Uncle Fester was derived from a character drawn by cartoonist Charles Addams. However, these were single page cartoons, with no stories or character names. Nevertheless, the character is recognisa ...

Amphetamines are usually not used by athletes in sports involving extreme cardiovascular efforts, as methamphetamine and amphetamine put a great deal of additional stress on the heart. The United States Air Force uses amphetamines (Dexedrine) as stimulants for pilots, calling them "go-pills". After a mission, the Air Force issues a "no-go pill' (Ambien) to help the pilot sleep. Amphetamines have been popular among some truck drivers, construction workers, and factory workers whose jobs require long or irregular shift work or au ...

Amphetamines release stores of norepinephrine and dopamine from nerve endings by converting the respective molecular transporters into open channels. Amphetamine also releases stores of serotonin from synaptic vesicles. Like methylphenidate (Ritalin) amphetamines also prevent the monoamine transporters for dopamine and norepinephrine from recycling them (called reuptake inhibition) which leads to increased amounts of dopamine and norepinephrine in synaptic clefts. These combined effects rapidly increases the concentrations of the respective neurotransmitters in the synaptic cleft, which promotes nerve impulse tran ...

Clandestine chemistry does not limit itself only to drugs, it is also associated with explosives, and other illegal chemicals. Nitroglycerin is one chemical that clandestine chemists are known for producing on a small scale. Other, simpler explosives are commonly made by people for "fun", including acetone peroxide. Uncle Fester is a writer who commonly writes about different aspects of clandestine chemistry. Secrets of Methamphetamine Manufacture is among one of his most popular books, and is considered required reading for DE ...

Nitroglycerin is prepared by nitration of glycerol (also known as glycerin). In the process, glycerin is slowly tipped into a mix of full concentration nitric and sulfuric acids (about 50% sulfuric acid, 40% nitric acid, and 5-10% glycerin). The mixed acid must be cooled to approximately room temperature before the glycerin is added because they exotherm (heat up) greatly when combined. The solution is slowly stirred. A few seconds after mixing, the vessel must be immersed in a jacket of ice water to prevent the exothermic reaction from over ...

The experimental medical use of amphetamines began in the 1920s. It was introduced in most of the world in the form of the pharmaceutical Benzedrine in the late 1920s. The drug was used by the militaries of several nations, especially the air forces, to fight fatigue and increase alertness among servicemen. After decades of reports of abuse, the FDA banned Benzedrine inhalers and limited amphetamines to prescriptio ...

Ancient forms of clandestine chemistry included the manufacturing of poisons. Another old form of clandestine chemistry is the illegal brewing and distillation of alcohol. This was frequently done to avoid taxation on spirits. In the United States in the 1920s, alcohol was on prohibition. This opened a door for brewers to supply their own town with alcohol. Just like modern day drug labs, distilleries were placed in rural areas. The term moonshine generally referred to "corn whiskey ...
