Molecules!

I have ChemDraw! The standard price for ChemDraw Pro is £640.00, but students can buy it for £90. Yay.

To celebrate this, I have drawn the structures of every psychoactive drug I have ever taken. ( Big picture )

chemistry, shiny!, better living with modern pharmacology, yes i'm a geek

It does a lot more than draw hexagons. It draws pentagons and heptagons as well!

No, seriously - see my reply to Ian below.

Shiny pictures.

The part of me that needs a life ever so desperately wonders what the free software to do this is

This is art. Remake it out of pasta and newspaper Magazing cuttings (Prefferably Nuts) on black and submit it to the Royal accademy of art for thier summer exhibition.

Yep. Hand-drawing it would be another option.

(Oh, and another 'eek' at the full price. A small market to be sure, but what is so special that a CAD program couldn't do?)

Making it do it by proper chemistry rules probably. i.e valency and other scarier 'rules' which I never understood. I gave up when the electrons got complicated.

There used to be a freeware one but it was a bit like the difference between Ms Paint and Photoshop.

There is also ChemDraw Ultra which is £970 for commercial users and £360 for academic users. I don't know the student price because my cookie has expired now. I assume that the full versions include multiple licenses. Mine can only be installed on one machine ( ... )
