As I promised in my introduction I didn't see me being a common poster, but I have been and continue to lurk occasionally. What really brought me back to here was I was planning on another big purchase of Tirz or Reta. This was also the catalyst of getting my storage up to snuff as I moved homes and was ready for a pretty close to forever home base for myself thus my freezer thus the peptides forever home. I ultimately decided not to purchase more and I write here to ask for encouragement from the crowd not to buy more and to encourage you to maybe not buy some more.
I have years of supply but I also, plan to live for decades, inflation is only going to continue why not literally if you can get a life time supply. Well here is a few reasons I have come up with. First the peptide market is changing say you get a 20 year supply. Way before 20 years there very well may be something better on the market. Are you going to buy another 20 year supply are you going to try the new stuff? I think this point is personal as well, but for me between tirz and Reta I am pretty good. Its worked for me and I don't get sides. But for you the next generation product might break a stall it might be a pill you prefer over an injection, it might eliminate side effects for you. Not to mention in 20 years your drug of choice will likely be offered in a generic that is easy and affordable to obtain. My point is if your 20 and this is life changing for you don't go out there even if you have the funds and try to get 80 years in your freezer.
More reasons even with the perfect storage ©️ I expect in 5 years let alone 10 you don't know your situation you might move, fall on hard times, natural disaster, do you really want and need all that in your freezer now? Think of it as a liability What if we discover that even in the best of situations in 5 years your supply becomes 10 percent less effective what if the rate of degration is exponential. Look at how cheap supply is now, I am not saying stick your head in the dirt if prices double in the next month we are in an emergency that's not happening. As long as prices remain stable they might even go down, but if your not priced out of gray today I don't see you being priced out anytime soon. Moniter the situation, but don't freak.
Look at reconstitution and storage supplies are you hoarding those too? Everything from your needles to your vials and BAC have expiration dates which unless you plan to ignore should be replaced. I hoarded enough supplies to reconstitution all my peptides, with the idea if tomorrow BAC and vials became restricted I could always use an expired Hospira BAC over no BAC water. But truthfully we're in no real danger on the support supplies side of things.
On the matter of customs enforcement and foreign relations I would say TRT and oils has long been making the trip, maybe AI will bring down rates of passage, but I seriously doubt it. Again you don't even have to let go of the concern, just monitor the situation, if customs improves it won't be overnight and we'll hear whispers of it. If we (the west/USA) go to war with China tomorrow I think we will all have bigger problems, but truthfully dirty not a fed capitalist I am believes that even in a war another supplier like India would step forth and fill gaps over some manner of time. I don't see an global war that has the possibility of ending all of us lasting 10 or even 5 years anyways so you can't use that excuse to build a life time stash.
My final reason is think about why you want to hoard. I know when I stopped eating so much I found vices in spending on power tools and other dumb things I didn't need. I haven't bought so much to fear insolvency or a spending disorder, but I do believe with eating as a habit gone you might find other obsessions and vices. Don't let the cure become a problem/ a new obsession
So, where am I at on the argument? I am a hoarder by nature my final number I hope I stick too that I went with over half a year ago is 5 years max dose supply. I made it worse by trying some Reta and enjoying it so much and having the means to get 5 years max dose of Reta as well. Current plan is stick to tirz with a very light Reta stack and when I get to goal cut the Reta and then try cutting down on tirz, but truly it's been such a gift I would be happy sticking with tirz for life. Also realize if you go from 15mg to 5mg and don't care about 28 day rules you have tripped the lifetime of your stash.
In conclusion, I think I have enough. The fact that I can't say I KNOW I have enough is the problem I have to grapple with. I think I am already at the extreme end, but the fact I wanted to buy more as a form of FOMO was real for me so I know it's real for others. I invite everyone to do some thinking on when enough is truly enough. And this relates to adding on additional experiments as well consider the risk you add to your long term health and for what gain. Or be a peptide goblin it's fun and it's like being a dragon laying on its hoard of gold, just don't pretend that's not what it becomes at some point.
