Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.
7. No duplicate posts.
If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners.
The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Imagine a drug you only had to touch. You'd never run out!
What? I always ran out of LSD and all you have to do is touch it because it's skin permeable.
True, but fentanyl is generally not. They do make fentanyl patches, but casual exposure, like a cop touching a tiny bit of fentanyl, will not result in fentanyl being absorbed.
I know this, but I was responding to the idea that a drug you could touch and get high from would somehow last forever.
Please don't take away my dream of endless LSD.
Get yourself a degree in chemistry and you'll be able to make a lifetime supply.
Best I can do is ADHD and an internet connection.
Ahh you'll be fine then!
I know. I just felt clarification was necessary for people who don't understand the difference.
That's just because you don't know how to make it, and they are selling it to you a few drops at a time. I believe the ingredients are actually pretty cheap. Chemistry students make it.
Sell a man some LSD and he trips for a day. Teach a man to make LSD and he trips for a lifetime!
Yeah, right. I don't believe you. HOW would they do that? What steps could they possibly take!? What ingredients would they need and where would they even get them!?
We need details, dammit.
More seriously, a friend of mine was a chem student, and he says pretty much every one of his classmates knows how to run off 2 liters of LSD. Which should be enough to send every horse on the planet straight to the moon.
Maybe LSA, but probably not LSD.
Synthesizing the drug isn't the issue, as long as you have the right equipment and knowledge. The difficult part is getting the correct precursor chemicals.
I mean, step one: acquire the precursors. Step two: take organic chemistry 1; then organic chemistry 2; perhaps something strange like p chem, or environmental chem or chemical instrumentation; ask the professor between classes how to make it; take another class like drug discovery and design, or advanced organic chemistry....
Step three: make the good stuff.
I am not recommending that anyone do this but you don't need anything more advanced than Orgo 2. The issue isn't making the compound, at least once you have the precursors, it's ensuring that it's not contaminated with other products in a way that harms or kills you. It's not enough to get any yield, you need a safe yield.
That was the joke. You technically don't even need the ochems if you just ask the professor like I said. We're trying to lead kids down the dark road of the chemistry cult.
I took Advanced Orgo for fun so I'm with you.
Only If it’s wet
Not quite. Drugs that can be absorbed through the skin, well, they get absorbed.
It's not an infinite drugs glitch, just like powdered Fentanyl can't be absorbed through the skin.
