How can you tell if what you're taking is a pipe?

I understand the effects of pipes and all in large doses...

but when taken in small doses, how do you know your pill is a pipe if when you're on it?
 
Well the Euphoria is significantly less profound, not as much empathy. At smaller doses of known pipes I actually don't get any headaches.

You can also find out of it pill has pipes in it by tasting it. Pipes usually have citrusey taste vs MDMA which just has this harsh taste.
 
Taste is not considered an even slightly reliable method of determining what is in a pill.

There are 3 things you should do.

1. Test your pill.

2. Use pill reports.

3. Discuss your pill in your regional bluelight drug discussion area.

Once you have taken the pill it is to late to determine whats in it other than guessing and your guess is as good as ours.

shitty roll

some also claim that pipes taste incredibly sour . I for one agree with this as every pipe I've had tasted like fricken battery acid ! But I'm not going to say this way of identifying pipes is correct because other blighters will probably get in a fit :-( lmao
 
uhh if u get a headache.. happen to me :(
if u want to kno 4shure buy a test kit
~PLUR~

Unfortunately since lots of pipes have MDxx added to them this isn't an efficient way to tell since they can still test positive.

I don't know about low dose piperazine, but I know when I accidently took pipes, 2.5 of them, I got hot and cold flashes and felt anxious- among other things. I'd say nausea, but I've gotten nauseated from both pipes and MDMA, though I think that the nausea from pipes lasts longer- for me, the entire time. Headache seems to be another good indicator. Also, of course, less euphoria an little to no empathy.

As far as trying to identify a pipe without ingesting it- sour taste can be an indicator, so can a waxy pill texture- but then again, there are good pills that are sour and/or waxy. My best advice would be to see how many of the characteristics a pill has and you can kind of deduce what it is, maybe. Not always. Like perhaps a weak test reaction plus a waxy, sour pill would be more likely pipes than a bitter, not waxy pill with a weak reaction etc. If course, a strong test reaction is most likely a pill with no piperazine. Also, often, but definitely not always, bright colored pills seem to be pipes, as well as outpresses. But that is by no means a definite indicator- just a trend that you can see from looking at pill reports.

Unfortunately there is no definite way to tell without taking the pill since there is no test out there for pipes, yet.

Even if the pill has MDxx and Pipes in them, the MDxx reaction is still pretty weak. The tests may not specifically test for Pipes, but if all your reagent pools are all watery and streaky, you can usually assume the pill you have is a Pipe, or at the very least not fit for consumption. At least, that's what I've seen for testing experiences.

I really wish they'd make a test that would test specifically for Piperazines.

hell yeh dude that's what I was gonna say..

how much is a testing kit?
 
So since the effects of pipes are really similiar to mdma then why it would it matter if we had pipes.
it won't hurt tho? unless ou pop too many since you never know.

once you experience a pipe, then its going to matter to you,unless your into that stuff which some people are, and it will hurt and can put you in the hospital.

also one hell of a shitty comedown.
 
The effects aren't like MDMA. Someone who's never done real MDMA may think that's what it's supposed to feel like but anyone who's had clean pills knows that pipes do not even come close to the effects of real MDMA.
 
Some effects are similar such as sense of touch but the paranoia is really bad and the come down is enough to ensure you always use a test kit.

thanks MazDan, you've prolly been the most helpful.


I suppose I should just stick to my "pop-one-pill-at-a-time" plan.
 
headaches and feeling like shit are what you get from pipes. They ruined my music festival for me, save yourself a lot of time and money by investing in a drug testing kit. You don't want to be taking pipes
 
Once you've done real MDMA you can tell a pipe right away( I mean when it hits you ofcourse not by just by looking at it lol ).

I've been lucky and haven't gotten many pipes in my life time of rolling, and the times I have gotten pipes the effects have varied from the usual MDMA come up, a bit of euphoria(not the same as MDMA),speedy effects especially when trying to sleep like tossing and turning and in some cases hallucinations.

I've been lucky and only been pipped 2-4 max and I've done lots and lots of pills and usualy it was from a person I didn't really know.

Like everyone else alway say best way to be safe is to be a test kit, if you can't get one you can always check pillreports.com which can be very helpful but still be careful just because you read a report on a certain pill in your area it isn't certain that you have the exact same one.
