i was just thinking, when i was a student i did a mental health placement where there was this lady with a severe anxiety disorder treated with flunitrazepam. they had it in their s8 cupboard, but at the start of the day they'd get out her quota for the day (about 10 tablets), put them in a specimen cup and let her take them as she needed throughout the day. like, an old, forgetful lady, under the effect of sedatives, wandering around an unlocked mental health facility with a speci-cup of rohypnol. the staff even helpfully labelled the container for her!

is that not dodgy?

so now i'm wondering... what have you seen?

That's pretty bad. I haven't seen anything like that before.
