Or, as with Thalidomide, the formulation pathway also happens to make a 'left-handed' version of a drug which turns works great, but the opposite chirality causes horrible birth defects (as in kids with brain damage or deformed hands & feet basically attached to shoulders and hips, and more). [0] And this was with production and testing by major pharm companies. I'd be all over home production or brew-kits for users or compounding pharmacists to save lives or quality of life. But damn, the more complex synthesis pathways have potential for insanely serious 'bugs', and the consequences aren't just a software crash, they can be life-altering or life-ending. With fully informed consent, still works for me. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thalidomide https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thalidomide
