While I do not condone this activity, I figured out a way to get access to Clarke's Analysis of Drugs and Poisons, along with all the other MedicinesComplete publications (Martindale: the complete drug reference, Stockley's drug interactions, etc, etc) for free.
1. go to
http://www.mytrashmail.com/ and check out the Temporary Email thing. Basically, you can have mail sent to
[email protected] and then just log-in to "AnyAddressYouCanThinkOf" on mytrashmail.com to read the mail sent to that address. You don't have to sign up or register for anything at all.
2. go to
http://www.medicinescomplete.com/mc/registration.htm to set up a 15-day free registration to MedicinesComplete. Provide an @mytrashmail.com email address.
3. When your 15-day trial to MedicinesComplete is done, just sign up for another 15-day free trial
with a different @mytrashmail.com account, ad infinitum.
It's a little bit of a hassle to have to re-register for the free trial (with a different e-mail address) every 15 days, but it really only takes a minute or two.
As for the original solubility question, my very limited experience (so far) with pure alprazolam powder would suggest that about 10-12mg is the max amount of alprazolam soluble in 50ml of 80-proof vodka. Although I suppose with more stirring, a little more alprazolam could dissolve than that. Does anybody have any laboratory-tested numbers for alprazolam solubility?
