The amount of compium I see in people is scary. This was the warning. Next time could be so much worse and all I see are adults who just act like children. *EDIT Had to add so many people I use to even respect. Once they were told to many times what to do had adult temper tantrums. Acting straight out weird.
Alex would not do it. Unless he can still sell you his Big Brain Vitamins and Deep Earth Crystals. With China cutting off exchanges I doubt he would go.
