1. acetaminophen analgesic, antipyretic

SlobberToofTigger,
Just toss about fifty pseudonephrine tablets into a chicken and let the alligator eat that (has most of the active ingredients in crystal meth) - Yea, I'm a chemist. The acetone or liquid heat is just a solvent to burn away all the Carrier chemicals, the lithium from the batteries is the catalyst - That's all I'm saying. Lithium is the chemical that cannot be flushed from the body, so onec you absorb lithium, you have it for life... Crystal Meth is no secret, unfortunately the tweeks tend to use the quick and dirty method to make it (we call it the "quick and boom" method). Besides the toxic fumes are not just cumulative, they are ever lasting, so just making it can be as deadly and harmful to your heath as taking it. Lethal Drugs - Dahhh....
..
But the pseudonephrin tablets will get the alligator tweeking....
..
Not to raise too may eye brows - but in the 60s in college we made LSD and gave it to a pigeon (PETA would have been really Pissed) and also gave some to a Parrot (yea we were young and stupid geeks). The damn Parrot rambled on and even sounded a lot like the easy rider characters - slurred speech, incoherent sentences. the pigeon just looked cross eyed (try and picture a cross eyed pigeon) and flopped around till he died. The damn yakety yak parrot kept on,,, an on,,,, and on,,,,,. The give away was he heard one of my associates say "I guess that damn LSD agrees with the Parrot". Which made the parrot's new favorite get attention phrase"That damn LSD agrees with the Parrot". Our Lab director at TN Knoxville wasn't happy about that...
....
My friend recently told this story and my wife heard it for the first time - I have been married to a nun for the past three months - she is still pissed (and it happened in the sixties, before I even knew her!!!).
..
Like I always say - What Goes Around - Comes around. My late great grandfather always said "what you do when your young and stupid - will end up biting you in the ass when you are old and grey".
..
Incidentally, never smoked or did drugs (especially after seeing what it did to that poor pigeon). Smoking always seemed dumb "Lets' get this straight - It makes you cough, it hurts your lungs, can give you Cancer - and you ay For It???"

Sorry folks....I can't limit myself to 10 :) Please forgive me.

One of my failings is the many lists I have....I'm a slave to my lists and yes I do buy against my lists (I just don't make lists)

This list isn't of my own making. It is actually an excerpt from a broader white paper written by several physicians. That paper is "Doctors for Disaster Preparedness".

Ten Essential OTC Medications to Stockpile by Cynthia J. Koelker, MD
http://www.survivalblog.com/2010/12/ten_essential_otc_medications.html

Are over-the-counter (OTC) drugs really worth stockpiling? As a family physician my answer is a resounding yes. Most of the following were actually prescription medications when first released. (In higher dosages, several still are.) Although other OTC drugs are worth considering, these ten have been selected due to their ready availability, affordability, safety in both adults and children, and multi-use potential. Used alone or in combination, they can effectively treat dozens of conditions including: headache, fever, sore throats, ear ache, menstrual cramps, heartburn, arthritis, ulcers, diarrhea, allergies, hives, congestion, dizziness, mild anxiety, nausea, vomiting, poison ivy, athlete’s foot, ringworm, eczema, insomnia, backache, gout, diaper rash, yeast infections, and many more common illnesses. ---- Continued at link, above ---
