Shitty stimulant, makes your body temperature go up and you get woobly and hot supposedly. Common in Asia. Vaguely similar to nicotine in it's mechanism as they're both acetylcholine agonists. It's very cancerous and gives you red spit and ruins your teeth.
yeah sounds pretty bad, cant you just eat ephedrine or drink coffee lol -

I remember agent Orange still being questioned of its authentity even up into the early 80s as far as it being the cause of cancer.
You know that it is rumored that Martin Sheen had did drugs with alcohol and that's real blood on his hands when he smashes the mirror in the hotel (Saigon?) He channeled his character and felt the need for a one take scene.. Then had a real Heart Attack and rushed for a triple bypass. He was in his 30s.
That movie was nuts behind the scenes, one guy was literally tripping on acid while driving the boat, bunch of other stuff.
It's Apocalypse Now -

3. my mother is actually from the US, her family emigrated around the same time and they met here in Australia
4. I didn't find Apocalypse Now all that interesting until I found out that Kurz was actually based on a real person - a CIA asset who lost his mind and decided he was a God-King, able to make tribes follow him by 'summoning weapons and supplies from the sky'.
5. I haven't seen that movie since I was too young to really know, will watch it again sometime.
6. if that's what they want, though there's no real north-south concensus
7. US media uses the Viet Cong as a bogeyman, but it was the PANV who did the majority of the heavy lifting. With then-modern Soviet AA weapons they were able to bring down almost 10,000 US aircraft, mostly helicopters but a solid number of jets and even a high-altitude bomber from memory. Also, US tactics (see agent orange, napalm, operation phoenix etc.) made even their supposed allies start to hate and distrust them. My father fought with the South, but not for any real political ideology.
8. If you've been there, it's still corrupt as fuck. The current system doesn't seem to benefit the average people, if any ever did. I remember going to a 'luxury' shopping centre that actually had armed guards to keep the locals out.
Thank you for taking the time to answer seriously. I imagine your heritage has helped shape your views on colonial conquests. I always thought Vietnam was a beautiful place. Why are they so different from Cambodians? -

2019-09-16 at 7:51 PM UTCI'm 31, I could easily pass for 21 or under still . Never done really hard drugs and very rarely drink. I do smoke weed though
Used to drink alot but stopped about 6 or 7 years ago. Friends of mine that still drink hard definitely have aged far worse than average. A good tip is to lay off the fucking booze all you alcoholics (grylls), shit ages you quickly. -

2019-09-16 at 10:26 PM UTCcigarettes are good conversational punctuation and smoking a cigarette while looking at your reflection in something is an objectively positive contemplative act but it really has ruined my fucking teeth and lungs, I'm down to 2 a night and I can't wait until I'm done again
