We made it to tiktok

[FlowerFairy]

We are screwed. Did a search on TikTok, “How to find grey vendors”- there are several of those “guides” for sale.

3 women were telling ppl to go to Jano’s website and pull vendor names from there.

Another one was saying, “DM me for my vendor!” I told her she was going to get that vendor shut down- her response? “No im not, I haven’t posted their name anywhere!!” 😒🙄. Wonder how many that she tells in DMs will??

They are posting unboxing videos. These ppl are so foolish.

And on their comments? “What are you talking about black water?” “What do you mean it comes in a powder?” “Look, just tell me how to get the premixed stuff”

People are going to end up in the hospital and instead of going after the dumbass that gave them info they didn’t understand how to use on TikTok, they will crack down on the grey market sellers. Ugh.

“Look, just tell me how to get the premixed stuff”

Reminds me of the line from The Golden Girls: "Calm down, lady! You just get out of prison?"

It was only a matter of time. Damn.

I saw on CBS News last night that Hims made 700 million on weight loss drugs last year. So that is a lot of demand. But the TV news I see still fails to mention gray.

Is this where someone pops in with the reconstituted stuff that someone sold last year? 🤭

I've seen it all now. Some lady posted on Reddit that a scammer peptide vendor sent them old peptides. When asked how she knew it was old, she replied "It's so old that it was already dried up when I got it!!!" LOL!!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣 DANGER WILL ROBINSON!!! 😳

The thing that helps in this case is, "It's not for human consumption, for research purposes only." Everyone who's supposed know, knows what research peps/meds are being used for. Of course for research. However, selling guides, and not watching how things are worded, can't be helpful to anyone.

It's as low as $2.78 per mg for compounded tirz, so I don't understand why someone who wants it ready-to-go just doesn't stock up like crazy on that. Which is what a lot of people have done already. It does expire after a few months or so but is still good enough for at least a year in the fridge.

I was paying about that for qsc tirz not too long ago.

That's still a massive amount of money for many people (who live hand to mouth at best anyway and are certainly not able to prepay), and obesity skews towards the lower-income people.

Additionally, I think most of the compounding pharmacies and go-betweens follow protocol for titration and stick to max Rx fill (3 months' supply with 2-4 weeks re-up buffer).

Yes, the initial upfront cost of $499 for a three-month supply is not exactly a slam dunk. But it pays for itself with food costs They will use multiple identities, etc.

It's not a bad price for compound.

Right, before I knew better in March, I paid $550 for my first 60 mg vial of compounded tirz (which my local pharmacist ordered) and considered myself lucky then. But it did help safety-wise since my pharmacist gave me printouts and made sure I would know how to dose it properly. And he threw in a free supplement of willow bark extract.

In telehealth terms that was a good deal!
