I know this is off topic but I thought palladium members couldn't add files to the file archive? How did you go about doing this?

I have no idea - I just kind of did it.

I went to the Video tab at the top of the page - clicked on the TEK section and then uploaded the content.

The link seemed to go into the Euphoric Mind - I posted in the Chat section asking if I'd done it wrong cause I'd never uploaded video before.

Seems I not only did it wrong, but I also wasn't supposed to be able to do it at all.

It looks like Benga has uploaded the story as well:

there's reason in the madness
(description, pasted from http://www.rtfa.net/tag/freebase-caffeine )
there’s this guy from Vancouver, who has created a Jonathan Swift-esque Modest Proposal, of sorts. Essentially, our Vancouver Videographer has created a tutorial that illustrates how to take plain coffee, combine it with a household cleanser, and end up with a super-pure, smokable form of caffeine. Essentially, his challenge to policymakers is this: criminalize coffee. Naturally, after coffee is criminalized will inevitably come the next food that can be purified, and so on… This is the argument of absurdity (reductio ad absurdum); how ridiculous could we theoretically make policy before policy has become too absurd to take seriously?

Some people will doubtless be shocked that the Vancouver Videographer suggests selling it on the school playground with the name “black magic,” but he insists that it must be sold with the disclaimer that it is legal to sell. Of course, anyone who is shocked by the suggestion is clearly missing the point of the video. In A Modest Proposal, Swift never advocated for cannibalism, and he would probably have been disgusted if people actually ate the children as a result of his proposal. On the contrary, people ought to be shocked by what is currently criminalized.

Personally, I love this message, but I’m not about to freebase some coffee. I would suggest that a more direct route to smokable caffeine would be to purchase chemically pure caffeine, rather than using the coffee method depicted in the video. Although this does have me thinking about some possibilities, let me reiterate: making freebase caffeine isn’t the point of the video.

I’d venture that all anyone really needs to hear are the words “freebase caffeine” and they are less than an hour from actually making it a reality. The knowledge is already out there, and a video tutorial isn’t a necessary step to making your own freebase caffeine. Any process that can be explained in 120 seconds is childishly simple, so it’s not like this video is the groundbreaking source of some “great new technique.”

What is groundbreaking, however, is the suggestion that we could criminalize everything simply by showing how easy it is to transform it into a “scary form.” Hot peppers, for example, are well known for their accompanying endorphin rush - perhaps peppers aren’t too far behind coffee? In fact, someone could just walk down the aisles of a supermarket and identify which products, fruits, and vegetables have any conceivable potential for becoming “scarier.” Why not create an act stipulating that nothing, whatsoever, can be sold in a store unless it has first been confirmed that it could never be made into a scary form?

Because it is absurd.

If it is plain to see why this line of reasoning is absurd, then we need to work backwards to figure out where this absurd line of reasoning began, and then remedy the situation so that it is no longer absurd.

The brown crud in that video is no freebase caffeine. I once extracted that from caffeine pills just for fun, and it's a fine white powder that runs on foil like Ben Johnson.

And it's no crack substitute, it doesn't get you high, only awake. Too much and just you get jittery with racing heart and all, not pleasant.


My cat used it all up to make her smack last longer, it's the perfect cut for foil smokers. The only type she knows that makes it run longer (+40% = twice as many hits) without diluting the taste too much (similarly bitter), or making the last few drops burn in one spot (like paracetamol does).

Some people do get mild euphoria from caffeine. You can't deny that...

Just buy the stuff. I've seen it go for less than $10 for 100grams (equivalent to 1,000 cup of coffee) on the net.

Hello, Benga. I'm the originator of the caffeine freebase video, almost a year ago, and posted originally on YouTube. Out of all the reaction I've seen online, I must say that you got the point fairly well. Indeed, I also think that all drugs should be legal, and that people have the innate right to change their consciousness as they see fit. I've reposted the video on my YouTube page again, but in slightly higher quality this time. The original clip was shot at 640x480 pixels resolution. Anyone is free to use it in any way whatsoever, including money-making or mockery. The only reason I opened an account here was to reply to your intelligent and humourous remarks, and may close this account now that I've left my comments for you. People may comment or contact me via my various video and picture sites. What a pity that most onliners don't quite meet up to the standard of smart, black humour... All the best. Bye

To be honest i don't think it is freebase, and i think it is the ammonia that is causing the feeling of being high. I've tried it and got some "pure caffeine".
I smoked it in a hookah, which i knew already when i started it that it was a bad idea since caffeine and NH3 will stay in the water and i got no feeling at all.
If you want to get high that way, just sniff the fumes from a ammonia bottle (and it will hurt) XD

please do not tell people to snif ammonia

Read up on some chemistry; caffeine is freebaseable. There are many routes of ingestion for caffeine, alkaloids in general, and for many other drugs. I certainly would not do anything so foolish as to deliberately inhale ammonia fumes. Science is fun. Chemistry offers better living, if intelligently applied.
