I remember one time facing a 7 hour drive late at night and bought a pack of trucker speed. Yellowjackets or something. I took one, waited a half hour, was still tired, so I took another one and...holy poo poo. Even by the time I got home at like 5am, I was unable to sleep and felt disgusting. Wound up calling out sick from work even though I wasn't scheduled to start my shift until 3pm. It was miserable.

I did that at a lame off campus party and suddenly all the partying felt like incredibly annoying and slow paced. I couldn't drink enough to stop fidgeting and the drunks doing keg stands and playing beer pong were infuriating. Went home to try to sleep and boy that was a fun 12 hours of tossing and turning and hating life. Gas station speed pills like yellowjackets are the WORST.

Those Bang energy drinks have 300mg of caffeine in them, so the Panera stuff is basically that plus sugar.

Back when I worked at a gas station I'd occasionally have to tell parents "hey just so you know this is like twice as strong as a Monster and has a 18+ marker on the label" when their kid came running up to the register with a can, which usually had a "I've been buying you WHAT?!" reaction from the parent.

Things you need to card for at a gas station now: CBD drinks, Kratom, Vaaaaaape pens, questionable glassware from behind the counter, LIGHTERS torch and otherwise.

That caused a hilarious internet conspiracy theory around the video of the woman having a mental breakdown on the plane and screaming about how someone on the plane was not a "real person" when people dug up her socials and discovered she had a distinctive tattoo on her arm which wasn't visible in the photos. The guvmint switched her!! She's a doppleganger!!! Turns out the video was reversed and the tattoo was clearly visible on her other arm.

Because it's not for you its for the author. The author is going to look at it before uploading and some are going to have an existential crisis seeing themselves differently from a mirror.

It makes sense to have the "mirror" effect when I'm taking a picture that way; I have trouble controlling it when the horizontal axis does something different than what I expect it to. But I always flip it once the photo's taken because it looks weird to me otherwise. But I also have asymmetrical piercings on my face, it looks weird when it's suddenly on the other side.

Baking soda is used to turn cocaine hcl (powder) into freebase cocaine (crack)

The fake roses or horoscopes in glass tubes are just a fig leaf for selling the glass tubes themselves. Those are used to smoke crack.

The chore boy steel wool is used in the glass tube as a makeshift filter to keep the burning crack rock from ending up in your lungs.

The shoe laces are used to tie off before injecting needle drugs.

What is Kratom? I see signs saying "we sell Kratom" but I have no idea either what it does or what it's supposed to do.

Remember when you could buy loving Salvia without an ID? How many teenagers experienced ego death because of that?

It's s'posed to help with uh benzos as well but that's not how it moves for the most part.

There's a drugs subforum in this website with horror stories about it. It does not work quite as advertised and can be quite discomfiting.

In low doses it's probably nice I guess but no one does low doses forever.

Kratom for me was the spins of smoking weed while very drunk, combined with the strong dissociation of salvia and the sluggish queasiness of codeine

My neighbor's dog got blasted in the morning when he let her out to use the bathroom and ran through the garage and then the house and finally the bedroom trying to deathroll the smell off onto his furniture the whole way.

He ended up having to rent a dumpster.

Couple years back I met some friends in Vegas. I forget why exactly but I was trying to keep myself awake during travel and time things so I would be sleepy just as we hit our first night there. Cue me eyeballing 5 Hour Energy plus some kind of actual pill-form wakeup drug and still feeling pretty tired and sleepy until our first night. I can still remember laying in bed, completely awake and not one bit sleepy :argh:

When I was in highschool we lived near a pretty busy highway that went straight through town , so there were gas stations every couple blocks. If we wanted beer we'd just try them and if we got carded we'd say we left it in the car then drive three blocks and try again. Usually didn't take more than three or four attempts before we got to someone who just didn't give a poo poo and wouldn't card.

I was the lamest teen, I never even tried to buy anything I wasn’t supposed to. Literally the most rebellious thing I did was skipping the last class of the day a couple times.

It wasn’t even a class that was important.

Keep in mind that the drinking age in America is 21, which is totally ridiculous.

I wasn't that industrious about hunting down alcohol when I was 18, but I sure would have been if it were still illegal when I was twenty

I have a friend here in Washington that took his mom’s car when he was 18 and him and his friends went up to Canada to drink. He got caught cause at some point I think they ran a red light and the ticket got sent back to his house weeks later.
