Suppliers are not allowed to give vital information such as dosage, effects, side effects, ROA etc. It is the lack of this information which causes the majority of issues.
My own views exactly.
"The dose makes the poison" is a perfectly pertinent summary. Picomolar concentration acute exposure to Cyanide, Sarin, gaseous Sulphuric acid, MPPP+, 4-CA and countless others is unlikely to cause anywhere near the disastrous and easily fatal effects that such compounds retain infamy for.
Excessive consumption of even simple sterile water will kill you through pissing out the chemical keys to biological functioning.
The RC era was and is an absolute perfect storm with consequences far surpassing the consideration of even the most adventurous thinkers - less than 50 words given cyberspace permanence through a single Hive contribution in the first few years of the 21st century laid the foundations for the Mephedrone mass market. Shulgin's superb substances may have remained available under the radar long after legislation was filed and Schedules filled, but the Cathinone craze is what put the RC industry on the front pages rather than the periphery of public perception. The then obscure legal loophole of mass marketing a psychotropic substance with consumption specified as misuse and a wink-nudge pitch to the public being licit via the same means as peroxide cosmetics and biotoxic bleaches was exploited in inevitable capitalistic fashion, as publicised through redundant rhetoric and societal scare-mongering by the papers and mass media. The consequential cat and mouse chase fueled our journey down the rabbit hole of "research", economic necessity to the industrial few drove the synthesis of compounds that had existed only in the ether of pharmaceutical possibilities prior. The stubborn and undeniably simply stupid stance of "providing public information equates to promotion of use in the population" by the political parties was an undeniable contributing factor in every accidental overdose by those who could source the substance but not the information needed to make an informed decision. As the list of compounds grew to accommodate the laws prohibiting the predecessor the effects became even more unpredictable the need for adequate information grew even larger. With every misinformation shaped mishap, from the simply worrisome to the totally tragic, the fallacious conclusion of "all drugs are inherently dangerous and their use is the only thing responsible for deaths" became even easier for the uninformed to hold and promote without even a single doubt or innate curiosity leading to independent research.
We are but a biological computer system suspended in primate physiology, we share the instinctive desire to alter our perceptions with all higher organisms, we are driven by electrochemical impulses that release monoamines far more than we are by comprehension of social perception. We will always use drugs, no matter the consequence. It is not rational, it runs far deeper in our genome and unconscious than words can express.
Like goats scaling the all but vertical concrete faces of dams just to lap up the particularly salty water that pokes their physiological pleasure buttons, humans will always use psychoactive substances that induce simple chemical reactions interpreted as pleasurable or interestingly novel even if such use obliterates everything we are but the squishy organic matter in our heads that drove us to do it in the first place.
Disasters resulting from violating all information, recommendation and independent data formed conclusions is a failure of the individual to research, deaths from instinctive and innate psychotropic consumption as a result of outright refusal to fully investigate the causative agent while espousing dated rhetoric is a failure of society and of humanity.

Going to be a lot of extreme benzo addicts going cold turkey, I hope they all make it with or without help but I'm not holding my breath.
Which makes works such as this NPS BZD presentation even more necessary to promote.
Also, ewww....can we quit saying "Black Mamba" oh the loaded symbolism.
Just as easily as we can stop saying "Spice".
Marketing towards the masses and snazzy product names are no substitute for intelligent discourse regarding a specific compound which may or may not ever have been in the ludicrous packaging.
