Wow, you guys made me feel much better.
I thought my reaction made me a weirdo. The day after my reaction, I called my friend Lansdon who had left me some messages that night wondering why I didn't answer my phone. I explained what happened and then said to him " You mean to tell me that people actually take that **** for FUN?!! They have to be insane!" I never heard him laugh so hard.
I'd have to have a limb hanging off before anyone could ever get me to ingest that **** again.
