Drug synthesis Memes

Nothing screams "organic chemistry enthusiast" like casually synthesizing Schedule II controlled substances in your kitchen because the pharmacy was closed. Somewhere, a DEA agent just felt a disturbance in the force. The beautiful irony is that you'd need extreme focus to successfully synthesize a medication that... gives you focus. It's the pharmaceutical equivalent of needing scissors to open a package of scissors.

The academic paper that Walter White would've written if he had tenure. This brilliant parody flips the script on pharmaceutical synthesis by suggesting you can make cold medicine FROM meth instead of the notorious other way around. The authors' names "O. Hai and I. B. Hakkenshit" (Oh Hi and I Be Talking Shit) really seal the deal. It's the perfect satire of how scientific literature can sound so proper while describing something completely illegal. Just don't try showing this to your organic chemistry professor unless you want to end up on some kind of watchlist!

The textbook stack of doom explains EVERYTHING! That forlorn face saying "I'm depressed for some reasone" while surrounded by medicinal chemistry bibles is the universal sign of a soul being crushed by reaction mechanisms. Those innocent little carbon rings and functional groups may look cute on paper, but after staring at 5,000 synthesis pathways, your serotonin receptors just give up! The irony of studying drugs that treat depression while the very study CAUSES it is *chef's kiss* pure scientific poetry. Your brain on med chem is basically just a sad benzene ring missing an electron.
