He said, no, you don't invent this.
This is real.
I said, how do you know?
And he said, I have a friend and I know this guy by now.
I met him.
He's an antique dealer in Berlin and he had bought an old medicine chest in an old Berlin apartment.
This was in 2010.
And he found pevitin tablets inside, which were the methamphetamine product that was marketed in Germany in the late 30s.
And this guy, the antique dealer took some tablets and they were quite old, you know, 70 years old, but they still had an effect on him.
And I later asked him and he said, well, we took them for about a month.
It was the greatest month we ever had.
Like we had so much fun.
We were so productive because that methamphetamine back then was also...
like a quality product.
It was not crystal meth made in a trailer lab.
So this is many decades later.
They were still potent.
Especially Alex convinced me because Alex has a high tolerance.
And he said, okay, they still had some.
So I said to him, can I have some also?
