Participants are curious about other drugs that might be used in this manner, speculating that sedative-hypnotic nonbarbiturates could be involved. There is skepticism regarding the practicality and safety of such practices, with concerns raised about the risk of self-poisoning and the chemical implications of using "hypnotic" substances in cosmetics. The conversation highlights a need for more information and clarification on the topic.

Some people use drugs combined in lipstick as a defense weapon in the streets.

One of the drugs used is chloral hydrate.

Does anyone else know what the other drugs are that are used in the lipstick for defense ?

They may be some of the sedative-hypnotic nonbarbituates but I am not sure.

Please let me know.

I have never heard of this, please provide a link as to what you are referring to. The first thing that strikes me is how the wearer would avoid poisoning themselves, and I have no idea what you mean by "hypnotic" considering we are talking about chemistry.
 
It seems like a simple enough question: what is the solubility of epsom salt in water at 20°C? A graph or table showing how it varies with temperature would be a bonus. But upon searching the internet I have been unable to determine this with confidence. Wikipedia gives the value of 113g/100ml. But other sources disagree and I can't find a definitive source for the information. I even asked chatgpt but it couldn't be sure either. I thought, naively, that this would be easy to look up without...
I was introduced to the Octet Rule recently and make me wonder, why does 8 valence electrons or a full p orbital always make an element inert? What is so special with a full p orbital? Like take Calcium for an example, its outer orbital is filled but its only the s orbital thats filled so its still reactive not so much as the Alkaline metals but still pretty reactive. Can someone explain it to me? Thanks!!
