This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

My buddy told me about how his dad found this energy supplement next to the dick pills at a gas station, said 'what the hell, why not' and it made him feel really weird and gross, which took him by total surprise, and he had to pull over to avoid causing an accident because he was driving.
It was kratom. They sell kratom as an energy supplement at gas stations next to the dick pills. With no warning of the addiction or withdrawal symptoms associated with it being similar to that of opioids. He'd never even heard of the stuff before. (Apparently it's been dubbed 'gas station heroin', so maybe I was one of that day's lucky 1000. I only knew of it being sold at a lot of smoke shops, but at least you know what you're buying there.)
Now, I admit, I didn't see the bottle myself. Maybe my buddy's dad is a dumbass (actually, no maybe about it, he certainly is from the stories I've heard), maybe the people that buy those supplements from dick pill stand or drink strange elixirs without thinking much about it don't deserve my sympathy, but in an ideal world that kind of warning would at the very least be really hard to miss before you take it and especially before you get behind the wheel of a car...
