Homemade chem set

Haven't seen one of these. Any resources?

Here's one that I have.

Honestly, not recommended unless you really know what you're doing especially regarding ventilation & purification.

>>5216 This is amazing because it shows how the average person can perform all the chemistry they need by themselves, instead of ever having to rely on chemical products from governments and megacorporations. Why buy insulin for thousands of $, when you could extract and purify it yourself? If you can literally produce every pharmaceutical you need in exceptionally high purity for a less than $10 of reagents, then you can easily synthesize basic chemical compounds as well. You could make quicklime for concrete or bleach from sanitation, using even simpler chemical processes.

>>5231 have you heard of the open insulin project https://openinsulin.org/our-blog/a-case-for-open-source-diabetes-testing-supplies/ Seems like biohacking is taking the scene in home made pharmaceutical products

>>5657 Extremely impressive DIY glucose test strip design. A test strip that lasts for 2 weeks and costs 10 cents is revolutionary. It shows that the world doesn't need to be a corporate dystopia to satisfy basic medical needs. You can do everything the megacorps can, except better quality and more efficiently. It's why they try so hard to ban you, sue you or imprison you or murder you when you make your own chemicals, electronics or software.

>>5664 >You can make what they make but better. This proves true in almost all cases, turns out their stuff is "advanced" just because they say so, but when you dig around it all becomes trivial almost.

>>5665 A corporate drug patent is just a codeword for needing to have a monopoly on production, otherwise no one would buy from them. They literally impose over 1000% markup on the insulin they produce. If you eat megacorp fast food, you are basically poisoning yourself. If you use megacorp software, you are using backdoored botnetware. When the megacorp media tells you need them no matter the cost, they are lying to you. Megacorps don't care about you at all. They only care about maximizing their profit, even at your expense.

Drugs are expensive because muh caretaking state that requires expensive excessive testing and licensing soykaf, also other anti-freemarket regulations like patents are not helping the case of cheap medicine. That's why for example gene therapy that can potentially cure terminal illnesses is so insanely expensive. SMA gene therapy for toddlers costs around 2.000.000 USD, thanks to such regulations. Long chain of testing including animal testing is required and takes a time. Illness is not waiting for final results however.

>>5678 In real scientific research conducted over the last thousands of years since the time of Archimedes, scientists copy information from each other freely and without restriction or royalties. Their work is completely open, because it is for the benefit of all humanity. What the megacorps do is privatize the profits of this research, making it so only rich shareholders extract the benefits. They don't care that non-disclosure agreements, patents or proprietary lock-ins massively slow down science, they only care that they can maximize their profit at all costs. They continuously add antifeatures like planned obsolescence or drm, despite knowing that it hurts the average person. All the regulations the megacorps claim they follow are lies. They can freely violate laws, which they themselves lobbied for, and literally only experience slap-on-the-wrist fines. They do not pay tax at all, but they will be bailed out by the taxpayer. They can literally make products that murder people en masse and get away with it.

>>5678 >>5684 So the problem is either too much capitalism or not enough. Got it!

>>5684 >>5685 they're pretty much complaining about the same things. A lot of the regulations that make it impossible for drugs to be manufactured by anybody but giant medcorps were put in place because they achieved market dominance and closed the door behind themselves.

I managed to stumble upon some chemicals in an antique shop. I was going to get lead fillings because they seemed like the best bet in terms of expiration. There was no price, so I ended up getting some lithium carbonate. It actually seems to be in pretty good condition still. It's still a white powder and it isn't caked up or anything.

>>5685 If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself. DIY is always cheaper than paying someone else, and you get a much better result. E.g. cooking your own food, writing software, growing plants, rolling tobacco, making clothing, construction. You do not need a billion dollars to make basic pharmaceuticals, except to pay licensing, royalties, fines or bribes. With DIY equipment, you can make higher quality penicillin, alcohol, amphetamine, morphine and soon insulin than the megacorps and perform your own PCR and glucose tests. You can literally make amphetamine with cheap, commonly available chemicals. In the future, everyone should be doing their own distilling, electrochemistry, culturing and welding by themselves.

>>5213 This is what I have, don't know if it counts as DIY chemistry.
