WikiPedia tells me that the references to it being a plant fertiliser
are the media getting stuff wrong. Looking at the chemical composition
and structure, there's no way that's a sensible plant fertiliser
(excluding it acting as a plant hormone is harder). If anyone was
selling it as a plant fertiliser that would be a scam.

Apparently it comes in a packet that says something like 'Plant food: not
for human consumption"

This is the manufacturers/suppliers covering their backs.
