    Very interesting story on origin, history, and current manufacturing/regulations. Will be interesting to see if the story spreads widely enough in the community that sales of the more expensive versions taper off after the admission that they're all the same.

    The title emphasizes the gay-men aspect, which is valid, but overlooks the psychotropic aspects which I find more interesting.
