In response to a slight bit of misinformation by CrystalMethBunny (no personal attack or offense meant) ecstasydata.org has pill results logged all the way back to 1995 whilst dancesafe has recorded pill from 1999 onward. Dancesafe assisted in startup of ecstasydata.org as well as erowid and the MAPS project. Ecstasydata.org is a compilation of the results from Dancesafe's lab, plus DDL and other sources as well. Ecstasydata.org tends to post pill testing results for new pills more quickly than DanceSafe, but DS also offers a wealth of information on drugs in general and current media and news happenings, whereas ecstasydata.org is strictly a data resource of pill information for harm reduction workers (like myself), medical professionals and any other intersted party.
The current dancesafe pill reports do indeed show the same pill that tested positive by the GC/MS test as 5-MeO-DIPT. This leads to an potentially perplexing situation. Someone who takes multiple pills of a 5-MeO-DIPT pill could be in for a potentially uncomfortable experience due to its sharp dose/response curve. Does this indicate a new genre of misrepresented pills using research chems as ingredients? Possibly, but IMO as long as other cheaper, more readily available adulterants (DXM, Aspirin, Sominex etc....) these would probably account for a smaller percentage of misrepresented pills.
To all that read this post, this is yet another reinforcement to the adage, buy a test kit or have someone test you pills for you. No drug is 100% safe, but harm reduction is exactly that.
