...Nasty Side-Effects

Scientist David Edwards teamed up with French Designer Philippe Starck to create the WA|HH mouth spray that gets you drunk instantly, but only for a few seconds. And the best part is you won’t have to deal with and splitting headaches when you wake up the following day.

Ever wish you could feel what it’s like to be drunk without actually drinking anything? I have a few girl friends who have never drunk more than a few sips of beer, but have always been curious to know what it’s like to feel intoxicated. Thanks to the innovative WA|HH Quantum Sensations spray presented during a Paris exhibition, now everyone can experience being drunk for just a few seconds, and without any of the nasty side-effects. According to its creators, the spray produces an immediate shock, like a sensorial alarm, but only lasts a few seconds. Each puff equals 0.075 milliliters of alcohol, so it would take about 1,000 to equal a real drink. ’We asked ourselves whether we might provide the same agreeable sensation as comes with a sip of alcohol without running the risk of drunkenness,’ Starck said about the spray.

A canister of WA|HH Quantum Sensation contains a total of 2 milligrams of alcohol, yet that is enough to make you feel tipsy a bunch of times without worrying about the consequences. This thing is apparently so harmless you could actually pass a breathalyzer test as soon as the alcohol in your mouth wears off. WA|HH might sound like a pretty silly, useless invention, but it might help alcoholics get their fix without actually pouring gallons of alcohol down their throats. the only drawback to this Quantum Sensation is its price. At $26 for a small spray, I’m pretty sure most people would just opt to get wasted the old fashioned way.

Just in case the name David Edwards sounds familiar, he’s the brilliant mind behind another popular spray called Le Whif. It’s an inhaler allows people to taste delicious chocolate without putting on any weight.

I'm holding a bowl of dirt up to my nose, in hopes of getting high on the fumes of my backyard compost pile. The microbe that I'm after today is M. vaccae, a living creature that acts like a mind-altering drug once it enters the human body. It has been shown to boost the levels of serotonin and norepinephrine circulating in the systems of both humans and mice. In other words, it works in much the same manner as antidepressant pills. And yes, it is possible to dose yourself by simply breathing in the smell of good dirt.

The drug-like effects of this soil bacteria were discovered, quite by accident, about a decade ago. A doctor named Mary O'Brien created a serum out of the bacteria and gave it to lung-cancer patients, in hopes that it might boost their immune systems. Instead, she noticed another effect: The hospital patients perked up. They reported feeling happier and suffered from less pain than the patients who did not receive doses of bacteria. Further studies in mice confirmed the mood-boosting effect of the soil bugs.

So now I'm poking at the dirt in this dish, trying to release as much of the M. vaccae as I can. The compost looks like chocolate cake -- it's a rich brown-black color, and it holds together with that same kind of moistness that we love in baked goods. I'm eager for something to make me feel jaunty on this winter day. Outside, the sky glimmers a dim, silver-gray -- it's filled with clouds that Virginia Woolf would have described as "implacable." I have always been sensitive to such days. The dishwater light trickles through the window and infects me with malaise.

As I huff the soil, I have no way of knowing exactly how much M. vaccae is floating into my lungs -- or whether it's enough to change my mind. But I can sure smell this compost. The odor hits like a punch and triggers a memory: I recall a day in Western Massachusetts on a friend's farm, turning earth with a pitchfork. Dried mud extended up my arms, like a pair of long-sleeved gloves, as if I were dressed for a gala event with forest-fairies. I felt dazzled that day, boozed up on sunshine, and in love with the potatoes I'd just dug out of the soil.

That same smell hovers over this dish now -- a sexy, outdoorsy tang. It's an odor produced by microbes in the soil as they break down plants. Scientists call it "geosmin," this dirt smell that lends the earthy taste to beets and carrots. It's the flavor of life.

Cooks have another own word for it. "Terroir" is what makes a loaf of sourdough from San Francisco taste so different from its cousin in Bordeaux. The regional microbes, in the soil and air, impart their particular notes to the bread. You can taste terroir in your wine, your cheese, and even your chocolate -- all of which are produced with the help of specialized bacterias that can vary from town to town.

This soil in the bowl is redolent with my own particular terroir. It is made from the apples that plummeted to the ground in our backyard. It contains, too, a sweetening of ashes from our wood stove. It is the smell of an unfolding revolution in microbiology. New tools -- like desktop gene sequencers -- allow scientists to read a sample of soil and find every species of microbe inside it. This is science that you can smell and taste. And sometimes, you can get high on it too.

Cathinones can not be successfully prosecuted with the way the CDSA is structured currently but it's rather cut and dry; amphetamine analogs with an amphetamine skeleton are illegal. It is not only the specific chemical alpha-methylphenethylamine that has an analog clause, but the entire amphetamines class of chemicals under article 1 Schedule 3 are all subject to the analog clause meaning any phenethylamine with a methyl substitution on the alpha position or any alpha-methylated chemical related to any of the amphetamines listed under the amphetamines list in Schedule 3 can be considered illegal. BK-MDMA is simply one substitution away from MDMA, and thus falls under the amphetamine analog clause. It is obvious that HC is using scare tactics as they let it slip through before, but cathinones are amphetamines regardless of whether cathinone or methcathinone are even listed under the amphetamines list in the CDSA. A good lawyer would defeat any attempt at prosecution due to cathinone and methcathinone being conveniently placed outside the amphetamines list in the CDSA.

Someone was arrested for ordering a few grams 4-FMC not too long ago, but I'm not sure if any charges were laid and I haven't heard any news about it since it happened.

It's the bomb! XD

It's nothing like shrooms lol. Cathinones are pretty boring and methylone is supposedly "illegal" according to HC.
