Strychnine
An alkaloid found naturally in various plants, though contrary to popularopinion, not in most hallucinogenic ones.
Effects: In rats, it produces definite improvements in maze learning and visual and spatial discrimination. In humans, it has a stimulating effect on the spinal cord. It can produce a painful erection, a dangerously high heart rate, excessive body heat, and profuse sweating.
Precautions: It is extremely toxic.
Dosage: Doses high enough to result in measureable improvements in brain functioning (2 mg or more) carry a very high risk of rapid heart rate, convulsions, opisthotonus (a condition where the head is bent back as far as it will go), intense pain (consciousness is maintained until death), and death from respiratory paralysis; doses small enough to avoid these risks do not produce any measureable improvements. As yet, no one has isolated the brain-enhancing component for safe commercial use.
Questions and Answers
Does LSD contain any chemicals such as strychnine that can be detected through urinalysis?, I realize actual LSD cannot be detected through urinalysis. But my boyfriend says that LSD these days has a certain level of strychnine in it because its nothing like it used to be. So do you happen to know if there is any chemicals now added to LSD that would show up in urinalysis and if there are how long do they take to leave the system and what are they?
What Robert says is true, however, there are key points being left out, (not on-purpose) that are important to know to have a clearer picture:
99.99% of urinalysis screens do not test for LSD as it is costly as heck, and very meticulous to do. LSD is potent at 100 micrograms, (a standard dose) and detecting the remnants of it in your urine is a feat in and of itself. (Toput it in perspective- a standard sugar packet has 1 gram of sugar in it. If that gram of sugar were actually a crystal gram of LSD it would equate to 10,000 doses. So its like trying to detect the leftovers of 1/10,000th of a sugar packet in your urine--) Its so rarely an issue with people anyway almost all companies and almost all law enforcement organizations alike refrain from screening for it.
Strychnine in LSD simply doesn't happen. There are probably under 25 people in this country at any given time, across all ages and spectrums of existence, who have had any hand in ruly producing real LSD. The people that know how, and this is a paraphrase of a report BY the DEA on the difference in busting LSD manufacturers versus the rest of the illicit drug spectrum: "LSD manufacturers are different from every other sort of drug criminal we have profiled through past dealings with. The chemists who make it, and the high level distributors who deal it do not do it for the money, but rather because they feel they are doing what they were destined to do, what they were *supposed* to do with their lives, regardless of consequence. They don't slip up and get sloppy because they are too high, nor do they cut deals for themselves to bring down others/chemists, as that would be a direct slap in the face of everything they stand for "
No kidding-- Its not word for word, but the essence is entirely there, from this report I read a year or two ago. With all this in mind, do you think these people are adding strychnine to their product? Its one of the hardest synthesis on the planet to do properly, and anyone with the ability to acquire all the watched precursors and successfully create a batch has entirely different reasons for what they are doing then the government and the propaganda machines would have you think. Strychnine being found in it is an old government started scare tactic, along with "spinal tap" related rumors, and people jumping out windows for any reason other then suicide, related to a bad trip. Nobody on LSD thinks they can fly.
If you are worried about blowing a UA because you took acid, and it was actually real acid Do not fret. You will not be caught. However, your boyfriend is right about the acid nowadays... Due to the prevalence of other psychedelic compounds emerging as much easier to acquire and distribute, and having very similar properties, most of the acid nowadays is not acid but rather a cousin of LSD, usually being one of a few different varying synthetic phenethylamines, closer to what is in peyote then LSD, structurally. What you want to be in the know in is, is what you took really LSD or something similar, and how confident are you of this? If you know what you took was real dose, relax
;)
Hope this helps.

how many chiral centres does cocaine,LSD,Strychnine and Taxol have also how many stereoisomers are possible?, I have already found some of the chiral centres in these molecules, however i just want to ask anyone who know exactly how many chiral centres these molecules have and confirm with how many i have found.
Thank you
Well, the rule of 2^n stereoisomers is a bit different: it says that if you have n stereocentres, you may have 2^n stereoisomers max, but you may have less stereoisomers because some of those can be meso (see for example tartaric acid, which has two stereocentres but has three stereoisomers).
Ok, now let's answer the question:
Cocaine: 4 stereocentres, 16 stereoisomers max
LSD: 2 stereocentres, 4 stereoisomers max
Strychnine: 6 stereocentres, 64 stereoisomers max
Taxol: 11 stereocentres, 2048 stereoisomers max

Do rats have strychnine in their tails?, Do rats contain this chemical called strychnine in their tails?
No. Strychnine is a poisonous alkaloid that is obtained from seeds of the nux vomica tree (S. nux-vomica) and related plants of the genus Strychnos.
Strychnine has been used in rodent poisons and in smaller doses as a stimulant in veterinary practice. It increases the reflex irritability of the spinal cord, which results in a loss of normal inhibition of the body's motor cells, causing severe contractions of the muscles; arching of the back is a common symptom of poisoning.
Strychnine rapidly enters the blood, whether taken orally or by injection, and symptoms of poisoning usually appear within 20 minutes. The symptoms begin with cramps and soon culminate in powerful and agonizing convulsions that subside after a minute but recur at a touch, a noise, or some other minor stimulus. Death is usually due to asphyxiation resulting from continuous spasms of the respiratory muscles.
Where in the neuromuscular junction must strychnine have it's effects?,
I'm sorry I'm replying without answering the question, but please, PLEASE, PLEASEEE never never NEVER put an unnecessary apostrophe in the posessive form of "its." I can see maybe leaving out a necessary apostrophe if you're too lazy, but adding one just demonstrates ignorance, because technically it takes more time to do so. Please don't, for the more sensitive among us. Open a grammar book. It's a tragedy the subject's not taught these days.
