every viral post frames this as a loophole drug. "the legal high nobody's talking about". and i get why it spreads but the framing itself changes who shows up and how they treat it. you call something a legal high and you've basically told people to go chase a ceiling. thats the exact wrong mindset for this

the thumbnails are always some guy with his eyes rolling back. cant imagine why people then turn up expecting that

yeah it front-loads the worst behaviour. "how strong can i make this" instead of a small amount and some respect

"drug" is lazy as a category too. lumping it in with recreational stuff smuggles in a whole set of expectations that dont fit

and the framing isnt an accident. "legal high" = clickbait that also moves jars. fear and hype run on the same engine
