I've checked the molecule in question, it's that sort of stuff that even amateurs could make in a backyard lab, from indole and dichloromethane (use AlCl₃ as catalyst). So if the effects are real and there aren't too big counter-effects, this will spread like wildfire.
I hope they don't. Dichloromethane ain't nothing to mess with. Wikipedia page section on its toxicity
It's also the main component of some plastic model glues.
