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
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.
Those are probably fractional grains. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grain_(unit)
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.
So "7 1-2" should be read as 7.5? Do you know if there is a difference between "grs" and "GRS"?
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.
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.
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.
Gotcha. Terrifying.
Big words big GRS, little words little grs. The GR and GRS is what should be questioned.
That makes sense. And the q. s.
q.s. - quantum sufficiat
as much as suffices; a sufficient quantity

Ahhh, ok. Thanks!
Yeah. Lack of standard notation or standardized font for ingredients. No regulations in ppace for legibility.
Oh, not grams. I thought the dosage seemed high.
How much antimony is too much antimony?
It sure is.
The top tax rate
More importantly though, how much is enough?
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.
“uphill both ways” is a lot funnier if you interpret it as being really blasted
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
Replace coal mining with flipping burgers at mc Donald's and that's just today
Luxury!
Didn't have no swimming pool when I was just a lad, our neighbors septic tank was the closest thing we had!
Next time, instead of asking if someone is pregnant, just ask if they are anodyne expectorant.
If you have cannabis and morphine do you really need everything else?
I wonder what this stuff tasted like
It probably tastes like nothing because it instantly numbed your tongue.
Can't taste anything when you're instantly unconscious
I would genuinely love to try this one day. I just want to know what it's like.
Same. It sounds like a good time
So that's where YOLO came from.
Some of Sassy's special stuff right there!
Is this a The big Lez show reference? I just found that series today and that would be quite the coincidence
Yeah lol xD
Stellar reference
you talkin' to me?
They just released Bill Cosby's recipe for Saturday nights at the playboy mansion.
Oh yes, good old g/floz
grs. is grains, not grams. 1 grain is about 1/15 gram, or 65mg.
