edit: I just read Shannons post now.
That's the worst case scenario. People will be able to do stupid stuff with anything if it is powerful. If you make NSFM in 6G and it becomes as powerful as your subliminal drugs can get, about the same thing could happen... would this be a reason for you to never amp it's power up?
Please let this idea lay on your mind for some more time. With all profit risk is inherent, usually directly proportionally. Yes you would be taking a risk creating those products but also ask yourself what would you be risking not making them? How much exposure would you not get by people not sharing and experiencing them? There are always that 1% stupid people... if innovators would let themselves be hold back by them we wouldn't have the technology we have today.
In a couple of weeks you will come up with a workaround anyway to prevent the stupid 1% of people making dumm stuff with it or at least make it harder for them. Maybe something like a loud warning as you did with the silent arousal subs. Educate people about your products, the risks and sideeffects they could have and make them available only to 18+.
If people decide to use your products against your adivce, going through all the hassle of using it in a way it isn't designed, purposely disregarding any of your warnings you can't be blamed for that... you did everything in your power to prevent it.
Think about how "dangerous" elictricity is, and what stupid stuff dumb people could do with it. Even way more dangerous things than any subliminal. What would we do if Edison and Tesla would have thought only about the dumb 1% disregarding the 99%? There were a lot of warnings against Alternating current and yet we use it today on a large scale. What would be society without it?
I think those questions are far more important than the one question probably every innovator asked themselves at some point:
"what would dumb people do with my technology?"
Hopefully you consider thinking about it a bit more. You can't prevent dumb people from doing dumb things. If you're not creating those powerful subs now, maybe we have to wait another 100 years and somebody will. And the dumb people will wait for him to abuse it. And it will still be a success like the alternating current is.
