Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Hydrogen Peroxide

I remember when I was a teenager folks were shooting-up peanut butter,
smoking bananas, and snorting animal tranquilizer when they could not get
the real mother nature.  Of course that was before getting a rush through
personal submersibles.

They turned pale too, but the reason seemed to be that they thought I was
looking to buy Peroxide (which I wasn't, which was obvious, so they were
just stupid and not listening, but anyway...) -- and they had stopped
selling it to anyone without some kind of credentials or authorization,
because of a big flap about people who were drinking it and getting it
injected into their bloodstreams as a health fad. Really.
