No distance limit but you aren't allowed to stay overnight
Insane in a state you can drive across in a day. Leaving for Portland at midnight and also getting home from Portland at midnight is a rough day.
Just double drop the pre workout before you hop in the car for the trip home.
It was 6. I did 6 scoops of a preworkout called DB-9 that was only available for 11 days before it got banned, stayed awake for 40 hours fishing portland then could not stop crying as I was driving home.

Never, ever again.
Were you crying because of the preworkout or because you didn't catch anything?

It looks like im going to head out on Friday afternoon. The conditions look great and my mate is cleaning the city and knocks off fairly early, so im going to launch from Newport and pick him up at Station Pier. Gonna hit the squid and maybe troll for some Australian Salmon.

"state school students in prep and grades one, two, 11 and 12 will resume classroom learning on May 26. Grades three to 10 will return to school campuses on June 9. All specialist schools will fully reopen on May 26."

Might help for some people with kids to go out fishing.

Definently good news.

The state government definently copped it hard between Friday and yesterday with all these changes from their very recent harsher stances...

Good luck with the sambos mate!
I’m thinking about going out and doing that soon. Just got to pick a nice day when I’m free. Can’t wait 👍🏻

Bit better than the nose beers you reckon?

I'm pretty sure it was full of ice to be honest. I woudn't know.
Some of the ingredients listed on pre workouts sound like they've had a few stripped lithium batteries thrown into some hydrochloric acid
Sad thing is that most of them are just the technical names for common stuff to make their product sound super potent when it’s really just a bunch of supplements you can buy online for $10/kg.

For example when trying to find out what Doug took I found one listing’trimethylxanthine’ which is just caffeine.

I think it was probably DMAA that he had which I can confirm is a hell of a drug for lifting weights and was in a bunch of preworkouts, most famously Jack3d, before the TGA and ASADA went nope lol
