it is around here right?

isnt there somthing "speed" oriented in the cold remedies you get over the counter>

ive hear it mentioned that factory worlers will also use is as to help them work harder, longer, and just generally be more productive.

perhaps that ahy drinking happens everynice. the usy need to chill the hll down.

i m curious waht the legalities are. i do know it coec over...or at leat there a similar drug in s. africa called tik. and this isnt always a street druf. it is use in some partys of the worlds for adhd...or something. its fairly possible my cources are a bit scewed as this insomnia shit had had me up fro three days,

here i sil ranting about speed...when what i really need is a sedetive. bleh.

Hi, everybody! I'm Dr. Pete! You need septum mangled? Sedativisation? Tracheotomy? Cerebral semidemihemitone uberization? Lobotomy? Heart transplant? Cheap and affordable, money back guarantee! If you live. Placebos guaranteed.

Seriously though...you need some sleep son, your spelling's gone all fliggled and wonkitty-eyed since your last post.

That speedy crap they love, that's PURE EVIL, man. It'll chew out bits that don't never grow back...and it's illegal as hell, EVERYWHERE. Big issue in Thailand. I've never heard of it here, I'm glad to say.

As for legit meths, or, really, any other kind, I have neither interest in them nor knowledge of them. Unless it's maybe ephedra, an organic used in the creation of crystal meth; that may be still legal here. But whattaya want, a heart attack? That stuff's only good for professional athletes and old people with bum tickers.

Sedatives though? I lean towards insomniac myself, and unfortunately occasionally have need of the old OTC knock-out drops.
Here's what I know...
They're all antihistamines. Some work ok, others don't.
The best one is (sorry no hangeul on this keyboard) a chinese one, brand named 'solushin.' It's a hybrid of a whole bunch of different antihistamines and some other things I can't interpret from the original language, and it's totally legal. Costs about three bucks a box at your local chemist. Take two this morning, you'll probably wake up in between 8-12 hours, if you haven't slept in three days as you say.

Hope that helps man...I know, insomnia's a bummer. I'm working wonked hours this year, my whole sleeping 'pattern' is like a fekking rorschach blot...

I don't give a ____ about your post, other than to mention that Lebanon deserved what it got. Period. And it ought have been worse.
