I heard the altitude thing but also heard it wasnt true... still, a good benzo is a *TOOL* in SO, SO, SO many applications... long travel - be it bus, plane, car...
sideStory - Several times I have scammed airline tickets to various places for no reason other then because I could - most recently it was Vegas - a 2.5 hour flight ... the players in this game were Josh (very cool phreak in 407, one ofthe best), Pinky (ultra suave spanish dude I met at a 12 hour court-ordered driving school, we did heroin) and myself ... so, of course we figure that since we are getting on a plane, benzos are in order - not a "moderate amount" because thats not Pinky's style, who was the source for none other then 2mg Rohypnol ... here is the thing, we all assumed that, for some unknown reason, we needed to take a solid 8mg each ... we each proceed to take 8mg...
Well, given that we fly in class, we also felt it nessacary to get to the airport 2 hours early in order to hang in the first class lounge drinking mixed drinks... one of the waitresses was cute so Josh made it a point to flirt with her, he mentioned we were going to Vegas and being the master social engineer, he came up with some huge story about us being professional gamblers.. the roofies start to kick in, and the waitress, an obvious party girl, makes a point to mention we look "relaxed" ... Josh gave her a blister packed tab which she is impressed by, and of course makes a note to tell her "we each took like 5 of these fuckers, because weparty like that" ..
To make a long story short, that waitress had to actually guide us to the gate to get on the plane.. we were all so fucked up... at first we miss the boarding call, but she remembers and tells us... eventually she had pitty when she saw we couldnt figure out what to do...
Very foolish, learn from that mistake...
