Everything on this site works without it. The contents list is a plain anchor list instead of a scroll-tracking sidebar, search is a normal form that submits to a results page, and the country filter on the law index becomes a select and a Filter button. Nothing is hidden from you and no content is loaded by script.

What this page covers

This is a stub. The body is written against sources before publication; the structural fields below already drive the article furniture.

What the evidence supports

Where the evidence is thin we say so in the sentence rather than in a footnote.

eoin@realmadhoney.com

A reader-supported information site. We publish articles only: nothing here is for sale, nobody pays for coverage, and we link to no traders. General information only, not medical or legal advice, and no substitute for a clinician or a poisons centre.

One email a month, when there is something worth saying.

New articles, changes to any of the legal-status pages, and a short note on any study worth reading. If a month passes with nothing substantial, you get nothing: we would rather skip than pad. No sponsors, no seller mentions, no third-party sharing.
