Watching a program about ice, a woman has the shakes because she has not had a hit. What causes that, it must be a nerve communication thing but what are the actual mechanisms whereby taking a drug means that you are shaky and need to drink with a straw without the drug.

No idea, Curve, but ‘the shakes’ probably saved me.

In my youth I used to go to many a party where drugs were rampant, and would certainly partake of a few choofs of the green, whilst normally giving my all to my favourite drug – alcohol.

Vividly remember waking up on a couch one morning and looking across at another bloke asleep in an arm chair. I was feeling a tad under the weather so lay there hoping my head wouldn’t explode. Needless to say there were also bodies taking up most of the available carpet :)

Bloke in chair woke up and was shaking like a leaf. Reached down and grabbed a toiletry bag besides the chair and wandered off to the bathroom. Came out about 5 minutes later and you could have put a brick on the back of his hand. I tracked down the parties host and inquired what that was all about. “Oh, he’s a smackhead” was the blithe reply.

I was 17 going on 18, and thought to myself, “fuck that shit”.

I can see targeted molecules in the future and we will really be in BTL scenarios. Following the Internet business model of cheap price but mass subscription I can see a real potential threat is a BTL like drug developed and distributed via the net or at least the manufacturing expertiese exported.

Could it be that alcohol depletes the bodies natural sugar levels?

and a few teaspoons of honey fixes the problem
