Remember it is illegal to use, produce or distribute love potions in most if not all cases. This includes every state, province and territory.

Third one of these comics I’ve seen in a short time. Are they supposed to be anti-jokes? None of them seem to have any sort of punchline…
I think they’re going for the kind of humor Li Chen or Poorly Drawn Lines does but … it’s a work in progress
I think there should be another (perhaps hidden) panel where the guy on the left just chugs the entire cauldron in front of the witch, maintaining eye-contact.

What if I use it on myself?

Does the recipient have to love a person, or can we, say, make one for the environment and the wellbeing of all our fellow living things?
Big Depression won’t allow it, it’s a scheme to sell more sad
You’re just describing shrooms, lol
Can I introduce a dilute form of it into the water supply and then have an easy path to elected office?
As for 1/. is concerned, you’ll be ok as long as you can stay away from lakes and other deep still water reservoirs (Narcissus)
Still illegal, as the person will feel a romantic love towards the environment. Some people who’ve done this little experiment have been caught doing unspeakable acts to forests and groves. And for some reason, fences.

Ok but what about placebo love potions?
Gaslighting?
Gaslighting isn’t real
👉🏻😎👉🏻
Zoop!
They will be confiscated by the imaginary police.
Maybe still a little questionable? Like if you honestly convince someone that they are supernaturally compelled to be in love with you, that might be a bit manipulative
Necromancy gets a bad rap, but these soulless husks weren’t doing anything useful before I got here. Enchantment is the stuff of nightmares.
But my boy Sandal loves enchantment
Ahahahahahaah! xD
I wouldn’t mind selling my future corpse to the Dusties. I need money now, and won’t need my body then. Seems like a perfect deal.
And the final ingredient, a dash of GHB…
Channelate has a short on this
Giving a love potion to your parents so they’ll stop abusing you
Daaaannngggggg
Offers the police a refreshing drink when they arrive.
But when I kissed the cop down at 34th and Vine
He broke my little bottle of

I’m not seeing any downsides here.
Only two weeks? I want my money back for that love potion.
I recall i scene in The Pest where they use pheromones to attract lions or something. Really showed how scummy the antagonist was.

That life drain potion though? Totally ok :-)
For even more warning, a child made through procreation via a love potion also loses their nose.
And is also a sociopath, incapable of feeling or giving love.
The Harry Potter series is so weird about this.
It’s like a joke that a girl essentially tries to roofie Harry and gets Ron instead. Voldemorts mom drugs a muggle into loving her.
As it turns out the author of Harry Potter is a huge piece of shit
Just interesting that for all the hysteria about trans women going into women’s restrooms to rape, she’s remarkably nonchalant about women raping men. (UK law defines rape in such a way that cis women can’t really commit it anyway.)
Yes, she’s an awful awful person generally and it shows through her characters in her books.
Pretty wild
The Gods Are Bastards makes the same call-out!
“I’d be careful with that kind of joke, Professor,” Toby warned. “Sisters of Avei consider the use of love potions a form of rape. So does Imperial law, for that matter, but Imperial law doesn’t get quite as…worked up on the subject as they do."
Only Villains Do That, by the same author, has a similar reference - the protagonist receives a “starter bundle” of spells, one of which is Enamour. He’s pretty skeeved that one of his few starter spells is a rape spell.
Dang, love potions are a dark art confirmed.
Perhaps what the potion really does is changes you when you make it so that you become the person that your object of desire will love.
Well that works until the person you’re pining for is, unbeknownst to you, gay or lesbian. Now you’re in for more changes than you bargained for!
The beauty of such subtle magic is that you would be happy to be changed in such a way. :)
Only time I’ve seen an ethical love potion plot was a cute little comic featuring a couple looking to spice things up due to mutual boredom. They split a love potion, but neither changed their behavior. Both remained bored together, but with slight, visible smiles.
Honestly, one of the most scientifically plausible “love potions” we might actually be able to make someday would something that long term couples might actually be really interested in. You know that initial early head-over-heels “chemical love” that happens right at the start of a relationship? In principle that could be duplicated artificially. That would be something.
So just an absolute rage of hormones and oxytocin? Sounds miserable to me, but I’m ace-aro so what do I know?
You can get an oxytocin nasal spray, right now, to enhance your bonding if you so choose.
