Conned

Have you carried out a successful con? Perhaps you hustled a few quid off a stranger, or defrauded a multi-national company. Or have you been taken for the wide-eyed, naive rube that you are?

I'm not so sure whether you would call this a con or not
but I certainly felt like a dickhead after that is for sure.
Near the end of 2006 I had been hearing about these "Legal Highs", namely BZP products (were legal at the time, not anymore). Anyway, the description sounded pretty good, and I thought to myself, surely it's gotta be safer than getting E? I've taken E before and never had any real problems with it, well none that I will speak of anyway LOL!
So anyway, I ordered a bag of 3 tablets, something like £15, so actually more expensive than E, but what the heck, if it's safer and legal right?
So it arrived in a small popper bag stapled to a piece of cardboard. Looking back, I feel like such a fucking idiot, anything could have been in those and in fact I think *everything* was in them.
Worst experience of my life, watching the walls melt, things move around the room to name a few side effects, but also with massive splashings of auditory hallucinations and paranoia, all for a whole 36 hours!
Conned? I should fucking coco!
btw, not touched a single substance other than alcohol since.
