We were young and yes, he did trust I wouldn't give him poison. I certainly didn't have a reputation of using illegal drugs, he knew I dabbled with supplements like Piracetam / Ashwagandha etc.

I've once given it to a friend without telling him what it was exactly and he sure did sleep through it, he said he didn't feel anything at all and he was up from the night before (was in vacation). Asked him how he felt afterward

It might seem to you but producers care about data and I do not find it hard to believe people prefer dubbing to subtitles. I believe most people prefer audio input to text because it requires far less of their attention. You would be surpr
