How is everyone purchasing Retatrutide at this moment? It's still in phase 3 trials, and I keep hearing of people being on it. Not really seeing safe options with proper lab testing. Other pharmaceuticals at the phase 3 stage (such as Buntanetap for Parkinson's disease) are super difficult to get, even with the right to try exemption in the US.

Yeah, I hear everyone talk about it like it’s just super easy to get…

And sadly, as with most GLP-1s they likely will need to take them for the rest of their life or suffer some incredible rebound weight loss/ negative health effects. These medications are incredible if you are overweight and need them. But they are not a panacea. Also arguably buying these drugs from Chinese dealers means there is no recourse if you get a bad batch. There is a pseudo testing setup around Finnrick but talk to anyone with a PhD in biochemistry and there are numerous ways these molecules can be improperly manufactured. Surprised to see so many on HN being relatively careless with their heath

  I don’t think anything you’re saying is outright false but the way you describe cessation as having an incredible rebound effect shows that you haven’t done very much research, that you’re negatively polarized, and that you’re trying to put spin on it

    Lots of people enjoyed, sometimes quietly, feeling superior to people not predisposed to self control. Now that you can get a weekly shot of it, they desperately search for something new to feel quietly smug about. "Well you'll have to take it the rest of your life!" Yeah, ok, good! I hope it stays available the rest of my life.
