The website notes that what they have are "NOT for human consumption". Is it safe or is it different than what one would use for recreational purposes?
"NOT for human consumption" is a CYA clause so the seller can maintain some level of plausible deniability if the feds ever do try to come down on them. Rest assured, this is lab-grade, high quality stuff. I think they release lab results.
DEA: "This fancy new drug looks like another scheduled drug."
Seller: "It's not a drug; it's just a compound that we sell as a curiosity so get fucked."
This may hold at least some water in court.
It's akin to the age-old headshop rule of calling bongs "tobacco pipes" and kicking anyone out that calls them bongs.
As you mentioned, it looks like it will be difficult to get a referral for a full-body scan as a healthy person :\
Nonetheless, I found your explanation on printing such objects really helpful and the tutorials for 3D Slicer you've linked are really cool. While fully body scan looks impossible, I was involved in an accident several years ago and the hospital had taken CT scans of my brain to ensure it wasn't damaged. I will visit them to check if they can share the DICOM data of that scan (if they even have it by now) and will try to process it with 3D Slicer.
Thank you for the detailed response! [2] was an interesting read for someone new to medical imaging.
As you mentioned, it seems like it will be hard to get a referral for a full-body CT scan as a healthy person. The costs of scans also look pretty steep to quench a curiosity thirst :/
Nevertheless, I appreciate you sharing this knowledge and will try to print a segmented skull to understand the process better.
If you liked that, you'll love the video of it being speed & heat tested [0]. I watched it after turning up the sound and putting it on a big TV screen - it's gorgeous!
I appreciate your candid critique. I did not know the cost nor the steps involved in doing this. Also, by "debugging" I meant to find discrepancies or signs of abnormalities (if any) by having a model skeleton on hand.
