It's a stimulant.
What, the rat poison?
Maybe but the guy was wrecked pretty much afterward and barely even finished. Could hardly walk for part of it.
I see, that's too much then. I mean it's primarily a poison but I think it's from the same family as nicotine, interestingly enough.
Right? I can’t even finish one.
