      I did one, it wasnt bad at all. Make sure you bring a labtop, and a gaming system if you have one. There was some cool people in mine so it wasnt so bad, but then a few weeks later i saw one of the guys that was in it on the news for molesting some little girl, so be careful i guess. Its definitly worth your time if you dont have anything else going on.

                1500 for 2 weekend stays....that you probably check in 2-3 on friday and 8 on sunday cuz thats what they usually do...

                so ur there a total of about 90 hours with return draws and such......so i guess ur making over 10 prolly more like 15 or a little more....

                  84 hours total + 12 return draws (assume half hour a piece with driving time). 16.66/hour Not to shabby for an easy payment on student loans. Plus free food and I wont be spending money on the weekends. So not really 25 an hour....but still worth it.

                    If i remember right if you only do one study you don't have to pay any taxes. Ive thought of doing one but the needles scare me. I don't mind them so much but don't think i could handle getting poked 50 times in one weekend.

                      yeah saving money in one weekend is the big thing...isnt hard to spend $100-$200 in a bar in one weekend....or whatever else you could do in a weekend.

                        I did one a long while back. It was long and drawn out, but I got 4 g's for doing it.

                        Had to go back every morning for like a month or so for blood samples, and was stuck there 3 or 4 times for a few nights each. Not bad money for sitting on your ass doing absolutly nothing. But yes, the tiny little meals to suck balls.

                          With medical studies this year I have made 9 grand and am starting another big study on the 29th for 4 grand... not bad for just sitting around doing nothing... 13 g's within 4 months... and yes the taxes kinda kill you but you can write some stuff off as business expense since you are self employeed like gas and food... so when i did my study in the cities i can write off my 5000 miles worth of gas on taxes 🙂 and all my food...

                                from what i hear the viagra studies are kinda akward since you have to sit in a room full of guys with boners for like 4 hours... and they usually have the next room full of girls with the female equivalent of viagra...

                                    do you only have to be 18 to do these studies?

                                          Best one I ever did was a sleeping pill study. Only was awake to eat, go to the bathroom, and about 2 hours on the second day to watch a movie. When I got out on monday morning I felt like a million bucks.

                                          Worst one I had was one that we took something that messed with our immunity a bit. Damn zit on my face turned into a fuggin' basketball and I had to get some antibiotics.

                                          Pretty easy stuff though for the money if you got the time. And you're a cheap drunk afterwards.

                                          One time...
