Ecstasy often laced: police

Victoria Police have found that pills sold as ecstasy usually contain other chemicals as their main ingredient.

Police tests indicate drug makers are increasingly lacing tablets with a variety of other dangerous substances, including horse tranquilizers, morphine, speed, nerve-numbing agents and a drug vets used to treat incontinence in cats and dogs.

Only 18 of 89 batches of CK-branded tablets seized and tested by police had MDMA - methylenedioxymethamphetamine, the pure form of ecstasy - as their main ingredient, while four tablets did not contain MDMA at all, the Herald Sun reported.

Victoria's top drug investigator, Detective Superintendent Tony Biggin, said taking ecstasy was a huge risk.

"The broader issue with ecstasy is, of course, ... what are you taking?" he said.

They give a good reason for ending prohibition.. then the quality could be guaranteed.
 
I'm sure untrue ecstasy would still stick around though. People would probably press powders together and make them look like the "real deal" and sell them off, ripping people off by making fake ones. 5 cents worth of food coloring and some cooking powders sold off for $20.

Guess you have to make sure to go to an authorized shop?

I wonder how many of those batches contained ecstasy related chemicals.

That's kind of creepy though considering they were all the same brand. Guess it shows that even though two pills may look the same, they can be completely different.

Not many chemicals that are used to cut E pills are effective at their oral dosages. Never heard of sarin E pills...

not really something you would use to 'fake' a roll

but PPA (phenylpropalanine)(sp?)is used to treat animals for that affliction....used to be in diet drugs too.....a step above ephedrine in a stimulant way
 
Yup, phenylpropanolamine (a.k.a norephedrine) is used in some decongestants. There was a health scare (slightly increased risk of stroke) over it a few years ago and many products were voluntarily reformulated by the manufacturers. The FDA may ban it all together in the future.
