OH!

 

I've got a good "crazy old skool scientist" story.

 

A guy in my department (who happens to be somewhat famous in the climbing/mountaineering community as well) was once tasked with synthesizing and purifying some metabolites to a particular drug. Rather than synthesize the stuff conventionally using organic chemistry techniques, he decided to just take the drug personally, let his liver and kidneys make the metabolites, collect his own urine, and isolate the metabolites out of it.

 

Worked like a charm supposedly and with fringe benefits!

You could really say he was "experimenting with drugs" hahaha.gif
