Mind, I'm just talking "legitimate" pharmaceutical dispensaries. Their entire reason for existing is to safely deal with things like this.
Street labs, by their nature, are unencumbered by the same systems and incentive structures that result in generally safe dispensaries.
Part of medical tourism is the risk taking inherent thereto. Part of being an FDA approved drug is regular audits and compliance of your supply chain, plus regular mandatory inventory QC, with enforceable consequences for failure to comply. It's expensive, but it means (generally) a high quality product with known behavior at the condumer end.
That goes out the door if you aren't regularly looking for failure states because your regulator takes a "hands off" or paper pusher approach.
I'm not saying failure can't happen in the U.S. it certsinly can. Just that there are relatively fewer sources where we don't have the capability to tighten down amongst law abiding dispensaries. Black Market sources are purely an at your own risk affair.
