Behind enemy lines

[TheRedneck]

What I'm studying up on is production of nicotine from grown tobacco.

We will make it entirely from scratch if push comes to shove comes to gunshots.

Be careful... nicotine is a deadly poison. Rememer the stories of the African pygmies with poison-tipped arrows? That was nicotine. In extremely low doses it replaces acetylcholine as a neurotransmitter and relaxes the nervous system while also constricting capillaries, causing the heart to pump harder and giving a short spike in blood pressure. In higher doses, it shuts down the nervous system and closes off blood flow entirely.

Of course, that means if I am ever shot by African pygmies with poison arrows, I'll just get a mild nicotine rush.
