- ceejayoz 10y agoDrug users aren't measuring out micrograms from a vial of pure medication. It'll be in a solution or pill form.

It doesn't matter what form it reaches the end user in when every step of the production process has the potential for invisible lethal mistakes due to the slightest lapse of attention or proceedure- and that assumes the original dosage proceedure was designed correctly.
