Diloadid for some reason you sound like a brit, talking about missing out on the mephedrone craze and it being illegal now and stuff and some other things that you have said but your location say Kentucky(KFC??)
I think that a lot of people ignored the whole cathinone culture because of the inherent dangers with ingesting 'brand new' chemicals with absolutely no history at all, all to go on for health is anecodatol information and pharmacological speculation.
I went full on into the RC scene, I think that I am a child of the RC scene, although I am 26 now, I have never really been comfortable buying drugs on the street, it's all about the internet and underground backdoor scenes and shit, not at first though, back before Operation Ismene I ordered 2C-I and 5-MeO-DMT from one of the big sites that was taken down during that op and I actually got a visit here in the UK from a British representive of the FBI because my CC details were in their database, I was lucky to escape with just a telling off for being an ignorant young naughty boy 8) lol
Since then though I have always been interested in RCs, I have had some horror stories and some amazing times, I guess that is what you get for becoming a voluntary research guinea pig for these drugs.
I wouldn't take anything back though, it's all been a learning experience, ok, maybe becoming a UK vendor back when mephedrone was legal was not the best idea considering my addictive personality, the vending only lasted 2 months before I was taking too much of my supply to function and continue the business.(See the Mephedrone Addiction thread in EADD, that was started when we realised that we couldn't be a vendor of legal highs without succombing to temptation.
The RC train is where I obtain most of my chems still though, with ethylphenidate and etizolam being the latest two that I have gotten into, I think that I am happy to try out these drugs and post about them for others. some may say it's brave, some may say that it's idiotic.
