
Most of these hard drugs are banned for a pretty good reason they are not good to do, the real problem is they don't help addicts and mental health problems that lead people to become hopelessly addicted
Bromine water treatment is HUGE in industrial water systems where you don't want algae and other crap in the water. It's uncommon in systems you swim in, but it's the norm for the big water cooling towers used for data centers, power plants and other things. In the large data center where I worked the cooling system was a water-spray type (heat from the air conditioners is transferred to water which heads outside to a giant tower and it's sprayed as droplets that cool down as they fall through a 20 foot tower) and we had a tank of Bromine salt solution that was periodically added to the water to keep a constant level of bromine. This was to stop bacteria and amoeba dangerous to human health (like Legionnaire's disease-causing Legionella bacteria, and the "brain eating amoeba" Nagleria Fowlerii) as well as plants that would clog up the system from growing.
It was also hilarious that you could see he KNEW the names of the chemical he was calling "the first one down" and "the second one down" but he was trying not to get you demonetized so he was trying VERY hard to dance around the actual names

How much of periodic table like, 1-118?
Even till 54 is unnecessary, you usually memorize till 18 or at most 36(although memorized till 80 just for the sake of flexing). After that just know group 1,2,17and18 elements, and maybe the metalloids
@@parthibhayat it was by groups and each semester we would have a test over all the groups we memorized. At the end of the year the last page of the chemistry final was just a blank periodic table. You have to fill in as many elements as you could remember. You had to get a certain amount to get full credit. I don’t remember how many. But if you could keep going he gave extra credit for going over expectations.
My chemistry teacher would use the molecule diagram for various illegal drugs whenever possible to make a point. Like, when explaining what a methyl group or whatever is, he'd start by drawing amphetamine (from memory!) and then show the difference to methamphetamine.

DHMO annoys me tbh, it's a deliberately-clumsy ionic compound name misapplied to a covalent-bonded molecule.
On the plus side though, the IUPAC systematic name 'oxidane' sounds just as scary. Especially given the similarity to eg. silane, which is a genuinely scary chemical.

If you played GTA 5, one of the missions with Trevor actually reminds you how easy it is to make meth. It's literally just doing chemical reactions and opening up of objects to get the items you want, or in this case, just buying stuff off wall mart and doing the correct things to it.
Except, that when you DIY at home instead of in a professional environment using lab grade bases, the chances of you running into a gunfight, getting a door knock, and exploding your lab (due to the chemical reactions) is really high.

The talk about the periodic table is kind of funny, because one of the things we were tested on in my inorganic chemistry class was, in fact, whether we could remember the periodic table. Like, prof just gave us a blank table with the atomic numbers written all out, and listed off a bunch of numbers for us to fill in the element. So I'm not a chemist now, but back when I was studying chemistry (the only major chem classes I managed to avoid were biochem and physical chemistry - I'm an environmental chemistry major, so those fields were deemed less essential to my knowledge...instead, I took organic, inorganic, a crapton of analytical chem, plus some geochemistry and biogeochemistry...which is actually, technically a sub-discipline of microbiology), I knew the periodic table really well. It helped a lot though, because I could estimate molar masses and do back-of-the-envelop calculations when I had no periodic table available to me (you get to remember a few common elements' molecular masses - oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, iron, sulphur....those guys).
Industrial use of bromine includes fire resistance of plastics.
Bromination of vegetable oil used to be used for stabilization of citrus oil in certain soft drinks..the limonene is dissolved in treated vegetable oil which forms stabile suspension. Bromine adds density.

Bromine is very useful in preparation of organic compounds contains hydorxyl, haldie, carboxy group because the bond dissociation of HBr is low compared to HCl and more than HI which is perfect for room temp reactions or slightly elevated conditions
Bromine is very useful imo, it can be put on as a substituent (very selective) and you can change it to literally whatever you want with the right reagent, substitution, coupling, you name it.
And I think Meth is just a classic organic syn molecule, its not too hard to make, if you take organic chem anywhere you should be able to do it starting from literally any aromatic that resemble it even just a bit since its not a very complex molecule

At the oil refinery I work at, we use bromine to test for olefin in our field grade butane. Bromine will turn clear if olefin is present.
Alright.
Step one: Gather the necessary ingredients - pseudoephedrine, iodine, lithium and a beaker.
Heat it up - slowly and carefully - until it turns yellow-red.
After the solution is completely mixed, you need to place the beaker on a burner and slowly boil the contents until it becomes pink.
When the mixture has turned pink, you need to stop the flame and let it cool down to room temperature. Be really careful when taking it off the heat source because it will be very hot.
Once cooled, you can filter the pink mixture through a coffee filter to separate any solid particles.
Gather another beaker and fill it with distilled water. Transfer your filtered solution into this one, stirring it while adding drops of hydrochloric acid gradually.
After the acid has been added, stir the solution for some time - until a white, crystalline substance appears at the bottom of the beaker.
You will notice some liquid left over. This is water, so it just needs to be evaporated. You can simply do this by placing the beaker in a warm place until it dries up.
When the solution has completely dried, you need to scrape out the crystals that were in the bottom of the beaker. Be careful to get all of the water residue off.
You are not done yet. You need to crush the pink crystals into a fine power using a mortar and pestle or a grinder.
After the crystals are crushed into a powder, you can use a scale to measure it and package it accordingly.

Bromine, as an element, is potentially really useful for a lot of chemical applications. Just look up industrial uses of it and you'll find several completely unrelated avenues of use for it. It was huge when leaded gasolines were around because a bromo-organic compound was used to prevent lead buildup in engines. With gas being unleaded now though, bromine's relevance is more obscure, but it's still there. It pops up every now and again in any pharmaceutical/chemical research lab, and the most common place in the biotech industry is in the form of bromophenol blue, which is both a common pH indicator as well as a potent blue dye to analyze macromolecules (DNA and proteins).
But bromine kind of sits in a weird spot in terms of pure chemistry, because there's a lot of situations where chlorine, which is much less toxic, can be used instead. It often means using a lot of chlorine to make up for it, but that's a tradeoff people don't question. That's kind of the purpose of bromine now, the textbook example in every organic chemistry class of "we could do that, but we wouldn't want to"
He can’t finish a statement without them interrupting with fake laughter and trying to make a joke out of every little thing he says.

As I understand it Bromine cannot be stabilized from sunlight (and chlorine can be), so it would gas off too fast in direct sunlight. But I think bromine is considered a better sanitizer (maybe for higher temps, or it is less smelly? IDK), so it is used in hot tubs more commonly than chlorine as hot tubs usually have covers on them.
Bromine is used in outdoor spas and pools because the sunlight causes the chlorine to gas off and bromine doesn't gas off as much which means less chemical consumption and better disinfecting capacity

Minor error:
While technically cocaine can probably be cooked (I don't have any idea how) it's far easier to simply grow coca plants and to extract it.
Even that is a pain because unlike weed or even opium, coca can only be grown in very specific conditions and have a low yield.
This is why meth is so popular, it's a stimulant like cocaine but you can make it cheaply
Coca plants also take forever to mature. That's why even though it could be grown elsewhere, it's only grown in South America because it's just too risky, it would take years to get any yield and most places where it can be grown aren't know for stable local governments. There also just is very little demand for cocaine outside of the Americas, probably because it's so hard to get and so expensive on other continents. It probably could pay off, but nobody wants to try.
it also lasts far longer,

Nile you don’t happen to have an old RV right now do ya?
"Research chemicals" is what Nile is talking about, where they make an analog to a drug that has one functional group difference and has similar effects.
As much as I love Nilered’s videos, I think he might be one of the cutest chemist I’ve ever seen.
The only reason you don’t hear of people making cocaine in their basements is because you need coca leaves or coca extract, which is damn near impossible to get your hands on as Americans. Meth, on the other hand, doesn’t require any organic materials at all, and can be made essentially by anyone who can source the required chemicals and drugs needed to make it.
I am curious to know why more people aren’t making their own heroin, since opium poppies are actually completely legal to grow in the US. And especially because pure heroin is essentially unheard of in the US for the past 5 years or so. Everything is basically fentanyl now.
“Now students, in todays lab we are making meth.”
Students: “Yay!”
Teacher: “and you get to try it”
I mean, half of the students are probably already on Ritalin, Adderall, Concerta, etc
As soon as he brought up price his voice played in my head “Unfortunately, I had to order from Sigma-Alberich”
Jesus.....listening to these bros is like hanging out with a bunch of stoners who are each trying to talk louder than the other and then someone will say something that a 12 year old boy would laugh at and then you have to sit through 30 seconds of immature snickering.
I love Nigel's channel! I took chem in college and barely passed.
My chemistry students ask me this CONSTANTLY. My response is always, "Meth-heads make meth all the time, do you think that I'm a worse chemist than a meth-head?"
