Unfortunately, I have some bad news. Jason (/u/Guacamolium), my business partner and co-founder of Ceretropic has died. He was found dead in his apartment on Friday afternoon. He had not come in for a few days, and was not answering his phone. I got a little worried, so /u/Synzael and I decided to go check on him. After he did not answer, we decided to get the police to come down. When they entered his apartment, they found him dead inside.

So sad to hear this and being such a vital part of the nootropics community makes it all the more painful.

There is a thin line between a severely toxic dose and a lethal dose of any given substance. He will be greatly missed. God bless him and all of you as well.
