Well, I already thought some about this. I am scared to take something produced in china. But I also have so much faith in the research I put in this and there's no other way to get it proven other than to wait 5 years, 10 years for someone to produce a pure kappa opioid antagonist and does all the necessary trials.
I thought of buying hamsters or something, stressing them to learned helplessness (unavoidable foot shocks or something) and then giving them some JDTic(they need far smaller dosages) and see if it fixes the learnt helplessness. If it does, then it holds promise to do what I expect it to do from all the research. I'd then give them an "overdose"(compared to the dose I would give myself) to see how they take for example 10 of my planned doses at the time. If they remain normal, I think I'd feel safe to take a single dose. After that, all bets are off. Naturally, this measure will not help with any possible "long-incubating impurities" that take a long time to produce effects. But I feel the risk would be considerably reduced. First off, chance of outright fraud(completely wrong chemical) would be reduced by the drug showing its effects on learned helplessness of hamsters. Outright toxicity would be shown from the hamster overdosing.
I would very much appreciate some of you trying to perform the same safety measures and reporting. If anyone has any lab friends, it'd be nice if they can disclose the nature of impurities.
