I knew smoking’d pay off if I just kept at it! (kidding)
…the coca plant could already do that…?
Tobacco is a hardier plant that can be grown in more places than coca AFAIK.
Now you can support your community with locally grown and cultivated cocaine, instead of relying on imports. Lmao
Fair Trade Coke
Gotta support local businesses y’know?
I bet traffickers are gonna be real busy smuggling legal (pre-smuggled) items because of these tariffs.
‘Psst, need some eggs? I know a guy…’
Lol! They’re so fragile - one or two hiding places quickly come to mind.
“Mexico doesn’t produce white eggs”
And growing tobacco is Not AS suspicious as coca
Tobacco is easier to grow in more places. This makes it easier to grow and produce medical grade cocaine.
I invite you to try to grow coca plants in your backyard. You will not succeed, for several reasons…
I wonder if you’d get the numbing effect of cocaine when smoking the leaves like tobacco
No, smoking cocaine (aka cocaine hydrochloride) does not do much unless you first chemically “free the base” (aka crack cocaine).
Can confirm. I was once given a cocaine cigarette without my knowledge and it did have enough of a stimulant effect for me to notice something was off (though I was expecting a spliff, so it was easier to realize that it was having the opposite effect), but I absolutely did not get any kind of high.
It was mostly just increased heart rate and anxiety with a little nausea, like being overcaffeinated.
That sounds like my experience with the real thing. Didn’t really do anything but kill my alcohol buzz.
Fun fact, “free base” is the origin of the of the term “based”.
Originally it was not a good thing.
Language changes, so now based is fucking rad. And rad is not a term used by anyone.
Based still has the innate connotation of doing your own thing without caring how others perceive you, which can still be a crackhead kind of trait.
Based and crackhead pilled.
rad is not a term used by anyone.
I disagree. It’s too rad not to use.
Only mathematicians still like throwing rads around
And x-ray technicians. If your ehs representative say there are too many rads… RUN!
Fallout RADs system: Fuck my drag, right?
Physicists also use rads for circular motions.
And rad is not a term used by anyone.
not tubular, dude. not tubular at all.
Depending on the dose it could still do some stuff. Just like sniffing freebase cocaine can also give a tiny bit of effect.
Not that one should be doing that.
You can modify tobacco plants to produce a wide variety of pharmaceuticals. It’s a very versatile plant. Last I knew, the University of Kentucky had a large field of various strains of experimental tobacco plants on their research farm.
They better call them wacky tabacky
I’m still on the tomacco train
I feel like we already had a plant for this
But maybe this’ll grow in more regions, breaking up the bloody monopoly, making coke more ethical
I was scrolling down and looking at tv show, leaving my mouse idling and this pop up ‘more’ align perfectly with your ‘more’ word in the sentence.
That’s so cool lol
“Are you holding?” “Yeah, I’ve got A+ grade pure Colombian here.” “Yeeeaaahhh, I don’t wanna be ‘that guy’ but do you have any ethical coke?”
Big tobacco is probably less ethical than cartels.
Now do yeast
The gene sequence is public knowledge, published in academic papers. You can buy everything including the custom sequence to do the CRISPR process online.
Just saying.
You can also just buy coca seeds. The magic powder is still quite a few steps away from that.
Now do a real life Tomacco!
fun fact, nicotine is produced in the roots. a dude in lake oswego oregon made tomacco in 2003. you graft a tomato plant onto some tobacco roots. you can also use tomato roots with tobacco grafted on to get tobacco without nicotine.
granted, I read about this over a decade ago so some details may be fuzzy
Tooommmmacccooooo!!!
This reminded me the tomeato episode of DIlbert.
Tilsonburg? My back still aches when I hear that word.
But I can’t feel my face
Yeah, people won’t stop talking when they’re coked up.
I do not approve this message.
Yes you do
