    Could you elaborate a bit?

    People make and take illicit drugs all the time. What’s the difference here?

      People make illicit drugs chock full of impurities all the time too, and it fucks people up.

      There are standards for purity on pharmaceuticals. Impurities have to be ridiculously low. Lower than you can measure in your garage.

      These dudes either don’t know you need to even measure purity or have decided that it’s inconvenient and are ignoring it.

        Or, and hear me out, they know what the risks are and have assessed that they are reasonable when the alternative is death? I do disagree with them asserting they are higher-quality though, or I would at least like to see incontrovertible proof of that.

          “Our recipes are consistent, like a good espresso maker.”

          “Okay cool, how do you know that?”

          “So many questions! We’re hackers! We are very smart.”

            Cool. Yep. You aren’t wrong mate.

            So I’m guessing you believe people should choose death instead, right? Or you’re going to pay for all these people’s medications?
