I got to use the famed green whistle today. It tastes like nail polish remover smells and I can still smell it on myself.

Ive never hearf of such a thing thats interesting. Does it make you feel good or does it just do what its sposed to.

It's weird.

It works really fast and reduces the pain but it's more like a dissociative than an analgesic. Doesn't make you high so much as detached.

Apparently ambos are only given two for the shift so if they use them both then they have to give either nasal fentanyl or IV morphine. They gave me a choice of the Penthrox or morphine, which I thought was kind of weird. Guess I mustn't look like a drug seeker.

Metho is 5% methanol and 95% ethanol.

From memory, one of the reasons for adding the methanol is to avoid it being taxed as alcohol.

When I was younger there were stories of metho being sold chilled in some places. Never found out whether that's an urban legend or not.

Word is they just put a bittering agent or something in it now.

Some do and some don't. There's a thread on Whirlpool about which metho is "safe" to distil and which still contains methanol.

Wanting to brew Corona is like wanting to brew Fosters. A shameful admission.

Fruit liquor is high in methanol but i do not understand how you can have enough of it to kill someone. Surely its lead and not methanol.

He had bought methanol to use as weed killer. They think he accidentally used that to make his brew.

It is unclear whether Lynam accidently mixed industrial methanol to make the grappa, or the men had inadvertently picked up a bottle of methanol when drinking at a donga on the property.

The court heard the effects of methanol poisoning take between six and 30 hours to appear after ingestion.

It becomes toxic when it is mixed with chemicals in the stomach as the body tries to process it.

Methanol is potentially lethal if someone has 230mg/L of it in their blood.

The court heard that Mr Wilmot had 1800mg/L of methanol in his blood.

Mr Meredith said Lynam bought methanol to use as industrial weed killer and confused it with ethanol when the home brew was made.

Photos were tendered as evidence showing none of the containers or bottles of liquids at Lynam's house were labelled.
