Hi Sasha, just like James said although we might technically have the skills to – we’re not allowed!
Although, in my lab we sometimes work with cocaine as it interacts with some of the proteins we work on and it has to be kept in a locked poisons cabinet and it’s recorded who takes out some and for what experiment – but it does mean scientists can completely legally can buy really big amounts of drugs online, which is crazy to explain to a lot of people not in science!
