I'm not even talking about the fun drugs, but things like a bottle of vitamin supplements, over the counter, or prescription medication. Sure, you can test a batch, but will that mean testing one pill out of each bottle? Or could consistency drop enough that one pill might not say much about the others in the bottle?
Will testing resources get stretched to the point where many won't be able to afford them if we'll need to test each bottle of pills we buy to make sure the producer didn't just stick a nice label on lead pills to make a quick buck and disappear in the night before the fallout?
That was the context of this conversation though. The original comment was about legalizing/decriminalization of psychs, and the reply that you originally responded to was about legalizing (one would assume based on the subject matter) other recreational drugs.
That's fair and to be clear, I wasn't intending to contradict what you were saying but to clarify the scope of my comment was intended to be "anything in a package with a label where you trust that the contents match the label".
