Honestly, it amazes me how frequently people forget that people can lie.

He stated he made up the superdrug on his loggiaonfire site a few years ago to fuck with people & send them on a wild goose chase. The specificly colored artificial drug at least, which he had claimed was the perfect synthesis vs the other colors or w/e

Even more specifically, recognizing when a public figure is just messing with the interviewer/audience seems to be a rare talent.

He wasn't totally certain exactly what he'd made, afaik; his neighbor troubles coincided with efforts to get a real chemist to assist him in identifying what he was producing and stabilizing his method.

I smoked alpha pvp in a transit home in Saint Petersburg with some Georgian immigrants thinking it was meth, It made me really really high, and I spent the whole next day crying. I suspect this is a pretty popular drug in Russia.

The most popular drug in Russia is still alcohol.

Nah. Half of all drugs sold on Hudra are mephedrone and alpha-pvp; even weed doesn't compare.

Don't do PHP, folks.
