good

I've got a good "well, actually" here, not relevant to the revive sorry, the bioavailability of oxy is lower when taken nasally than when taken orally. adam from 17 years ago is a dumbass

ILX was a real trip in 2002 huh

IIRC only nerds read the Internet in 2002 so you could say whatever you wanted

Holds hand up.

By 2002 I'd been reading and writing stuff on the internet for about five years, making me ultra-nerdy.

2002 was the year where it was inconceivable to use drugs in any way other than snorting, I guess

I remember telling my dad in the mid 90s that for xmas I wanted "the world wide web."

It's too bad ILX requires a login, we're missing out on some quality drop-ins.

xp In 2002 I unfortunately knew a lot of people whose preferred method of drug ingestion was smoking (meth).

*hipster voice* I started using email and hanging out on IRC in 1993.

reading American Overdose at present and it's a tough read. Not just having known a couple people back home who have dealt with the fallout from OxyContin addiction, not just the awareness of the cost of it across the country, but the brazen "fake news"-ish attitude of Purdue and even some of the FDA.

sorry, a bit personal . raw nerve . i am calm
