Wait... does "molly" (white powder in a capsule sold as pure) count as a pill or a powder? Wouldn't it be easier to test powders seeing as you don't have to go through the trouble of figuring out what they used as a binder or deal with any colouring that might have been added?
Why would it be so much more expensive???
molly would count as a powder. I can't speak for them, but I don't think it has anything to do with being easier or harder to test. It's that the site is a public service. The molly you have tested is only going to be of interest to you, since molly is so easily adulterated. If a pill is sent in others can match the color and press. Yes there can be copycats, but probably not as likely when the pill matches EXACTLY to the picture and description and location...
That is true. I never would have thought of that. I realy want to get some statistics on actual contents of "extacy" in my area. I think i'm going to buy a test kit of my own for that price and started colecting data.
that sounds like a good idea! but be aware, test kits will only tell part of the story--there are no indicators for many common adulterants (TFMPP, BZP, mCPP, caffeine, etc.).
And they also do not analyze per part of each drug that a pill could contain.
"Do it yourself" kits only test for the presence of chemicals, there is no further information that can be gathered. Ecstasydata.org is actually using lab equipment to analyze the contents of the pill.
Testing your pill is certainly far better than not testing your pill so I still highly encourage you to purchase a test kit of your own.
