  • HCN was, and continues to be an industrial product and is pretty cheap. it’s used on industrial scale in some plastics precursors manufacture, like PMMA (acrylic glass) or cyanoacrylate glue among others. currently flow processes allow it to be generated and consumed in adjacent reactors, minimizing amount actually generated at any time, but it was not always the case

    it’s low-boiling liquid (bp +25C) meaning simple transport compared to gases like CO or CO2. in the era some parasites, like louse were common and HCN was used for de-lousing clothing, and some derivatives were used as a general insecticide for fumigation. that’s partly because there were no better agrochemicals developed yet. it’s dangerous for all life and by its mechanism works rather quickly (minutes) and is rather potent. CO2 is neither










  • you absolutely can lol

    AbsolutelyNotCats is (probably) talking about some of not-yet-banned compounds predicted to have some recreational properties, sold as a “research chemicals” because these are not and will be not tested. people like DMT or 2C-B? slap a methyl here or hydroxyl there and you’re good to go with selling this because it’s not illegal to do so. you can’t call this thing as safe or pharmaceutical or anything else, because it’s not tested this way

    there are also CROs that will make a panel of compounds of your choice that you then test in some high-throughput screening and these are legit, non-sketchy companies that do participate in pharmaceutical design. that’s entirely different thing
