People were saying that poison is stupid because it goes through the boots this is the same thing... just a matter of taste when it comes to realism i guess

Walking through healing liquid is the same thing at the end...
There is no problem with this scenario as long as the poison emits toxic fumes. Similarly, if the potion goes through the boots in record time, it's probably not just the liquid doing the work. I have no idea if any of this is consistent with D&D lore.

However, I think thrown healing potions should be less effective. It's one thing to partly cover your party member in liquid. Topical application. Okay. It's another to miss and for them to recover through, what, inhaling the potion?

In either scenario, they're not getting the full dose. Not that it should even really be able to go through anything but cloth. Though, it's not like it makes sense that they work instantly despite not being magic. "Making sense" is a lost cause.
