Bruce,

Thanks for the explanation.

What I purchased was a quality product from a well-known company, at
a really good health food store (The Food Mill in Oakland, CA).
Maybe what I experienced was a one-time response to a new substance?

By the way, I have never used dope, but if this is what dope does to
you, then I am all for it!!! ;-)
