    ** takes pill **

    THREE HOURS LATER…

    Wake up. We’re here. Why are you shaking? Are you ok? Wake up. Stand up. There you go. You were dreaming. What’s your name?

    Well, not even last night’s storm could wake you. I’ve heard them saying we’ve reached Morrowind; I’m sure they’ll let us go!

    Quiet. Here comes the nurse.

    I had to read on these. Apparently they are unregulated pharmaceuticals sold as dietary supplements, because for some reason labelling things as supplements makes them out of scope for safety regulators?

    And now they are game branded.

        Huh? Could you elaborate on the no-mix part? I thought they were essentially the same thing (sidenafil and tadalafil), well, not exactly the same, but causing the exact same effect to the body, just with different release timeframes (~day vs ~few hours). It’s not like bleach+vinegar thing? All the info I could find on dangers of mixing the two boils down to what is effectively an overdose, which you can achieve with either single one of them, by just chugging the whole pack at once.

        which shouldn’t ever be taken together

        If I had to guess, I’d say that the likelihood of there being any of the active ingredient of either in the capsules is as close to zero as makes no difference, and, if there is any, it’s in doses so low that it would make even a homeopath blush, regardless of what it might say on the packaging.

      Same applies to “well being crystals” they’re very careful in not saying they’ll heal you.

          Nope, being labelled a supplement not only lets you bypass approvals, but the FDA legally can’t inspect or investigate your product until after people start getting sick.

          All 50 states.

      Oh yeah I have a while spiel for patients about FDA regulated “food” vs Drugs. For instance the melatonin tablets are the only ones in the pyxis (that I’m aware of) with no imprint because according to the FDA, they’re food! Doesn’t necessarily make one pill safer than the other but you need to know what you’re getting into.

    :: takes pill ::

    5 minutes after it kicks in

    Me: What a fool you are. I’m a god. How can you kill a god? What a grand and intoxicating innocence. How could you be so naive? There is no escape. No Recall or Intervention can work in this place. Come. Lay down your weapons. It is not too late for my mercy."

    Cops: WTF is this dude on?!

      I just hear the synth driving the words. Dagothwave would be up there with Cbat for using these pills.
