I knew of its addictiveness from friends experience and so didn't touch for 12m + after first blast. But the company I kept - fear of missing out - I got into it, thought it was great as it cured hangovers instantly I could eat on it I was sleeping at weekends and not up all night on E's Coke etc I was spending less on drink and in early days spending way less on drugs - $150 on smack twice a week when a g of coke is $300 and an E $25 meant I thought it i was being smart. We called it the cure all, at the start, never thinking we'd end up where we did,
