A chemical is a chemical. And people close to dying can be desperate.
- catalogia 6y ago> a chemical is a chemical Is it actually the chemical though? 'Blackmarket pet drug' is the perfect storm of poor accountability. Who the fuck knows what it actually is?
- whymauri 6y agoI mean, if there's an MSDS, verified structural information, etc, then anyone can know what it is.
- HarryHirsch 6y agoPeople have looked into drugs for erectile dysfunction that you buy over the Internet. They actually are when they claim to be on the tin and work as advertised. Well, if you rely on repeat customers and word of mouth that's the expected outcome. You'd expect the same for wealthy people with very sick cats.

- corty 6y agoOn the other hand, even reputable pharmacies have fallen victim to fake drugs. For a layman customer, it is hard to impossible to judge anything here. Most still go by the "reliable pharmacy", but there are intentional availability hurdles in the pharmacy system.
- catalogia 6y agoRisk isn't binary. There's certainly no such thing as "zero risk" for somebody buying pharmaceuticals, but I don't think it should be so controversial to say that buying blackmarket pet drugs is a riskier activity than going to a properly licensed pharmacist.
