My chemistry teacher heated iodine a little while ago. Iodine in it's pure form is a black/gray solid and when heated, sublimes and becomes a gas. He put on the song purple haze and danced around with the beaker because when iodine sublimes it makes a purple haze. I know this sounds a little stupid but I'm just wondering... does this purple gas (the sublimed iodine) have anything to do with the purple haze that is the drug?
Please don't report me for a bad question, I'm just curious because my teacher then put the beaker under the fume hood and said it was toxic....

Wow, your chemistry teacher is weird!
Nono, the purple haze that is the drug, is another name for marijuana, has nothing to do with iodine! Haha!
And he should have had the beaker under the fume hood right from the beginning. Iodine gas are poisonous.
