Viagra-laced 'erectile honey' is flooding into France, officials warn
- stackedinserter 2y agoWhy is it bad? Look at fertility rates, at this point viagra should be added to tap water like fluoride.
- haunter 2y agoViagra isn’t a sexual stimulant, it won’t make you horny

- UncleOxidant 2y agoNor will it help if infertility is the problem.
- ziml77 2y agoFertility rate is an incredibly misleading name. The rate is referencing the number of children people are having, not their physical ability to have them.
- johnnyanmac 2y agoIn a way that a boner doesn't always make you horny, I suppose so. But there's various natural and social pressure to rid of one. (I don't necessarily support this, but I can only imagine this recall create a short term black market).

- giardini 2y agoDoes it make a difference whether the girl is ugly or pretty?
- merksoftworks 2y agopde5 inhibitors have some dangerous interactions other medications. They also give some people headaches, up to and including migraines. I agree, they will probably end up in some techies nootropic stacks in the near future, I would use them for that. But they can cause blood pressure issues.
- Modified3019 2y agoAlready is, see: https://old.reddit.com/r/Nootropics/search?q=Cialis&restrict_sr=on&include_over_18=on https://old.reddit.com/r/Nootropics/search?q=Cialis&restrict... Partial doses of cialis use is also a thing in the bodybuilding world For those curious, be mindful that an all too common side effect of pde5 inhibitors like cialis is eventual tinnitus (even at low doses), which is not worth whatever you are hoping gain.
- lm28469 2y agoIf you think the fertility rate is low because people can't get hard I have bad news for you
- ein0p 2y agoBecause it has other side effects, ones it was initially designed for: vasodilation. It can, therefore, drop your blood pressure to an unsafe level if you take too much, which can be deadly.
- BobaFloutist 2y agoMaybe they should add social skills to tap water instead.
- potato3732842 2y agoGimme a f-ing break. It's way better for everyone if sketchy gas station boner pills and like products have traces real medications in them vs whatever unregulated and questionably sourced synthetic drugs and supplements they have before.
- jrflowers 2y agoEat some of the boner honey and post a trip report if you are such a fan of these products
- Dylan16807 2y agoAccurate labeling is way way way better.
- bloppe 2y agoI know someone who ended up in the hospital for taking a normal dose of Viagra to counteract coke dick. Turns out that's very dangerous. I'd be pretty bummed if I wanted a "natural alternative" for this very reason but ended up with cardiac arrest
- joecool1029 2y agoYea I'm thinking the viagra wasn't the cause here, maybe don't do cocaine if you care about cardiac health.
- Teever 2y agoYou don't think that the use of a prescription medication that has an effect on blood flow could have unexpected interactions with illicit substances like cocaine and whatever else it was cut with? Why are people so dismissive of the potential side-effects of a drug like viagra?
- rscho 2y agoViagra absolutely participates. Cocaine causes intense arterial constriction, which impedes blood ejection from the heart. Viagra causes intense venous dilation, which reduces the amount of blood returning to the heart. This combination is very well-known and pretty lethal. Such cases are seen regularly in the ER. A colleague of mine died of it too.
- mrlonglong 2y agoWell if they will smoke and drink, they definitely need all the help they can get.
- mrlonglong 2y agoOh come on, what's a gentle ribbing between the UK and our French counterparts?
- xutopia 2y agoI once took some "natural and organic sleeping ingredients" and there was a recall due to it containing a highly potent and dangerous prescription only ingredient. It seems the only times that all natural medication works it's laced with allopathic medicine.
- krisoft 2y ago> It seems the only times that all natural medication works it's laced with allopathic medicine. I don’t think that follows from two anecdotes. There is plenty of natural remedies which have an effect. Just thinking of the simplest, least controversial one: packing citrus fruits for a long voyage does indeed prevent scurvy.
- zapkyeskrill 2y agoWouldn't you need to consume it at some point? Doubt just packing it has the desired effect.
- krisoft 2y agoYou are right.
- Dilettante_ 2y agoPlacebo effect

- Aurornis 2y ago> It seems the only times that all natural medication works it's laced with allopathic medicine There are a surprising number of herbs that do something within the body. However, that something is usually mild and mixed in with a large number of other effects. Supplement companies now play games where they try to extract, isolate, and condense the natural product into those active chemicals with various degrees of success, but even the extracts don’t escape the problems of off-target effects and liver or kidney load. I was surprised to hear from a doctor about how often they see patients who choose traditional Chinese medicine or other herbalist practices and end up with elevated liver markers or signs of kidney trouble. The supplement world is also embracing a lot of gray market medications now. You can buy “supplements” that are actually just experimental drugs that haven’t been fully researched yet, but some enterprising person had a lab in China synthesized it and now sells it on their website. For a while, supplement vendors were even synthesizing commercial drugs and then just selling them as powders, amazingly. You could go buy little jars of drugs like Memantine (a prescription medication) from supplement vendors. The current mod team of /r/Nootropics on Reddit also runs one of the popular supplement vendors on Reddit (surprise) and they were recently hit for breaking some laws around labeling their supplements, which is a slap on the wrist relative to their past history of selling full pharmaceuticals, addictive substances like phenibut, and opioid medications like Tianeptine as “supplements” Of course, they cracked down on any threads discussing their legal troubles on Reddit and they’ve replaced it with stories about how they’re actually the victims, with a lot of bans being handed out on /r/Nootropics for people who disagreed. It’s wild to witness how the supplement industry works and how effectively they’ve captured online discussion in their favor.
- Cumpiler69 2y agoThere is nothing more French than this, except maybe Viagra laced cigarettes.
- senectus1 2y agoPPC's? :-P
- Cumpiler69 2y agoWhat's that?
- senectus1 2y agoyeah sorry. bad joke and referance to C's (Cigarettes) being laced... years ago there was an issue with PCP laced Cigarettes... my fried brain made a connection with that and Viagra laces cigarettes... PP C's just ignore me. it was a bad joke with a weak link.
- Dilettante_ 2y ago"Oh no! Where?"
- mattbrewsbytes 2y agoHow is this anything remotely "hacker news"? Someone "hacked" honey?
- Dilettante_ 2y agoThe boner honey industry is being disrupted
- kotaKat 2y agoWaiting for Hims to come up with some sketchy compounded formulation now.
- gofastercloud 2y agoI thought I was in r/BrandNewSentence
- beeflet 2y agoits kinda funny I think

- fxtentacle 2y agoIt's not flooding into France by itself, people are buying it on the black market. Which suggests that this product alleviates a customer pain point ;) which apparently the government could not solve the official way.
- rscho 2y agoWell, of course people would like OTC meds for erectile dysfunction. Unfortunately, Viagra and friends must be controlled due to dangerous side-effects. But most people won't ever understand that. They'll just say it's the bad docs wanting more money...
- fxtentacle 2y agoI would assume that those side-effects aren't quite as bad, or else why are Denmark and the UK allowing sales without any prescription or doctor's visit? Someone from France could legally drive up to Denmark, buy the stuff, and drive back home. (about 9 hours per direction)
- rscho 2y agoWell, it's a fact that you're at high risk of a problem with those meds if you have a cardiac, renal or neurologic medical problem. Now, personally and as a doc myself I'm perfectly open to people taking whatever they like if they're aware of the risks they take. I didn't know Viagra was OTC in some countries, but if accompanied by proper warnings, I'm ok with that. And some states are too, it seems. I'm not an expert in the matter, so it's possible I overestimate the risk.
