Maybe but that would involve us trusting the government.
I don’t think it should have ever been a crime to smoke a joint I also don’t think it should be a crime to eat a sugar cube that someone put three drops of water on it.
Legislators and regulators are targeting producers and not consumers.
The same way the drug war was waged yes? How did that work for us?
Would you rather trust companies driven entirely by profit over the government?
False dilemma. Now are you willing to put down money right now that the government will never try to ban abortion pills? If you aren’t I must conclude that you are the one that doesn’t trust the government. You know the same government that fought a war against cannabis users for 9 decades.
Fucking Christ, and people ask why that shit should be forbidden???
You’re so used to reading bullshit, arm length ingredients lists that the homeopathy industry’s bullshit “ingredients” list is ALL water and you don’t realize it.
Each of the “30c” or above is PURE WATER. The whole bottle is pure water!
At 4c the average distribution of announced ingredients to water is 10 parts per billion of “active” molecules. At 12c you get an average of 0.6 molecule per litter.you most likely have way less than a hundred molecules per billion. That’s pure water.
I’m not saying that it doesn’t work – I’m saying that instead of paying idk what price for it you could just use distilled or even tap water and get the same results, and not fund a bunch of absolute crooks.
Edit: oh and each of the “active” ingredients is not actually active. It’s just a bunch of pseudoscientific bullshit that have been given the chance, thousands of times, to prove its efficiency, and NEVER managed to. Not explaining how they would somehow do it, no, just prove that what they’re offering is in any way better than placebo. They’ve always been entirely incapable of proving it.
Notice the ‘c’ and ‘x’ designations after each ingredient. Those aren’t standard amounts like ml or mg, they designate the amounts of dilution: x means 10 and c means 100. The number is also not an amount, but the number of succussions, which means the times it was shaken before the next dilution.
So 6c means the ingredient was diluted 6:1, shaken, then diluted 6:1 again and shaken again, 100 times.
Homeopathy is the belief that water has memory, and you can activate that memory by diluting an ingredient with water, shaking it, then diluting it again and shaking tens or hundreds of times. By the end of the process, there should be nearly zero molecules of the active ingredient left, but the water will ‘remember’ the ingredients that are now gone.
I’m sorry to say none of the ingredients in the list on that label are actually in that product.
eta: Also, the ingredients are chosen because they cause a symptom the user is experiencing, not because they help cure or lessen a symptom. So they may include pepper for a cold because pepper makes you sneeze, not because it helps with sneezing. This they call ‘like cures like’. So many ingredients in the list will be ineffective, harmful, or fatal if any amount was still in there.
Shouldn’t ALL homeopathic “medicine” be pulled?
Genetically Modified Skeptic intensifies
I swear I just heard drew screaming from atop a building somewhere.
Probably, but I’d wager it’s a timesaving way to treat hypochondriacs.
And potentially lifesaving but it doesn’t address the core issue and makes a ton of profits for crooks instead of funding actual research
No, they just need to stop making claims that they help
Just label that shit for what it is: bottled water.
Some “homeopathic medicine” is just food tho
I think you’re confusing natural medicine with homeopathy. Homeopathy is straight nonsense, always.

Do you live in USA? If I did, I would be worried about the government too.

Yes, as water is pretty safe.
