    I would understand it if it said “it’s not safe but doing X and Y lowers the risk” but he is basically saying that it IS safe if you do X and Y, and that’s simply a whole world of difference.

      I mean, barring the canister falling on your head, external factors like a plane crashing into your house, and maybe extremely rare genetic abnormalities, you will be safe if you follow those instructions to the letter and are already in good health. It’s pharmacology and common sense, not magic. If it still freaks you out, that’s fine - you don’t need to shit on someone else’s thing though, just keep yourself away from it if you already know it’s not for you.

        Safe as in as safe as how people used to say weed was, that it was basically inocuous, that you couldn’t become addicted, yadayada until science came with evidence that yes, you can become addicted and that it also causes cognitive damage long term?

        I just see again this same story of a magical drug that supposedly is totally safe if you ask people who consume it yet there are lots and lot of cases of people who caused themselves brain damage with this, suuure maybe they weren’t doing your special formula, but how are you really sure about it lol.

        people who say it’s safe are no doctors, actually doctors I can find on the internet say it’s by far a terrible idea, they are users who may have an incentive to tell themselves it’s ok.
