A lot of things sold online can stop your heart.

Name a few. I want to be an informed person.

* Sibutramine (weight loss medication)

* Suldenafil or tadalafil (ED medication)

* SARMS (steroids in general)

* Caffeine powder (another game of guess the dosage)

If you buy psychoactive honey/drugs online, it is on you to find out what it is and what kind of dosage you should take.

I agree they don’t “deserve” to die, but someone comfortable with that level of risk management is quite hard to fully protect from themselves.

It's on you to figure out the dosage you can take, and it should be on the producer to label the dosage they're selling.
