Indeed they are. Our kid brought me back some 'Energy Drinks' from Thailand. They were the consistency of syrup, tasted like cough medicine, and had quite a kick.
I once had a surprise with Red Bull. I was delivering the mail (I'm a Postman) on a hot summer day when, desperate for a cool drink, I ducked in an Asian man's shop. He only had Red Bull in the cooler so I bought two. I remember quaffing them rapidly beneath the hot sunshine, before the world faded to white and I was temporarily non local. The next thing I was aware of was an elderly woman prodding me with her walking frame to try and rouse me. I have since treated such drinks with moderation.
Anyhoo, I don't usually post on the social threads much, but I am feeling rather sociable, haveing gobbled two 100mg doses of 6APB over this afternoon/evening. I have been firing off emails left, right and centre, perhaps foolishly convinced of the interestingness of my thoughts, while building a track on Cubase and smoking perhaps too much homegrown.
This APB, if you can get the real thing is really rather pleasant and benign. Very slightly trippy with a nice empathogenic profile. Maybe it will push aside the sometimes dubious Cathinone analogs into the background. M1 always seemed to never quite hit it's potential, rather like a jetplane with all the right streamlining, but in inadequate engine. It also left me rather drained. With 5/6 APB, I seem to be able to sleep soundly after a reasonable time, and it leaves me rational most of the time.
