"I tried cocaine, heroin, speed, trips - I tried everything," says 23 year old designer John Smith*", shaking his head. "It was stupid. The way I see it, if I was allergic to one of them I could have died, that's how stupid it was. So by the time I was 15, 16 I grew out of it. And around that time, through design sites, I got into Rinzen, and then RMX, and I found about the process and the concept. At school I had learning difficulties and I didn't do all that well, so I suppose RMX is the most positive thing I've ever done in my life."
Jane Doe*, a world-famous designer who wants to remain anonymous, agrees. "I went to boarding school and there was a lot of peer pressure there. I'd drink just because it was against the rules. But after I heard more about RMX, I thought about who I was and I didn't like any of it. I just thought, what am I doing? What is this? I really don't need it."
