And in pharmaceutical manufacturing, diluting things is definitely a science. Gotta worry about demixing, adsorption, absorption, granulations, cracking or creaming of emulsions (if present), caking... lots of fun when you need to make something consistent at low concentrations.
The link I initially posted was about 4-aco-dmt being found in gummies and chocolate — types of candy. It came in packaging with recommended dosing on it.
>You won't find any of them are conspicuously sold for human consumption, it's easier to stamp "not for human consumption" on the packaging.
That's not the get out jail free defense that idiots think that it is. Gummies aren't made and packaged and distributed for any other purpose than human consumption, judges aren't stupid.
