Seems to me ingesting any chemical compound cooked up in an unknown/uncontrolled environment, whether that enviro is the design or manufacturing side of things makes you an active seeker of the Darwin Award.
What's irritating is the expense of public resources bailing people out of the pursuit of the Darwin Award. Of course the same could be said for smoking, consumption driven obesity, excessive alcohol intake, etc.
The comment here regarding personal accountability sums it. I suspect if the financial disincentive is high enough on any one of these topics, people will deselect participation in said activity. Otherwise society will (or should) deselect them as beneficiaries of resources, etc..harsh, but what other practical course of action is there?
- Nursie 12y agoHere's the thing - 'designer drugs' or 'research chemicals' or whatever you want to call them, they all come out of well equipped labs in China. It's not like Cletus is cooking them up in his kitchen with that low-grade crystal meth. They do have unknown harm profiles, for the most part, and they may well have been designed by someone who just liked to draw in an organic molecule drawing package, but the production conditions are likely to be pretty modern.
