Personally I don't know how much stock I put in VICE. But other people have linked to VICE around here so some people must believe in it. Besides, it never hurts to get multiple opinions when you're talking about drugs and controlled substances.

Editor Julian Morgans has been on hair stuff for a while and has been trying to quit. So he doesn't have much good to say about it. He tells his story of juggling hair product after hair product, and he comes to the (allegedly) harmess RU58841.
Last I heard all this stuff did was make your eyes red. But Morgans not only got red eyes, but he couldn't sleep, and it hurt his balls. Which is specifically what I was afraid of. I asked if it did dickular stuff to you like every other hair restorer or steroid or whatever, and I heard it didn't. But news is now coming out that it does. So RU58841? Maybe out the window.
By the way, maybe I'm just reaching, but I feel like this Morgans guy is treating this men's self-esteem issue as a thing men themselves have to beat. If this was women worried about their weight or appearance or whatever, it wouldn't be a "You're paranoid, get over it" lesson like Morgans seems to be preaching. It would be a "Women have low self-esteem because of men" lesson.
Also, here's Morgans. Rate?

Take, for instance, a little drug called RU58841. Like finasteride, the stuff works by interfering with the body’s production and uptake of DHT, but with a significantly shorter half life. The chemical was developed in 1980 as an abortion drug by French company Roussel Uclaf, but the patent was dropped during a corporate merger in the 90s, only to be picked up again by Scottish company ProStrakan, who dropped it again in the mid-2000s. So now labs in China synthesise RU58841 and sell to distributors such as the Kane Shop, who sell on to customers for “research purposes only.” Then idiots like me rub it onto our scalps and hope for the best.
I was on RU58841 for about a week before I realised it was making my eyes red and affecting my sleep. On top of that, the pain in my groin became twice as intense as usual, so I quit the RU58841 and bought something called CB-03-01. But that stuff felt a bit like holding a nine-volt battery to my balls, so I switched to fluridil, and then flutamide, both of which dialed up the prostate pain and made me worry about cancer pretty much 24/7. So now I have about $2,000 worth of research chemicals in my freezer, and I’m back on finasteride, without further ideas.
