I love the idea behind this movement but there's no validation or proof to know what you make is actually effective.

I'd love to see the guy behind this movement actually do studies on the efficacy of home made pharmaceuticals but then I have a feeling that big pharma would shut it down.

If the alternative is cost prohibitive and you have no insurance or some fascist wants to prevent certain people from certain types of care, I think the point is pretty moot. I'm assuming efficacy would be directly related to the skill and knowledge of your cook, just like meth.

I assume there's a market of very desperate state-locked women that'd only grow with the second Trump presidency, if we center up on abortion medications they provide. If I were in this collective, I'd go far and beyond with veryfying drug makers on a personal level, maybe giving them something akin to a checkmark on their own site, because there is a threat of right-wing fuckos selling meth or rat poison while cosplaying as a legit makeshift anrchist lab under their guidance. Ough, what a sentence. Anyway, yeah, the circle of trust should be tight with that one and if I was a woman (or any patient) I could've used a couple of peers confirming they had a good batch from the X lab and it caused no harm to them. If we are talking serious drugs one little fucked up doze is enough to bury you, and it takes a very dedicated person to try it first.
