The general public is already dumb enough to misuse mild OTC fat burners like Hydroxycut and end up killing themselves. They'd do exactly the same with DNP, only it would just kill them sooner.
I personally would not take DNP, because the risks are more than I'm willing to take. However, I do not feel it is the govenment's job to protect us FROM OURSELVES. Sure they can regulate for purity/quality, but I think anyone over legal age should be able to decide for themselves what to put in their mouths and take full responsibility for their own actions.
