Baby formula, Vanilla extract = legal drugs

[JenBayles]

It's been used for generations by drug dealers who don't want to buy the cut (which btw is legally available at many head shops), and op for less expensive cuts like aforementioned and almost any powder that they can slip in. If a drug dealer buys an ounce of high grade cocaine, steps on it once, breaks that down into 1/8 or 1/4 ounce packages, then they get stepped on again, before the steet level, 1/2 gram or gram buying end user ends up with easily half the drug he thinks he's getting. In fact, the end user may not be getting cocaaine (or whatever he thinks he's buying) but something different with similar physical properties. Tetracaine, procaine, and lidocaine, are all typical cuts used with amphetamine class drugs, and because of their analgesic effect, people think they are getting some "good" stuff.

Laxative is another big cut used, as well as various sugars.

Good grief. It's finally happened. I'm speechless.

Back to pure vanilla ---- it's 35 to 45% alcohol which makes it 70 to 90 proof - the same as any blended whisky, gin, rum, or vodka!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Vanilla costs about $5.00 for a 4oz bottle. That's a pretty expensive high.

I had no idea about the alcohol content. Talk about being desperate - vanilla is some NASTY bitter stuff when tasted solo!

Listerine is another..21.6%

I've tasted a few liquors that taste just like Listerine. They're 42 proof also.

There is some pure vanillia in my cabinet but I never thought it could do that.

It's far from being a tiny bottle if you buy it down here or in Mexico. And it's a LOT cheaper when you buy it in Mexico.

Psst, Jeremy?

As for vanilla extract, I remember a very touching episode of "Family Ties" where Tom Hanks played Alex's uncle Ned (Elyse's brother). He was an alcoholic. Alex came in late one evening and found Ned at the kitchen table, drinking. Ned tried to convince Alex to go on a beer run with him but Alex refused. Then Ned started rummaging through the kitchen to find anything with alcohol in it. One of the things I recall him drinking was a bottle of vanilla extract and Alex commented about it. Hanks rocked in that episode and proved very early what he was capable of as an actor.

LOL. Forgot to read deeper in this thread. Ah well...that's the four and a half hours sleep I got poking its ugly head. Cannot think straight. Slept from 10pm-2am, then from 6-6:30am. And that was literally it.

Hairspay is good for more than just getting high...ever sprayed it into a lit lighter....INSTANT BLOWTORCH!!!

I once had a patient who was drinking shoe polish which was strained through bread. Apparently he wasn't the only one. My mother wanted spray paint for the fence, and I went through the self check out at Walmart and it wouldn't let me buy the item until an associate came to verify my age. I can't imagine what type of brain and liver damage these substances are causing. I applaud the stores for doing whatever they can to help the situation.
