Rupinal (propofol) is an anesthetic used in surgical procedures. It is usually administered by an anesthetist inside the operation room (!!).
It causes loss of consciousness a few seconds after it is injected. The consciousness is regained as soon as the infusion is interrupted.

The translation of the interview is wrong, trust me.
I'm brazilian, sieger speaks the truth.

Propofol is a drug restricted to hospitals, and must be administered by an anesthesiologist. The patient has to be monitored all along.
I thought he was talking about Rhopinal, I've taken this stuff. WOW. It's..........different.

Yes, and about 30% of the other words were poorly translated as well. It was obviously a native Portugese translator using an english language dictionary to create the subtitles.

The more I read, the sadder FIlho's situation becomes... Talent squandered.

I really hope he gets it together.

Would you also say that Phenibut is as bad as any of these when taken as an alternative?
