haha. meth was also used by the japanese and was a readily available drug, in australia they called the tablets "black beauties". it was in the 90s, the australian TGA, the aust version of FDA, started pushing drug companies to contaminate pseudoephedrine tablets with water soluble polymers (PEG, macrogol, and others), and this started in part because of the drug research site The Hive and notably one user there called Placebo was an australian.
when i first encountered this scene back then (2003-2005) i thought it was the american FDA that was doing this plastic shit. nope. australia.
australian government is the most evil government in the world, in my opinion. they don't kill you like canadian euthanasia shit, or shooting your dog like americans, they just steadily grind you down, limit your ability to earn income, and force you basically into a UBI. people talk about UBI like it's something that isn't already happening, it's just branding for welfare state 2.0 with social credit scores.
and my school, in 1993, started up a social credit score system just as i was finishing highschool. an english teacher who hated me because i hated how retarded and simple and tedious his assignments were, often submitted late, used this system to basically isolate me and i got so fuckin mad i stopped paying attention in my advanced science classes. was doing Bs up to that point and by the end of the final year i failed everything, except IT, which i passed because i got 99% correct on the SQL test ahaha.
