So, while shimmeringjemmy is recovering from tonsillitis I have been taking on the role of caregiver. She is now happily on vicodin for the pain.
This morning I woke her at 8:20 to make sure she took her meds and let her get back to sleep. It’s not that she isn’t capable of taking care of herself, I just want her to relax and heal. I told her the time and got her meds for her. Sadly, I was unaware of the fact that she’d woken up at 5:00 and taken them then. Okay, two vicodin doses in 3 hours. Oops. I went to webMD. The sight has a javascript glitch. So I found The Valuts of Erowid
After wandering around the site I discovered some really bizarre information that my utter minimal amount of Biochem knowledge found intriguing.
See now the connection between amphetimines, methamphetamines, chocolate, and caffiene!
Here is the info
| Ampetamine | MethAmphetamine |
|---|---|
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Theobromine (Chocolate) |
Caffeine |
(note: white = hydrogen, grey = carbon, blue = nitrogen)
Now, what I find stunning is that in both sets, the differentiation (from left to right) is the replacement of a hydrogen bonded to a nitrogen with a carbon bonded to that nitrogen with 3 more hydrogen. Now of course my chem is so lacking that I don’t quite remember what CH3 is. CH4 is methane. What’s even more interesting about caffeine is that if you reverse the CH3 on the other ring to H, the Caffeine becomes Theophylline, found predominately in tea.
So whereas the addition of methyl compounds to amphetamines make meth-amphetamines… Apparently, caffeine is Meth-Chocolate.
Anyone for a chocolate easter bunny?
« Because I have no shame, and am in Love. They say it’s your birthday… »
As little of that as really connected in my brain, you now have me lusting after chocolate easter bunnies.
Just what I needed. ^_^
Hehe. With the benefit of this knowledge I’m enjoying my meth-chocolate much more than I would be enjoying my coffee.
Please give my regards. I used to get chronic tonsilitis as a child and finally had the tonsils removed. Ow.
Two Vicodin doses in 3 hrs and 20 mins is not too bad. Are they 5/500? I have taken them two at a time with no problem. There’s a stronger version at 7.5/500 but it usually goes by a different brand name (starts with an L, but I’m blank). So no worries, really.
I believe too much vicodin (not way too much) will result in vomit. Not pleasant but not a big deal either as it just rejects the excess.
Caffeine is methchocolate! That explains the reduction in need for M&Ms. Almost have the cola IV set up. Drink far more of that stuff that is healthy.
If you hadn’t stuck the bond pix in I would have just thought the connection between the 4 was endorphins. Yay endorphins!
hmmm…
Theobromine — 3,7 dimethylxanthine
Theophylline — 1,3 dimethylxanthine
Caffeine — 1,3,7 trimethylxanthine
Thank you, I would like my meth in either 70%, Lady Grey or Kona flavor please 🙂
[though I think I’ll be opting for the bunny with all its yummy phenylethylamine!]
