What's scary to me is that with all these variations available, it's more and more risky that whatever I'm trying to get is in fact something else, which immediately becomes far more dangerous as even a slight adjustment (weed to Spice) can make a serious difference. How do I know my MDMA isn't not-MDMA?

Most "MDMA" is not-MDMA these days. Same with "acid". It's much easier and cheaper to get something close enough that most people can't tell the difference, and it sells just as well.

Yeah, that's the problem I'm talking about. Thing is, sometimes people can't tell the difference but are unknowingly damaging themselves far more severely than they would be on the drug they think they're taking.

This got me worried that I had M1. Probably didn't though. I think. Hope.

<$20 test kits are mandatory in the current drug environment thanks to the problems you outline.

Fucking K2. Shit is insidious. Causes seizures, gives drugs a bad name, terrible high (from what I've heard, would never touch it).

ooh didn't know that. Those test kits work reliably on say lsd, molly etc?

edit: without destroying the substance you're testing?

They do chemically change the drug so it's unusable, but they only need a tiny bit, as small as an otherwise useless pill shaving.

Anyway, if you can afford to do drugs, you can afford to spend a bit more to do them safely.

Wow. I'm really glad I ran into this. Thank you.
