In 2010, I received a number of samples of NCEs (New Chemical Entities) that I had developed*

For some unknown reason, Facebook found that this post, which I uploaded ten days ago, violates the community standards.
It turns out that the drawing of the molecule made by Geo Kreese was seen as promoting banned substances. So I'm reposting with a...

The storyline for my recent posts has taken on a life of its own
The nitrogen atom can be likened to the metal ring that serves as an opener in a can of Coca-Cola.

Let me start with a confession: I had my first planned psychoactive experience at the age of 28.
