Fuuuuuun. I’ve always wanted a collection of drugs. That scene in Fear & Loathing always had me jealous.

I applaud her responsible labeling and commitment to diversity!

Is this one of those Macedonian websites that completely fabricates stories for pageviews?

They have this story as well: https://inshort.geartape.com/man-becomes-10-years-younger-after-93-days-at-bottom-of-the-atlantic/

Have you spent 93 days at the bottom of the Atlantic? It is life changing

We should all do this once every ten years. Live forever.

Almost like some sort of fountain of youth

Yes, chronic sleep deprivation from your Chief yelling at you is often life changing, but at least you get to hug a torpedo

It's the hydration that makes all the difference. I think.

I had a band in the 90s named after a guy we called punker Mike. He always came to our practices with a bag of various drugs. He called it his trailmix. We named that band, Mike's Trailmix.

Good times. I think. Can't really remember.

That’s how you can tell they were.

I mean... even without drugs, "time flies when you're having fun" is an expression for a reason.

Does she keep her money in a big bag with a dollar sign on it?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Don't do that or you have to pay Gene Simmons and no that isn't a joke, he copyrighted the cartoon bag of money.

Man I hate when I lose my bag of drugs in my pile of random drugless bags.

This life pro tip is going to save me so much time to do more drugs!

Part of me respects her being responsible

A lot of drug users have poor organizational skills. Maybe this one is self medicating for ocd?
