I don't think people understand just how quickly the liver, kidneys, hormone levels, your whole body can be destroyed in the blink of an eye by bad drugs. I would say, I've seen more than a few HN contributors have a less than cautious attitude toward recreational drugs. Drugs, period, without proper knowledge and guidance can do irreparable harm to internal organs and should be treated with proper respect.
- ShabbosGoy 9y agoRecreational drugs are one thing, synthesizing compounds yourself is another. The risk profiles are completely different.
- randcraw 9y agoOn what do you base this (remarkable) claim? Synthesizing drugs to act on the brain is at least as dangerous as those for kidneys, liver, etc. More than a few amateur drug designers have pickled their synapses into broccoli.
- ShabbosGoy 9y agoI meant it the other way around; an amateur synthesizing compounds themselves is probably more risky. Then again, it depends on the substance. It's hard to mess up sodium oxybate, but it's way easier to mess up methamphetamine, for instance.
