Just wanted to let any concerned parties know that I got a response from Cady over at Crystal Clear Supplements after my email to him about his conduct in a recent Vice article about nootropics:
I appreciate your criticism and concern. I myself was not pleased with this section of the article as you are correct about phenibut being potentially dangerous. As journalism goes not everything is reported 100% accurately and I assure that I did alert mr. Eisinger that he was ingesting more than I would recommend anyone consume. It seemed to be his intention to push it to the limit and experience all levels of use.
As per your advice I will be drafting a more lengthy warning about the use of phenibut and adrafinil to post on my website to prevent people from using in excess and making sure they are aware of potential side-effects associated with phenibut in particular.
I am open to any other criticism you may have in the future.
Thank you and have an enjoyable evening.
Best regards,
Gor…

Sure. Also, Vice likely generates thousand times more exposure than this school paper.

I would never in a million years speak to Vice. They want to entertain, and create articles that make people click on them. Reality can certainly be entertaining. However, it's easier for a journalist to skew things to generate more interest.
