The euphoria I felt was most definitely not from doing something "so radical." It was an intense, genuine euphoria comparable to ecstasy and morphine.
If the FDA knew this, I bet they would take it off the market and make it as illegal as heroin. A drug that produces intense euphoria for a whole day is unheard of, but I swear on my mother, that's what it does.
