Sometimes pills & tablets get sprayed with a weak solution of
MDMA after being pressed, especially now with the advent of
these "miracle" EZ-Testers.
Tablets that have been sprayed are often "powdery" on the
outside and can have a very strong bitter or spicy (peppery or aniseed)
smell.
This often leads people to assume that the bitterness they taste
on their tongue is an MDMA-like substance, and expect a
fabulous experience to follow.
Manufacturers are not stupid and most have realized that it is
possible to pack as much filler and crap into the middle of the pill,
and "top up" the outside & edges with substances containing
enough MDMA to produce a "blue to black" response on the
EZ-Tester.
Please be careful on how much you rely on these testers.
Me personally? I ask what I'm getting and whether it's been
tested. If they guarantee a test result, I chop a pill in half and
scrape from two opposite edges and also from the middle, and do
three separate tests myself in front of the seller. If it's no good, I
won't buy it.
Why should we be risking our health and wasting our money on
crummy substances from selfish sellers? Do you really think you
have the right to bitch about a bad night on a bunk pill if you
bought it at 9pm inside a club? No one should be complaining
about a bad night if they weren't a little more vigilant and sensible
in the first place....
Once again, I just want to ask everyone to please be careful.
Remember the big picture, and make the decisions you need to,
based upon what you think is right for you in the long run.
