A spoonfulla cocaine helps that medicine go down...

Plus it makes you more confident and better looking.

10% alcohol, cannabis and chloroform. Sounds like a very long night's sleep after a small cup

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Is it 7*(1-2) = 7 to 14grs, or 7+(1-2) = 8 to 9grs?

Also love the range of potential error. Plus or minus 1gr? Eh, it's fine.

It was defined such that 252.458 units would balance 1 cubic inch (16 cm3) of distilled water at an ambient air-water pressure and temperature of 30 inches of mercury (100 kPa) and 62 °F (17 °C) respectively.

Nice and convenient.

That's the way I would have done it. Pretty intuitive.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (3 children)

So "7 1-2" should be read as 7.5? Do you know if there is a difference between "grs" and "GRS"?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Considering the active ingredients seem to be listed in bold, I think it’s safe to assume that it was just simpler to use all caps for one part of the label and lower case on the other half.

GRS probably stands for grains. A grain in 1/7000th of a pound, so these is actually not that much per serving. Unless this is using British Imperial Units, which are different from American standard Units. If it’s British imperial, I don’t know how much this is meant to mean.

Found some pics. Definitely 7 and 1/2.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Agreed. It sent me digging.

An avoirdupois pound is equal to 16 avoirdupois ounces and to exactly 7,000 grains. The conversion factor between the kilogram and the international pound was therefore chosen to be divisible by 7 with a terminating decimal representation, and an (international) grain is thus equal to exactly 64.79891 milligrams.

Pound(mass)

The Avoirdupois entry had a good visual representation as well as more weights history.

The "q. s." remains a mystery though.

The "q. s." remains a mystery though.

q.s. means quantum satis and is Latin for "as much as necessary". Which means they add enough for the right consistency or flavour or whatever, but the exact amount isn't given and might vary.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Gotcha. Terrifying.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Big words big GRS, little words little grs. The GR and GRS is what should be questioned.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That makes sense. And the q. s.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Ahhh, ok. Thanks!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah. Lack of standard notation or standardized font for ingredients. No regulations in ppace for legibility.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Oh, not grams. I thought the dosage seemed high.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago (3 children)

How much antimony is too much antimony?

[–] dream_weasel 12 points 1 year ago

It sure is.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

More importantly though, how much is enough?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

The top tax rate

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago

After being sick with a terrible cough and realizing that the only good cough suppresent is a controlled substance I bet this shit worked great.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

“uphill both ways” is a lot funnier if you interpret it as being really blasted

Next time, instead of asking if someone is pregnant, just ask if they are anodyne expectorant.

Nobody ever drove me to school when it was 90 degrees below

We had to walk butt-naked through 40 miles of snow

Worked in the coal mines 22 hours a day for just half a cent

Had to sell my internal organs just to pay the rent

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Replace coal mining with flipping burgers at mc Donald's and that's just today

Didn't have no swimming pool when I was just a lad, our neighbors septic tank was the closest thing we had!

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

If you have cannabis and morphine do you really need everything else?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I wonder what this stuff tasted like

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

It probably tastes like nothing because it instantly numbed your tongue.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Can't taste anything when you're instantly unconscious

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I would genuinely love to try this one day. I just want to know what it's like.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Same. It sounds like a good time

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

So that's where YOLO came from.

Some of Sassy's special stuff right there!

[–] SeeingWhereThisGoes 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is this a The big Lez show reference? I just found that series today and that would be quite the coincidence

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

grs. is grains, not grams. 1 grain is about 1/15 gram, or 65mg.
