Drugs are your friend. They help you get through times of stress. Even—and maybe especially—the "just say no to drugs" people are getting through the day thanks to drugs. Think caffeine, nicotine, ethanol and sucrose. Not to mention all those little pills doctors prescribe to keep up the spirits, calm the nerves, sharpen the mind, help relate with others, avoid aches and pains, lower the cholesterol, sleep better, wake up better, deal with allergies, and...well...the list does go on, doesn't it?
Some are legal, some aren't. We caution you not to do anything illegal because...well...it's illegal. We have no control over the content of the sites we link to, and of course this is all provided only for educational purposes anyhow.
We offer this information because the ability to make your own entertainment substances and mood uplifters during hard times is very useful. And you'll certainly find everyday beverages such as beer and wine to be very useful barter items—or gifts of friendship.

Building a World Class Home Distillation Apparatus
As the website's host, Gert Strand AB of Sweden, says:
A step-by-step guide to building a relatively sophisticated home distillation apparatus that produces a highly refined distillate. The still is made from commonly available materials, with simple hand tools, and can be built for under $100.USD
The site contains two separate design plans for the stills. And while both can be used for a number of distillation tasks, it should be recognized that their designs have been optimized for the task of separating ethyl alcohol from a water based mixture.
Having said that, remember that the real purpose of this site is to educate and inform those of you who are interested in this subject.
It is not to be construed in any fashion as an encouragement to break the law.
If you believe that laws against home distillation of alcohol are incorrect, please take the time to contact your representatives in government, cast your vote at the polls, write newsletters to the media, and in general, try to make the changes in a legal and democratic manner.

Unfortunately we haven't found a good substitute. Know one?
Some people find carob a satisfactory substitute for chocolate. Forget about growing your own. It takes 15 years before the tree begins to produce fruit.
Coffea arabica is easy to grow indoors, makes a very attractive houseplant and if it likes you well enough it will even reward you with flowers and berries. A six-foot plant can produce two to four pounds of coffee a year. Grow in medium light, or filtered or indirect sunlight. Use a rich, acid soil kept moderately moist. Peat moss in the potting mix will help provide acid conditions. Ideal temperatures are between 60 and 85 degrees. Give the roots room to grow. Hardy to 28F. - Whatcom Seed Company
