About this site

The reality is that most local smoke and supplement shops operate on the front lines with limited education about the very products they sell

while manufacturers often understand their formulations but have little interaction with end users. Dose and Disclosure exists to help close that gap—

Educating shop owners and operators selling gray-area or exotic supplements with active ingredients, while also empowering adult consumers with knowledge and context.

I operated a shop for over 11 years and focused on these products because I find them fascinating—and because this industry has enormous potential if neighborhood shops truly understand their customers.

You wouldn’t trust a mechanic who can’t explain what’s under the hood, yet too often the only guidance offered is “this is the hottest product right now.”

This is a fast-paced, ever-evolving space, and a lack of education has pushed many customers online, leaving local shops as a last resort.

Our hope is to help rebuild that trust, strengthen local businesses, and foster a more knowledgeable, responsible, and thriving community.

Dose and Disclosure: Underground Ingredient Intel is your virtual head shop—built for those who want to understand what’s actually under the hood of today’s smoke, smart, and supplement shop products.

Here you’ll find deep-dive ingredient breakdowns, product reviews, and practical information focused on harm reduction, risk-versus-reward, and real-world use.

People are already using these compounds and products; our goal isn’t to sensationalize or promote misuse, but to offer clear, honest insight into potential effects, interactions, and consequences so users and sellers alike can make more informed decisions.

When consumers are safer and better informed, the entire industry benefits.
