I have been taking BD now for close to a year, and i have seen some terrible side effects of it. They said that it's not addictive. Right!

We were taking it on the weekends, then it moved into the weeknights to go to sleep, then earlier in the evening for recreational activities, then we knew that we were in a serious downward spiral.

We (roomates and me) are slowly weaning ourselves off the stuff, slowly, but getting off it by the end of the month, if at all possible. Right now, I'm having heart racing, sweaty palms, jitters, shakes, and dizzy feeling once in a while.

If you're going to use 1.4, PLEASE only use it on Sat night, and use caution. We initially started with 1/4 tsp for dosage, and have gotten up to 1 tsp for a dose. Not good. The tolerance has built up pretty quickly. Occcassionally, we'd have one pass out or become disoriented, angry, and not know who/where they were. It happened to all 3 of us.

So, here's some friendly advise. Be very careful with this mess. It's got a powerful addictive force built into it that can ruin your life, your lifestyle, and everything else about you.

Peace!
