Will give you all fair warning, this is likely to be one of the winners of the first #RoamGames challenge — which means if you build off it in an interesting way, you will win as well.
We’ll be issuing first 10k of awards for this in 2 days, but we may just keep issuing more.
If you’re literate in biology, and already do illegal drugs for fun, I DEFINITIVELY would encourage you to read this, and the cited paper, and consider trying yourself.
Too many people only break the rules their friends break.
