I feel like we already had a plant for this
But maybe this’ll grow in more regions, breaking up the bloody monopoly, making coke more ethical
You can modify tobacco plants to produce a wide variety of pharmaceuticals. It’s a very versatile plant. Last I knew, the University of Kentucky had a large field of various strains of experimental tobacco plants on their research farm.
They better call them wacky tabacky
I’m still on the tomacco train
Now do yeast
Now do a real life Tomacco!
fun fact, nicotine is produced in the roots. a dude in lake oswego oregon made tomacco in 2003. you graft a tomato plant onto some tobacco roots. you can also use tomato roots with tobacco grafted on to get tobacco without nicotine.
granted, I read about this over a decade ago so some details may be fuzzy
Tooommmmacccooooo!!!
This reminded me the tomeato episode of DIlbert.
…the coca plant could already do that…?
Tobacco is easier to grow in more places. This makes it easier to grow and produce medical grade cocaine.
Tobacco is a hardier plant that can be grown in more places than coca AFAIK.
Now you can support your community with locally grown and cultivated cocaine, instead of relying on imports. Lmao
And growing tobacco is Not AS suspicious as coca
Fair Trade Coke
Gotta support local businesses y’know?
I bet traffickers are gonna be real busy smuggling legal (pre-smuggled) items because of these tariffs.
‘Psst, need some eggs? I know a guy…’
Lol! They’re so fragile - one or two hiding places quickly come to mind.
“Mexico doesn’t produce white eggs”
Tilsonburg? My back still aches when I hear that word.
But I can’t feel my face
I wonder if you’d get the numbing effect of cocaine when smoking the leaves like tobacco
No, smoking cocaine (aka cocaine hydrochloride) does not do much unless you first chemically “free the base” (aka crack cocaine).
Depending on the dose it could still do some stuff. Just like sniffing freebase cocaine can also give a tiny bit of effect.
Not that one should be doing that.
Fun fact, “free base” is the origin of the of the term “based”.
Originally it was not a good thing.
Language changes, so now based is fucking rad. And rad is not a term used by anyone.
And rad is not a term used by anyone.
not tubular, dude. not tubular at all.
Only mathematicians still like throwing rads around
Physicists also use rads for circular motions.
And x-ray technicians. If your ehs representative say there are too many rads… RUN!
Fallout RADs system: Fuck my drag, right?
rad is not a term used by anyone.
I disagree. It’s too rad not to use.
Based still has the innate connotation of doing your own thing without caring how others perceive you, which can still be a crackhead kind of trait.
Can confirm. I was once given a cocaine cigarette without my knowledge and it did have enough of a stimulant effect for me to notice something was off (though I was expecting a spliff, so it was easier to realize that it was having the opposite effect), but I absolutely did not get any kind of high.
It was mostly just increased heart rate and anxiety with a little nausea, like being overcaffeinated.
That sounds like my experience with the real thing. Didn’t really do anything but kill my alcohol buzz.
I knew smoking’d pay off if I just kept at it! (kidding)
Yeah, people won’t stop talking when they’re coked up.
