Answer 2

schedule II dissociative anesthetic psychological drug

Answer 3

1957 parke davis manufacturered sernyl 1965 taken off market, bad side effects 1967, sernylan for animals late 1970s, all legal maufacturering stopped now pop is only made via clandestine labs

Answer 4

bucket 1: piperidine, water, sodium cyanide bucket 2: sodium metabisulfate, cyclohexane, water bucket 1 and 2 make PCC Grignard reagent: magnesium turnings, ether, bromobenzene pcc nad Grignard reagent make PCP

Answer 5

cyanide solvents: bromobenzene cyclohexane ether magnesium turnings are water reactive, similar to Li, but not as bad PCP is made during the summer TCP Is an analog of PCP

Answer 6

schedule II stimulant

Answer 7

andes mountains 1884 Local anesthetic 1860 first used by amber nieman 1890s US workers Coca-cola Colombia, peru, bolivia cocaine found naturally in the coca plant

Answer 8

coca leaves plus alkali stuff plus water, add kerosene, leaves and water thrown out add acid and alkaline stuff, paste is formed add acid and water to paste add oxidizer to get rid of impurities keep only liquid solution cocaine in base form cocaine base plus acetone add acid cocaine salt cocaine salt plus water add baking soda heat, remove excess liquid crack cocaine crack is schedule I drug

Answer 9

cocaine labs not typical for US chemicals include acids and bases but it is a white powder cutting agents: APAP, caffeine, lactose, levamisole, lidocaine, quinine used to dilute/change drugs with something less expensie contaminants, adulterants, diluents, by-products pharmacologically active ing give either synergistic/antagonistic effects

Answer 10

cannabis sativa schedule I variable psychophysical actions, effects range from relaxing intoxication to anxiety and panic attacks

Answer 11

used as early as 3000 BC medicinally as an anesthetic attentive enhancer and for constipation introduced to n America by settlers in 1600s predominantly used fo hemp fiber to make rope and clothing mid 1800s pharaceutical companies begin marketing marijuana containing products marijuana tax of 1937 made possession or transfer for marijuana illegal except medical or industrial uses, which were heavily taxed controlled substances act of 1970 repealed tax act and now? CA adult use of marijuana act, recreational use since 2016

Answer 12

manufacturing: blasting tube lots of butane very flammable

Answer 13

delta-9-tetryhydrocannabiniol (THC) main psychoactive ingredient somewhat polar BP: 315 F solubility in water, about 10 mg per gallon terpenes and terpenoids produced by most plants name comes from turpentine very non-polar (like oil) proteins, sugars, hydrocarbons, fatty acids, amino acids none of these are desired products in concentrated cannabis we only want THC and terpenes terpenes have no psychoactive effects, fragrance (aromatic) chemicals, hash taste

Answer 14

like dissolves like water is polar and ionic sugars salts, acids, all things we don't want alcohol is polar and covalent dissolves other polar covalent compounds sugars, terpenes, other alcohols, cannabinoids things we do want in hash butane is non-polar covalent dissolves terpenes, hydrocarbons, cannabinoids, things we do want in hash

Answer 15

butane and alcohol are most common volatile organic compounds evaporate faster than water flammable

Answer 16

flammable chemicals have a point at which enough of the chemical exists in the air that it will ignite in the presence of an ignition source lower explosive limit just to clarify there is also an upper explosive limit, UEL not typically encountered

Answer 17

LEL:1.8% when air next to ignition source (stove, smoking cigarette guy) has 1.8% butane, it will cause a flash fire/explosion when liquid butane evaporates to become a gas, it expands about 230 times, one 12 oz can becomes 2760 ounces (21 1/2 gallons) of pure butane gass since only 1.8% of air needs butane, you can see it doesn't take much to get a room or garage to LEL

Answer 18

LEL: 3.3% evaporates, expands 850 times. One 12 ox bottle of ever clear, (151 proof, 75.5% ethanol) becomes 7700 ounces about 96 gallons of pure gas

Answer 19

supercritical fluid extraction compresses carbon dioxide to high enough pressures that it becomes liquid CO2 is not flammable huge pressure is still a danger

Answer 20

polarity of solvent matters butane and ethanol are best water is not effective volatility of solvent is important good: for users, extracts THC with decent efficiency and evaporates quickly leaving concentrated cannabis bad: flammable, explosive mixtures in air ugly: for first responders same vapors that already ignited can build up again and re-ignite

Answer 21

every person who manufactures compounds converts produces derives processes prepares either directly or indirectly by chem extraction or independently by means of chem synthesis any controlled substance shall be punished unless otherwise provided by law

Answer 22

what we need to form a scientific opinion of BHO lab extraction tube, apparatus that shows processing source material, marijuana, ideally from tube filter or screen, one from tube is best finished product, collected from filter/screen or from pyrex type baking dish or silicone mat indication of solvents used, butane or alcohol

Answer 23

false sense of security BHO extraction may seem simple, but these chemicals can and DO cause property damage and severe burns not considered as other controlled substances, just marijuana do not simply handle extraction tube similarities b/n BHO tubes and pipe bombs

Answer 24

MDMA, LSD< GHB, steroids, synthetic cathinones, synthetic cannabinoids, DMT, ketamine, peyote

Answer 25

color crystals logo ID

Answer 26

FTIR, GC/MS, Raman
