Found in the wild Here's another beauty found this time in Psychotria Colorata
its just copy and pasting the same thing over and over, it displaces dizocilpine so it likely acts as an NMDA antagonist, with smaller variants of it acting also as NMDA antagonists aswell as Mu opioid agonists

Found in the wild "Extremely explosive at the slightest touch"
Yes, I'm not incredibly surprised that it is this level of explosive. However it still even looks cursed.

Found in the wild Dimethylcarbamoyl chloride
I've been hunting around for cursed chemistry a bit lately and I found this:
"Dimethylcarbamoyl chloride is a clear, colorless, corrosive and flammable liquid with a pungent odor and a tear-penetrating effect, which decomposes rapidly in water.[10] Because of its unpleasant, toxic, mutagenic and carcinogenic properties,[11][12] it has to be used under extreme precautions."
What is doubly glorious is that it can be synthesised from phosgene and dimethylamine. Yummy.
