all kinds of stupid shit available to morons through those sites.... *sigh*
might as well smoke some crack
I knew a guy through my one gym back around 2005. I hadn't seen him for a long time, when someone randomly mentioned him in conversation. Apparently, he was taking some kind of tanning "pills." Now, you know how the details of stories are relayed by word of mouth from one person to the next; maybe it was pills and maybe it wasn't. I don't know if he was using this Melanotan shit or if it was something else.
Anyway, the reason nobody had seen him for a while is he was in the hospital with life-threatening kidney problems! Somebody else chimed in that he'd been drinking alcohol while taking the stuff, attributing that to his condition. Again, I don't know how accurate any of this is.
I ran into the guy at my current gym about 7 months ago. He looks good - perfectly healthy and doing full workouts. I'm going to ask him about what exactly happened next time I see him.
