(paraphrased) WASHINGTON--It took awhile for the class to warm up to him, but former Washington Mayor and convicted felon Marion Barry quickly had about 15 Ballou High School students talking about chemistry.
At a school in one of the District's roughest neighborhoods, Barry taught a lesson and called on sleepy-eyed students, pressing them for answers about chemistry.
"One thing you always got to do is speak up," Barry told the class. "Be careful of the people that you steps on the way up," he said. "because sometime you'll meets them on the way down!"
Besides taqlking chemistry, Barry, 68, told the student not to butcher the English language and not to smoke. He even broached the topic of sex.
"I'm old fashioned. I believes in abstinence," he said. One of the students said she respects Barry "as a black person who's accomplished a lot. Another didn't care that the former mayor had spent time in prison for a drug conviction.
"Nobody's perfect," he said. "At least he's back now. He came back to help the community..."
ROTFLMAO...HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA...
This is not the original. Don't know who said it first, but one thing I do know: I heard that line, and its a great funny line, in a Honeymooners episode (we're talking 1950's era, for you young'ns). I'm pretty sure it was the episode where Ralph is acting in a local lodge play to make money for the lodge, but builds it up thinking he'll go to Hollywood (back then it was Hollywood, not Hollyweird).
This POS is disgusting.
I would snatch a child of mine out of any class that this fool "taught".
He has nothing of any redeeming value to say about anything.
That's "gots", your honorific Mayoralness.
LOL!
This form of freeing the base is more time consuming and dangerous than making crack, but the result is more pure, and can give a larger yield than converting the same amount of cocaine to crack would.
While both forms of the drug can be called freebase cocaine, only crack (baking soda method) can be called crack.
Procedures for both substances (crack and freebase cocaine) are based on the fact that while cocaine hydrochloride (regular cocaine) requires a high temperature to ignite, base cocaine requires a much lower temperature to ignite. This makes it ideal for smoking.
Freebase
Mix about 1 g of coke in 10 ml of water in a small vial. Slowly add drops of ammonia to the solution. A white milky precipitate will form. Stop adding ammonia when additional drops no longer result in precipitation.
Add 5 ml of ethyl ether, close vial, and shake. The precipitate (freebase) will dissolve in the ether. Siphon off the ether with a pipette (ether and water don't mix), and slowly drip it on a plate.
As the ether evaporates, white crystals will form. This is the evil freebase. Crush the crystals and put under a heat lamp for at least 24 hrs to let the solvent evaporate.
ETHYL ETHER IS EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE. IN THE PRESENCE OF AIR IT CAN FORM PEROXIDES WHICH WILL SPONTANEOUSLY EXPLODE! ALSO, ETHER CAN CRAWL FROM AN OPEN BOTTLE AND TRIGGER AN EXPLOSION MANY FEET AWAY.
Crack
Mix 2 parts of coke HCL to 1 part baking soda in 20 ml of water. Heat solution gently until white precipitates form, and stop heating when precipitation stops. Filter and keep precipitate.
Wash precipitate once with water (this procedure usually omitted in street product).
Dry 24 hours under heat lamp. Voila. The product is much less pure (there is lots of baking soda left) but the procedure is safer.
Common Crack Method
Mix 2 parts of coke HCL (regular cocaine) to 1 part baking soda in 20 ml of water. Heat solution gently until white precipitates form, and stop heating when precipitation stops.
After gentle heating, the freebase coke will float to the top, any excess soda will precipitate to the bottom.
Given that, you'd never filter it, and the 24 hour heat lamp thing is unrealistic, too.
Just collect the compound that rises to the top, and you have the finished product.
Note that what you're trying to do is start and sustain a chemical reaction (bonding the hcl with the base-soda) so as long as the reaction is happening you don't have to continue heating."
Disturbing story: Earlier this week my 16-year old daughter came home from public school and told me that "some old black guy with a beard" addressed an assembly that day and ranted about "so-called American democracy" and how the government is "going around ghe world sticking guns in peoples' faces." "Hmmmm", I asked, "Was his name Dick Gregory?" Sure enough, that's who it was! I'm happy to announce that several of the conservative high schoolers booed him and one boy was asked to leave the assembly because of that. My daughter declined to clap for him and did not participate in the standing ovation. This was an unscheduled event. The kids were pulled out of class rather abruptly. There's a black activist parent at this school who's always giving the principal a hard time about diversity, yadda, yadda. I'm betting he leaned on the poor guy to give 'ol Dick some air time. I wonder when they'll invite Newt Gingerich to speak....?
It's probably best done under an explosion proof laboratory hood, just ask good ole Barry for funding a give him a cut, it's all about leadership and learning.
As in, "I gots ta get me anuddah blast, yo."
THE BITCH SET HIM UP!!!
