Hello, Bluelighters!

[Racemate]

Long time lurker, first time poster here.
I'm a female raver from Toronto with some background in chemistry (high school and self-taught only) and a keen interest in psychoactive compounds. I've definitely been around the block; I have experience with most mainstream drugs, many rare ones and a cornucopia of research chemicals; 37 different compounds in all! I am also a volunteer harm-reduction worker for a local organization in my city. Hopefully I can learn something, have some fun here and contribute what I can to this community!

The Big Smoke I like it!

Welcome to Bluelight....or should I so welcome to posting on Bluelight.

Is your name referring to racetams?

Thanks!
My name is actually a reference to an equal mix of dextro- and levo- enantiomers of a molecule!

Right and left isomers or something? I don't get it. Whatever the last chem class I took was like first year uni phase diagrams to make sure my concrete would dry or something.

I'm sure it's very clever though

I knew this!

Some drugs are better not as a racemic mixture but as one isomer (dextro-amphetamine comes to mind) whereas some drugs racemic mix of isomers is what makes it so special (MDMA for instance).
