As I said on UK-M supp companies should not be selling things like caffeine in bulk powder form. It is asking for fannies like this to do stupid things :(

Yeah, and when people start to die (even that it is by their own fault) authorities tend to ban blindly a handful of useful substances that are harmless when used correctly :(
All that I say is hypothetically speaking and I do not condone the use of illegal substances. You should also eat your vegetables and use high SPF sunscreen :roll:

caffeine in powder form is dodgy. i dont have anything to measure it with and once when a few years younger and stupider i ended up very very sick one day after taking far too much of it.

dont agree with banning its sale or not holding it as onus is on people to educate and be aware of what they are taking.

saying that - BSD dont and wont do powder for the reason few of you have said....my perspective is what if a child somehow opens or gets hold of it - small enough as 1/4 teaspoon and hed be dead in minutes.

Bit of a contradiction I know - but I feel overall people should know how and what they are buying and taking......and certainly not banning its sale.

True

Caffeine would need to be kept along with bleach and ketamine on the top shelf only for responsible adult consumption

:?

On a serious note it cant be particularly worth it to sell it in powder anyway wheyn you look at the price it is for so much of the stuff in wee tablets. The powder is totally rank

There a fair few that could be dangerous

Tyrosonine maybe and the obv Yohimbhe..now that latter one in powder is asking for disaster....first hand exp! and i shoulda known way better! but whose fault was it - my own. not the comp that sold it to me

Incidents like this though will lead to complete regulisation of the supplement industry if they become a regular enough occurance. We've already seen half arsed attempts at this already and who knows how long before we need to start obtaining PX's for supplements.

I was driving around worcester at 1am and trying to convey the seriousness of the situation to the hospital staff utterly spazzing out. I then had a brainwave and messaged KP who found out the toxicity levels of it and I was under lethal dose. So I just tried to calm down lol. I went home in the end, thankfully I'm stimulant resistant..
