Below is my order confirmation for my crystalline oxytocin. I’ve changed some of the information to protect my privacy, as well as to occult the supply company info so that home experimenters are not supplied with a “how to overdose on oxytocin” manual. All of the changes are in bold italics.

The neurochemist who is writing a book about oxytocin that I initially contacted about this project told me that the chemical supply company probably wouldn’t ask any questions if I put down a university address for my order. When I first created an account with this company I said that I was affiliated with the sculpture department at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. But for this order I put down Syracuse University, which makes more sense given my current address. So far, no questions.

I love being addressed as Dr. Gokey.
