The REAL hard stuff
I've never been big on drugs, I used to drink quiet heavily but this has died down since I realised I was spending 2 days wages on a night out I don't even remember. I have tried weed a few times, now I like the social aspect of passing a joint round, but I never feel anything from it. What I do feel the effect from is throat lozengers.

At the start of this year, I got a short stint working on the phones for BA lost baggage. Unfortunatly, I had a bad cough at the time, leaving my throat raw. This isn't ideal when your on the phone all day, so I grabbed some throat lozengers before leaving the house. Necking a few on the train, I was vaigly aware that I was going over the recomended dousage, but ignored it, after all, what's the worst that can happen?

Turns out the worst that can happen is a disjointed feeling, numb mouth and a mini freak out. I checked the pack and found them to be more then a year out of date. Texting a friend for advice, I was told to drink pleanty of water, which helped a bit. I now stick to the guidelines.
