Its being marketed as ED medicine, so I doubt it was an accident. A lot of the virility pills in gas stations are a mix of boner meds and discontinued anti-depressants.

Gas stations sell virility pills?

Yeah they usually have an animal on it with vague claims of what it will do. Here are some examples

Dont even get me started on feelfree.

Might I inquire about getting you started on feelfree? It sound intriguing!

Its a "botanical product" that is an extract of Mitragynine from Kratom and Kavalactones from Kava.

Now I have no problem with either of those or even 7OH products being legal. They are way safer than most street drugs. My problem with them is the labelling, or lack of.

It looks like an energy shot and doesn't say what's in it clearly, and doesn't even tell you what the effects are supposed to be. Many people try it thinking it's another 5 hour energy competitor and get addicted by accident.

I also have concerns about the liver when it comes to taking both of those simultaneously. Kratom alkaloids are processed by the liver, and although it seems safe enough on its own Kavalactone is known to have hepatoxicity. I worry combining them might exacerbate Kavas hepatoxicity.

You don't go to gas stations for boner medication? What century are you living in?
