Bunnies (very useful) Scientific Facts: Bunnies never close doors
There's a laser treatment that targets and zaps your hair follicles, killing the cells responsible for growing hair. A friend of mine got it done on his back because he would get nasty ingrown hairs, which prompted a few of my lady friends to get their armpits and legs done.

Add a dab of lavender to milk. Leave town with an orange, and pretend you're laughing at it.
It's the only way to completely obliterate the follicle.

I have come to discourse on the profound inequities of the American political system.

Research Chemicals are actually dangerous in a slightly more mundane sense, in that they're ended up replacing a lot of the traditional drugs of choice. For example, when the Feds annihilated LSD production in the States, the response of drug dealers everywhere was to find something cheaper and relatively similar, so they turned to the NBOMEs. This is kind of the same story with heroin, MDMA, cocaine, ketamine. Virtually every traditional drug has been replaced, in part by research chemicals, because they're cheaper to get a hold of and users basically have no way of knowing the difference until they're having a seizure in their tent and their girlfriend calls 911.

Bromo-dragonFLY IS SOME NASTY rear end poo poo. When its sold as LSD.
Its active at such low doses that it a street dose can easily overdose you.
And rveryrhing that coulf be said about B-Fly could be doubled on NBOMES since those sre active at yhe microgram level. At least when you get a heroiv dose of LSD all you get is a day and a bit of being in another world.
These constrict you veins like a mofo.

Nbomes are to LSD as what Spice is to Weed.
Except the effects are much more...physical.

Destroying the follicle sounds like it could have some serious down sides:

I was reminded of this on Monday when I tried to buy Sudafed in Arkansas and was told they only sell it to people with an AR ID. So I suffered for a couple of days, and when I got back home to Texas this evening I stopped at my local Walgreens and picked some up, and as the pharmacy tech scanned my driver's license, I asked if one can buy it here with an out-of-state ID. She looked at me like I had three heads, and answered "Yes, of course?" When I explained why I asked, she was equally amazed. Same in Louisiana, I've bought it there before.

I guess AR just wants to keep the meth money in-state. (Clearly they have the technology -- I can scan my TX DL at the AR lottery vending machines and they'll sell me tickets.)

That's always been my thinking in playing a keno machine at a bar. $5 is cheap entertainment for a good long while if I'm playing nickel slots and the blinkenlights are fun to watch when you're drunk. Plus, some places comp you a drink or three if you're playing (and spending) enough. The chance of winning even part of my money back is kinda just icing on the cake.

Exactly. An hour or three of clicking around Robb Report or the Ferrari Configurator while dreaming about what I'd do with my life if I didn't have to work is more entertainment for dollar or two than I can get most other places. A ~2 hour movie on cheap nights costs $4, hell even a single boring standard domestic beer is usually more than that before you even get to the tip.

Buying more than one ticket for a drawing where the odds are in the hundreds of millions to one range is silly of course, but most of us easily waste more than a few bucks a week on things that provide less enjoyment.

A lottery ticket is a ticket into your own head.

When the Powerball gets about 300 million or so, I buy a couple of tickets and dream about buying a cheap, crappy NFL team like the Browns or Bills.

Phenazepam is a prescription drug used in Russia fairly effectively therapeutically. It's not that different from Valium but the effective dosage is in the sub milligrammes range and dumbfuck goons were scooping it up with their fingers. I've used RC benzos completely safely but you have to realize the active dose is smaller than a grain of salt.

Almost nobody would be doing insane synthetic cannabinoids if they could just smoke weed and get on with their life but instead you have stories of people smoking AM-2201 and having seizures so bad they thought their body has exploded and see their bloody pelvis laying in front of their face while they dislocate all their joints in temporary tetany.

Therapeutic does was about .5mg to 1mg, recreational dose was about 1mg to 5mg, blackout for days dose was about 4mg and up.

Exact amounts are going to vary based on tolerance and any other drugs taken recently, or Phenazepam within the past week.

All of those just look like slightly different amounts of powder on the end of a toothpick. Good luck!

Thankfully he gave me a lift. Wakup wednesday to an email that said if I wasn't in the hospital i was fired, and my fiances father called and said if I called her again he'd get a restraining order.

Now i find out that despite being in the hospital, I'm still fired. Learn from my lesson folks, you will loose the love of your life and despite being a week later have no idea why. Loose your job, and in a month or so your apartment. I have basically no where to go.
