To the point to be annoying. I am running an open database of chemical properties[0], I get nearly every single day Chinese companies proposing me to buy whatever compounds they are producing including non legal ones.

Even more stupid, I get phone calls and email asking me if I can source stupidly well known illegal drug for a friend doing some research. Even if this is clear that I am just providing experimental data and no chemicals at all.

So yes, you can get chemicals very easily and you have a lot of providers which are not really looking at the legality of the stuff.

A friend is looking to do research into any one of the following: Can-D, Chew-Z, skooma (moon sugar ok), Jet or UltraJet, spark, spike, spin or spank, and velocet. They are prepared to pay well. You can reach them here: https://youtu.be/PZqx-lMZHM0
In case it isn't clear to some people, these are all nerdy references to fictional drugs in video games and science fiction stories where the drug plays an important role in the story
Sorry, only Zyme is available these days.
Howzabout some clarky cat?

The first 5 minute of this is one of the funniest things I've watched.

This video contains content from LDS, who has blocked it in your country on copyright grounds

Weird. Mormons getting salty?

That's a pity. It's from Brass Eye (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brass_Eye), a piss-take on panicky documentaries, it's the drugs one and totally brilliant. And they got a mandrill on it.

Most of them are well worth a watch, get them if you can.

That's pretty great! I was able to see it through the Daily Motion link.

I did not see anything overtly Mormon, however. The LDS copyright block is confusing.

Worked for me in the US

Ok, me too, in Europe. Although the first 40 seconds are a black screen with no audio

The same is true for the aforementioned YouTube link (which is accessible from the UK and Ireland according to https://polsy.org.uk/stuff/ytrestrict.cgi ).

I guess that was part of the original show then?
I could not watch the video, but from Urban Dictionary, this is a basis for a brilliant prank: ... there is an elaborate verbal dance that you need to go through with them as they pretend not to know what you are talking about, but perseverance is the key here.
Off topic, but Cheméo is very nice: search by InChIKey, similarity search, the page of results as images. Great work!
Thank you! If you need more functionalities, just let me know.
