Скачать или смотреть Extracting the World's Most Popular Psychoactive: Caffeine

Cocaine and methamphetamine are well-known psychoactive drugs, but today, we will be extracting the world's most popular psychoactive drug, caffeine, from tea leaves, and we will see how pure we can get it.
Like many other people, caffeine is my favorite drug. People enjoy caffeine mainly because of its stimulant properties and how it inhibits the chemical responsible for sleepiness called adenosine.
You can make caffeine in the lab, but this is overly complicated when plants biosynthesize it; the most commonly known caffeine producer is the coffee plant, producing caffeine as a natural defense from bugs and other plants; this socially accepted psychoactive compound is found in many different plants as well such as in tea leaves. Some plants use caffeine to drug bees to make them want to come back and get their pollen; by giving a reward of drugs, the plants Pavlov bees into helping them breed, talk about a wingman.
