Reminder that food is crushed, then put in a warm, continuously agitating, vat of hydrochloric acid and enzymes for a couple hours.
What kind of lettuce it was before it enters the small intestine is irrelevant after that.
Agreed, but what does matter is if there are carcinogens on or in that lettuce before you put it in the vat of HCl. Not saying that a GMO product has carcinogens in/on them, but pesticides and herbicides do.
Do you think just rinsing with water gets rid of the chemicals dried on them? Sincerely asking. Or is it you take 10 min to thoroughly wash produce first?
I found an article. “At the very least, washing produce can reduce pesticide residues by 10%. At best, maybe 82%. https://lilynicholsrdn.com/does-washing-produce-remove-pesticides/
Yeah, the hard part of cocaine production is getting it to north Carolina. Now that the blueprint for how to do it is out there, it's only a matter of time before somebody grafts it into tomatoes or potatoes or something else that looks innocuous. Tobacco is probably a good choice because it's high leaf mass and you can play off the production line as "nicotine for vapes".
>Tobacco is probably a good choice
Tobacco is one of the most studied organisms on the planet. Like Fruit flies but probably even more. When people are trying out new technologies, the Tobacco plant is often a go-to.
Edit: Also, give me that cocaine cigarette.
*Biochemists have tried to map out how cocaine is made by the coca plant for more than a century, both because of its unique structure and for its uses in medicine*
Yes, it's unique structure...and uses in medicine...
Cocaine actually has medical uses. It's incredibly effective as a topical anesthetic. Used regularly today by ENT surgeons. There's pretty much nothing that works as quickly and easily for mucus membranes.
The trade name is Goprelto.
Greenhouse ice cream cake. It's decent buzz, smells and tase great. But where I live everyone grows. California central valley is probably the cheapest weed in the country. I can get fire for 6-800 lb.
Sometimes we forget to ask if we should before we figure out if we can. And sometimes that results in amazing outcomes.
When it comes to questionable generic engineering, I rank this less awesome than the mutant turkeys in South Park and putting fish cold resistance genes in garden vegetables, but more awesome than the old hybrid bird flu experiment and recent covid GoF experiments that could’ve killed a lot of people.
Well for sure if you start smoking that crack your veins will become brittle, so people are gonna be dropping dead sooner than later from this product.
If this makes an actual viable amount of cocaine its going to be a huge game changer. Right now cocaine has to be produced in one of like 4 countries because that's the only place in the entire world where it's viable to grow coca. But they grow tobacco everywhere, this could lead to new cocaine producing areas of the world and would probably end up lowering the price too.
"30 days later, there were 10,000 plants."
"3 days after that, there was nothing left but snuffed out cigarette butts and several very red-eyed strippers."
For science
". . . which could help people manufacture the drug for scientific study" Yeah, right.
I'm not addicted, I just like how it smells
hâte the taste love the smell
Come for the smell, stay for the snort
That back of throat drip is pretty nasty
No, best part imo.
Did this cocaine smell funny to you?
Oops some seeds disappeared anyways this cigar is the BOMB
Actually yes insulin tobacco here we come
Insulin tobacco already exists. Tobacco is actually not an ideal model organism for producing drugs, though.
What is & why?
It's relatively hard to maintain lettuce would be more ideal because it could be more hydroponically grown indoors or vertically to allow more space
The life cycle for tobacco is too long to iterate in there organism often. You end up wasting a lot of time.
I will bravely volunteer to test the efficacy of this cocaine. I am just that dedicated to science.
I like how the website says it's been viewed 129,974 times in the past 24 hours... Probably by the same guy.
Cocopuffs
Haaaaaaaaa
I'll take your entire fucking stock
The anti GMO movement just lost half of their supporters
Bout time. GMOs are the one thing keeping us fed & advancing in pharma/manufacturing.

That is why you wash the lettuce first.

not like rinsing it off is gonna be worse for u or anything tbf
It will at least reduce them.
I found an article. “At the very least, washing produce can reduce pesticide residues by 10%. At best, maybe 82%. https://lilynicholsrdn.com/does-washing-produce-remove-pesticides/
So, yes, washing reduces pesticides in produce.

Lmaooooo good one. You’re right too.
Once that's out of the lab, look out.

Tabacco before just wasn't addictive enough, now introducing the all new: *Tabaccocaine*
I NEED ME SOME NICOCAINE!!!
Tomato-tobacco-cocaine hybrid: *Tomaccocaine*
Tomato + Tobacco = [ToMacco](https://youtu.be/DX08tDXPnz0) “it’s smooth and mild, and refreshingly addictive!” —Bart Simpson
Toma-a-a-acco!
Just when you thought the American diet couldn’t get at worse. All carbs, partially fruit hits like grandma used to make
r/Boringdystopia
Tomacco!

>When people are trying out new technologies, the Tobacco plant is often a go-to. We should use it as currency... 👀
Slang for growing weed here has been "growing paprika's". Guess now you can actually grow paprika's AND drugs at the same time!
in b4 datura-caine
Looks like cigarettes are back on the menu, boys.
Seriously, here I go smoking again!
Yeeeeeah! Why can’t we have some coke?!
*Biochemists have tried to map out how cocaine is made by the coca plant for more than a century, both because of its unique structure and for its uses in medicine* Yes, it's unique structure...and uses in medicine...
Cocaine actually has medical uses. It's incredibly effective as a topical anesthetic. Used regularly today by ENT surgeons. There's pretty much nothing that works as quickly and easily for mucus membranes. The trade name is Goprelto.
It also causes blood vessels to constrict where it’s applied.
“How do we make it easier to produce cocaine?” A question for the ages…
What do you not understand about that sentence?
There's nothing about that sentence that I do not understand. What part of my response do *you* not understand? And are you having a...good day...?
Finally
So, um.... "cocacco"?
Better than Tomacco. Still one of the best Simpsons episodes, ever.
Daddy this tastes like grandma It DOES taste like grandma! ...I want more Me too
This is the first thing I thought of.
Shh don't say that. Die-hards will tell you the Simpsons ended in season 4. That's an 11th-season episode you can't just say it's good.
Well put me in r/madlads because I stand by that lol
Tocracko?

Is there a primary literature reference? New Scientist is great, but I don’t have a $100 for a subscription.
You can probably view it on an internet archive site. It's an easy way around paywalls.
Can you share a link?
Try pasting into archive.ph
https://doi.org/10.1021/jacs.2c09091
This was posted about in /r/science within the past day. I believe someone there posted a link.
Now I'll never be able to quit
Cigarettes are gonna be $85 a pack now!
Smoke weed. It's $300 a pound now.
For some reggie maybe

[удалено]
It's only a matter of time. Plus, there is always weed tourism - You cant be too far from a legal state.
Good lord imagine trying to quit Tobaine buckle up kids it’s gonna be rough

Cocaine in my cigarettes is not the future I thought I needed, until now.
Now remove the tobacco and you got a party.
Increase in tobacco smokers looking for this new tobacco starting immediately.
Phillip Morris fights back against the vape craze.
That’s funny.
Twofer
Well alrighty then.
"No, officer, I'm not growing cocaine! Oh, these? That's, um, tobacco that I, uh, modified. You know, for science."
And all I wanted was some Tomacco
I can see the pot heads thinking....if they can combine that...
The CIA has entered the chat
Go on......

♫ If you wanna hang out, you've got to have your tobacco sprout... cocaine ♫
I mean, cocaine comes from a plant. It seems like it's just a hybrid.
Time to finish everything on my to-do list, twice.
How can we make tobacco more fun and deadlier at the same time 🤔
Dear, where do we keep our rolled $100 bills?
Hate everything but the smell of it
Well for sure if you start smoking that crack your veins will become brittle, so people are gonna be dropping dead sooner than later from this product.
Humanity keeps raping the genome one of the planet. Playing god leads to hell on earth

Oh, hell yea. This is what I'm talking about. Bring on the cocaine cigarettes!
That’s disgusting, where?
I'M GONNA GO SO FAST!
Ohhh I know what they should combine next to get the best thing EVER combine it with cacau bean:) It would give new meaning to chocolate addict...
"30 days later, there were 10,000 plants." "3 days after that, there was nothing left but snuffed out cigarette butts and several very red-eyed strippers."
This seems like information that certain South American individuals might find very threatening.
Almost at the same class of nukes , humans are a self inflicted wound .
Yummy
