> Alright, so you’re not into head games. Have you ever heard of syrup of ipepec? It’s used for poison control, it induces vomiting instantly guaranteed. I wonder if he takes a breath mint before that first smooch?

Syrup of Ipecac, and the vomiting isn’t instant, it takes about 15 min to a half an hour.

## Syrup of Ipecac, and the vomiting isn’t instant, it takes about 15 min to a half an hour.
