    … it’s very hard experimenting when you’ve no idea of potency or dosages.

    This.

    Fun thing I bumped into a few weeks ago: the guy who’s credited with inventing LSD tried a bit to see how it worked and how it felt. But he had no idea just how ridiculously potent LSD is. I forgot the exact numbers, but I do recall the ballpark. So he had a Fermi-estimated 100 μg while he only needed like 10 μg for a good time, so not only did he have the first known LSD trip, he had the first known bad trip.

    Non vegan here. 🤔

    Soooooo honey is not extracted directly from the bees, so that would be an argument to declare honey vegan.

    On the other hand, even with modern beekeeping tech and modular hives, one could argue the act of taking honey to be a serious intrusion on the bees’ life, so that could be an argument that honey is not vegan.

    One could argue where the line lies with eusocial organisms. Do you consider the individual bees or do you consider the whole hive? Whole hive? Honey may not be vegan. Individual insects? Honey could be vegan.

    It really depends on your standards. One vegan friend of mine does drink mead (honey wine, for the uninformed) for instance.
