I’m a process chemist. I do this sort of thing for a living.

These guys don’t even know why what they’re suggesting is so dangerous. Do not do any of this.

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.

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?

Did you read the article, the part where the author’s close friend died from a treatable illness? What other alternatives do you suggest?
