- crxgames 3y agoBitch all you want, but the legalization process costs money. It has to be made back somehow. I've been donating to MAPS monthly for years. Those FDA trials were not cheap to run.
- sowbug 3y agoWhat percentage of the massive expense in following that process would you say is regulatory capture?
- markdown 3y agoFortunately. We can see in real time with kratom what happens when drugs are allowed to be sold recreationally without FDA approval, and it's not good at all.
- pjc50 3y agoMDMA was literally invented and initally marketed by Merck.
- Ingaz 3y agoBut for another purpose: it was intended to stop bleeding. It was manufactured in form of pencil. Psychoactive properties were discovered later
- michaelcampbell 3y ago> It was manufactured in form of pencil. Can you expand on this? I'm not sure what it means.
- Ingaz 3y agoIt was meant as first aid for treating scratches and similar not serious traumas. It makes blood curdle faster. So instead of applying plaster you just press pencil along scratch and bleeding stops
- michaelcampbell 3y agoYup, got it. I actually have that in a block form like a small bar of soap for shaving cuts.
- Order 3y agoSimilar to a styptic pencil - you may have seen used in boxing corners. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antihemorrhagic#Styptics https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antihemorrhagic#Styptics
- michaelcampbell 3y agoAh, of course. I have a block of that stuff.
