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

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
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.

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.
Pretty wild
Ok but what about placebo love potions?
They will be confiscated by the imaginary police.
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…
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.
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.
