All the F is coming from China and there's real pressure on them from the US and Western Europe to stop it. The profit they are making on it can't be worth it.
They also want to improve their image, so they can have some claim to respect the rule of law and the value of human life.
Of course you always should be careful but I don't think this is a real risk.
Agreed - this is certainly another reason F is less likely to intentionally end up in the meds we were discussing. I suppose there is a risk of cross contamination if F were being used to make something else at the same press. Big pharma mess up, but they can recall meds through a retail chain, and obviously we have no equivalent.
The other reason I recommend testing is that mistakes happen... the wrong white powder goes in. I've heard the occasional story of an IOP or research chemical vendor sending the wrong thing, which if it doesn't have distinct marks/colours could be very bad...
For those in the UK there is the Wedinos project. It is technically Wales, but they'll test samples from the other bits of GB (on the assumption they are gathering data on trends). That's a free anonymous test in a university lab, in exchange for filling out their form and mailing it to them. For those in other countries whose choices are limited or expensive, I suggest you get the cheap test kits mentioned above and test for a) what you want it to be (e.g. tests +ve for being a benzo), and b) another second test for what you don't want (e.g. a -ve test for F) and whilst not perfect it reduces the probability of unhappy outcomes.
Stay safe my friends!
