<div dir="auto">Dave, I was expecting you to ask, "Have you ever tried it, Frank?" I would have said that I hadn't but that my daughter had. Unintentionally. She and her "boyfriend", Stevie Ray (eye roll), went to a party where Mollies were being used. Somebody spiked her drink with something. On the way home she started having convulsions so Stevie called 911. An ambulance showed up and so did the police. Daughter went to the hospital and was released feeling well. Stevie was taken to jail on an outstanding warrant. She's doing fine years later. <br><br><div data-smartmail="gmail_signature">---<br>Frank C.
