QotD: Homeopathy

If homeopathic methods of drug administration work so well, why hasn't anyone started selling homeopathic whisky? This approach also strikes me as a great way to get round illegal possession of recreational drugs, as no trace of the offending substance will be detectable by conventional forensics. Big dealers must surely have explored this obvious trick, so the absence of homeopathic cocaine, cannabis and heroin suggest that there's nothing in it in more ways than one.
