The Casey Jones Express recently called at Benzedrex Station where, as you may be aware, the station's namesake Benzedrex inhalers containing 250mg propylhexadrine are available for purchase over-the-counter, without age restrictions or ID requirements. The kitchen staff had an especially busy evening ahead of them, so the sous-chef saw to it to purchase himself one of these Benzedrex inhalers, as did many of the staff.
The sous-chef, who weighs 114kg and had ingested nuerontin several times that day totalling c. 3.6g O.P., easily removed the tip of the inhaler after using it in both nostrils twice. He was pleasantly surprised by the gentle scents of lavender and menthol. After breaking open the inhaler, he removed from within a long, thin, cylindrical piece of cotton containing the medication, and observed it. The sous-chef saw that the cotton was slightly colored towards the middle, while it was plain and white at the ends. As the sous-chef of a very fine kitchen serving a very fine dining car on a very fine luxury train, he knew all too well the dangers of intestinal blockage from a substance such as cotton, so, in the interest of Harm Reduction, the sous-chef decided to cut off the ends with scissors.
While the sous-chef had read that extractions of the propylhexadrine were possible and relatively simple (if a bit time consuming), the kitchen was unfortunately out of the process' essential lemon juice, ascorbic acid, or, strangely enough, any acidic liquid one might conceive of. So, he committed to swallowing them as painlessly as possible. That is why the sous-chef further cut the colored cotton into four small pieces, and disposed of the non-colored bits. He put the cottons, two at a time, at the back of his tongue and gulped down some water as quickly as he possibly could! There were no adverse reactions to the flavours of menthol and lavender, which the sous-chef found pleasant.
As the kitchen prepared for the serving of afternoon tea in the Parlour Cars, the sous-chef certainly noticed an upwelling of calm focus, alertness, and creative energy. In fact, this very report that you are reading was adapted from the sous-chef's own personal journal, into which he was seen to be scribbling furiously for several hours after the culinary duties for afternoon tea were completed.
At this time the Casey Jones Express was, oddly enough, still at the platform in Benzedrex Station for another few minutes while the commotion of afternoon tea was settling down. The sous-chef took this as an opportunity to purchase another Benzedrex inhaler. This time round, he decided to ingest the entire cotton, cut into three pieces. After this dose, the chef continued his journal scribbling with great fervour and even went so far as to demanding from the onboard Internet Relations Advisor that his journal entries be reviewed and edited for publication on this website. The sous-chef also wished it be specifically mentioned that he found great delight in the flavor of his burps after ingesting the inhaler cottons, as they took on the flavours mentioned earlier of lavender and menthol!
At the time of this publication, the sous-chef continues to exhibit symptoms of alert focus. His demeanor outside of his mad writings is rather mild, a welcome relief to the kitchen staff. They will surely be watching trepidatiously to see how the sous-chef's demeanor is influenced by the effects of his drugs wearing off! In the mean time, they jabber amongst themselves about the kitchen's disgraceful lack of liquids acidic, and how they simply must keep better track of these sorts of things. Furthermore, the product obtainable from the recipes read by the sous-chef would be a fine addition to the afternoon tea menu! So, the staff took it upon themselves to stock up on lemon juice very soon, in the interest of the Express's riders, and more importantly in the interest of Harm Reduction.
