I suppose if you used miniscule amounts of it, to a lot of water you could, but the same could be said for any chemical product.

It is sold as a plant food to get round legislation in the UK, its also sold as an experimental research chemical. It gets round both food and drug laws by being hailed as a plant food, and not for human consumption.

Obviously the people who sell it will use the plant food claim to use the loopholes in the existing laws, do you honestly believe it is a plant food, if you do have a look on the net for any reputable gardening sites that advocate its use. Also next time you are in homebase have a look and see if its on the shelves there.
