Answer 1

It's not so much that it 'contains' 'cleaning chemicals'. Please refer to Orwell's material in 'Nineteen Eighty-Four' about how people's thought processes can be channelled by using the emotional impact of words or phrases. The chemicals to which you refer are, in addition to their ability to fuel chemical reactions, used in industry as 'cleaning fluids', yes. To clarify my point (and why this annoys me sometimes), most 'anti-depressants' or at any rate a huge number of 'em are also 'anti-hypertensives' (aka 'hypotensives), and for that matter, they're also 'anti-pyrogenics'... i.e. they lower yer blood pressure and they lower yer body temp, respectively. When it comes down to it, things are what they do, not the labels we give them. If it makes you feel any better, these things either use the 'nasty chemicals' as catalysts (they help the reaction along without getting chemically involved and are later filtered out) or as components of new molecules (chemical compounds), meaning that they're not 'cleaning fluids' anymore, but that their atoms are now part of something else, and don't have the chemical properties they had originally.
Take the simplest example I can conceive for the layperson - common table salt. This is a chemical called Sodium Chloride. This means that one of the two needed to give away an electron, and the other needed to receive one, so they formed a bond fulfilling both their 'needs'. Sodium is a highly reactive atom - drop some in a basin of water and it'll rocket around in spectacular fashion for some time; it usually impresses first time round, and it's not hard to imagine the effect of swallowing the stuff. Chlorine is a highly reactive, poisonous green gas - we know its smell from swimming pools. It is irritating to the point of corrosiveness and was popular in the First World War, during which it blinded or destroyed the lungs of scores of thousands of soldiers. But Sodium Chloride? We put it in our food, and in the sense you meant, table salt 'contains' these two deadly chemicals!

No, I'm no 'Meth Lab' chemist, nor do I take A.S.; this is just common-sense everyday chemistry, which is a pleasure to study, and I thought I'd clear up this common misconception, as it obscures the real 'magic' of chemistry, that of combining disparate bits of matter and forging new things from them, sometimes far removed in appearance and behaviour from the original components. Hope this helped a bit.

I'm not sure if this is from the depression or WW2. I suspect the latter. But, when I was given this recipe years ago the lady who passed it to me said I could use melted bacon grease and melted shortening instead of cooking oil. I've only made it with oil. My impression is that she'd used melted bacon grease or lard because her family butchered a hog or two every year. NO No Cake 1 1/2 cup flour 1 cup sugar 1/2 cup cocoa 1/2 teas salt 1 teas baking soda 1 Tablespoon vinegar 1 teas. vanilla 1/2 cup oil 1 cup cold water Sift dry ingredients into an 8 X 8" cake pan. Make three holes in the the flour mixture. Put vanilla in the first hole, vinegar in the second hole and oil in the third hole. Pour cold water over all. Mix well. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 40 minutes. Serve plain or with a frosting. This is not a 5 star cake in my book but I still make this once in a while. Edit: I've always had a vegetarian night on our weekly menu. Things like corn fritters, zucchini fritters and a good potato salad make a fine main course along with lima beans and cantaloupe or jello with fruit for dessert.

Answer 5

I think maybe those substances are amongst those sometimes "cut" with speed - ie mixed in to make it go further - rather than usual ingredients (though I don't know).

However, I'd rather fill my body with cleaning fluid than speed. I've had two friends who took it regularly - and both became paranoid delusional, and ended up committing suicide.

I am with you all the way...

I guess that anyone who would consider using a mind bending drug like that, must have reality issues to start with.
