I would argue it’s probably easier to get the doses wrong with oral or transdermal than injections. DIY oral pills aren’t really a thing beyond ordering from overseas pharmacies. So it’s either oral tinctures, transdermal creams, or injections. Injections seem a lot more precise, and the dose response is much more predictable. Transdermal has hugely variable skin absorption, and oral has to get variably processed by the liver and kidneys. But injections skip all that and are fully absorbed.

Yeah, you’re right. Like, I come from a STEM background. Simple volume concentration calcs are trivial to me. But yeah, often it’s hard to step back out of your own experience. If people aren’t comfortable with that or with volumetric measuring…it gets hard. I think it’s not so difficult to learn. Just about anyone can learn how to do injections safely, but people don’t always have access to good information or training. And yeah, it gets even more complicated for minors.
