Yes, it was absolutely voluntary patriotism. It was not at all because the Russkies had decided to shoot on sight. Patriotism, comrades. Do not listen to the wreckers.

As for the post content, mephedrone has been huge in Russia for years and long before the war, despite having only been rediscovered 20 years ago by Israeli chemist “Dr Z” / “kinetic” with original procedure announced on Rhodium’s forum 20 years ago. That procedure is mostly unused these days as it is still easy and cheap to get the ketone precursor. Hardly some lower quality substitute which they are forced to tolerate, it is superior to cocaine in every respect and this at only 1% of the price – even a small and low-yield lab can produce it for under a dollar per “fun night”. It is only because meth is even cheaper and more potent and more readily available that mephedrone hasn’t yet caught on in the US. As for militaries giving soldiers amphetamines, that’s nothing new, both Allies and Axis did so in WWII, and “forced march” tablets of cocaine were rationed out prior to that.

Odd.
