When I lived in Phoenix, I usually had an extra job I would do for extra money. I even did a few drug experiments. It was not that crazy, the drugs I took were proven painkillers that a company wanted to make a generic version of. The testing was to prove that Brand X worked exactly as every other brand. For two weekends in a barracks setting, the pay was 400 dollars in the late 80s. If you could put up with the constant blood draws, it was a tolerable gig.
There was one painkiller I wish I could remember the name of. There was a blood draw just before you took the drug. At fifteen minute intervals for the first two hours blood draws were taken and I never felt any of them.
