That must assume the factory to be managed with integrity. Pharmaceuticals are usually held to a high standard. Chemistry in general is done best in larger batches with tightly controlled processes. But that also doesn't mean a skilled chemist can't make a perfectly fine batch with a good setup.

4Thieves is good stuff though. Consider their epipen. They cut the cost by a factor of something like 1/30th of market. They still sourced the epinephrine from a commercial company tho.

YOU are telling ME (a very smart person btw) what to do 😡

-consumes a whole bottle of chlorine bleach in protest of the implication of being told what to do-

i actually just learned that today... i am realizing i misunderstood the main purpose (probably) of the group. they are very focused on bodily autonamy, and pushing the boundaries of what's allowed, as far as information sharing goes.

the lead guy also was suggesting heroin dealers lace their product with medication to prevent the spread of hepatitis, which sounds good, but doing so could result in an even more deadly super strain of the infection. he could have suggested wholly against sharing injection equipment, or emphasized the importance of "safe injection" sites that are staffed by medical personel, to help titrate the dose and safely end their addiction. at least he's not telling people to synthesize suboxone at home, but ugh.

i don't necissarily trust the information the they're spreading, due to that and other factors, such as the lack of medical/synthesis knowledge outside of clandestine MDMA production. i do see that they do this more as "keep this stuff legal" measure, but a lot of their decisions seem reckless. maybe to further their cause/point? idk, it's a mess.

yeah but key issue is - they don't make it - they just take it from veterinary drugs. prostaglandins and steroids in particular would be very bad fit for a backyard chemistry - these are greasy, so crystallization is out, every step requires column chromatography for purification, analysis would probably include HPLC/MS just to know what's there

These guys aren’t about alternative medicine, they’re about DIY manufacturing actual medicine to get around inflated prices.

Are you addressing the man or the worm?

🤡 <--- this is you, defending human rights online

i guess i will just have to wait for your implied "or else" to happen to me, since you're incapable of talking to people without making vaguely threatening demands the second you're offended, which i assume happens often.

in case i wasn't clear, this is also you:

[ 🤡 "Look at me! I solve problems that stopped happening before I was born by being an annoying, self-absorbed dumb-dumb that posts online!!" ]

i deeply care if you're offended by any/everything, and will notify all relevant parties, if you are. there are none, but if there were any, i'd let them know you're upset.

anyways, feel free to block me if you want, since honest discussion is beneath you, presumably. and dm me what your implied "or else" is, if you would like, just for funsies. i hope it was showing up at my place(s) of residence for irl harassment, because that would warm my heart. it would possibly give away the fact that i live in your walls tho, which would mean i have to move again... :<

the constituents' best interest unfortunately doesn't make the senate/congress any money. it would be nice if they had priorites outside making easy money by bending to every corporate lobby.

unrestricted access would be a nightmare. Mexico's strategy of allowing trained pharmacists to dispense basic meds (like a z-pac) seems like a happy medium. seeing a doctor for stuff like that can be expensive and time consuming, and like an excuse for insurance companies to profit.

I think the problem in this case isn't the regulation, but that the regulation's being managed by knobheads

this is definitely a take. have you ever heard of GMP? these rules were written in blood
