Sharing because I found this very interesting.

The Four Thieves Vinegar Collective has a DIY design for a home lab you can set up to reproduce expensive medication for dirt cheap, producing medication like that used to cure Hepatitis C, along with software they developed that can be used to create chemical compounds out of common household materials.

Can confirm. I tried. Long time ago. Spoke to a lady at a Canadian Embassy.

I didn't meet the education requirements.

Edit - For anyone curious. I'm a Highschool grad. No college. No secondary at all. Uni or tech. So, an American HS diploma isn't enough education to be useful to a functional society In pretty much any western nation. I wasn't even mad at the time. Kinda disappointed. But yeah. I get it.
