Just how dangerous can X be?

[MisterPhilleh]

Obviously i hear success stories about how people are rolling balls etc. but, im wondering about the bad side of street ecstasy. We've all heard about those infamous mitsubishis, but how often do pills like those go around? Whats the most dangerous chemical that youve ever heard of being pressed?
Theirs all the obvious signs, never take imprinted pills, stingy bitter taste, etc, but im just curious, and really wanna know so i dont end up killing myself or some other shizzy.

If, as I strongly suspect, you are a journalist; you'll probably have more success on this site by being open about it.

Most people on here try to reduce harm, and that includes raising truthful awareness through the media.

In answer to one of your questions though, I've heard caffeine can sometimes be pressed into ProPlus tablets. That's pretty deadly; probably the most dangerous chemical that i've ever heard of being pressed....

 

[smellytim]

the most dangerous things commonly put in pills IMO- piperazine, DXM, meth.

theres no heroin or coke pills.

a bitter taste is a good sign you have mdma, but no sure thing. some pills have no taste..
a sour pill is also a good sign you have a pipe.
a test kit is the best to make sure you dont get a bad pill, besides that there is no standard way to make sure you are getting MDMA. check pillreports too.

i wouldnt exactly call caffeine deadly..

Hahh im not a journalist. Just a skeptic, who wants to experience this almost religious euphoria, but dosent want to take any chances by putting dangerous chemicals in my body. Its of such concern to me because im very lightweight, and pretty much any psychoactive chemical hits me....no, bitch slaps me twice as hard as the average joe.

No investigative reporting here, just trying to be safe.

^ fair enough (jury retires to ponder verdict )

get a test kit. plain and simple.

...then buy another one in case it breaks
....then buy a third for when one breaks, and you're buddies nicked the other one last week.

Not only will it save you $$$ on pills, it will probably save your life at some point too...

Im not sure where you got the idea that an imprinted pill means something.

How the pill is pressed and the tatse mean absolutely nothing when it comes to determining whats in a pill.

Buy and use a test kit, visit pill reports and discuss in your regional bluelight discussion forum.

Many people have died from adulterated pills. There lives could have been saved had they used a test kit.

 

[MisterPhilleh]

Where would i get a test kit? Are they sold at headshops?

 

[MazDan]

google EZ TEST or if your in Australia then i believe they are available at a number of shops. Check out the links in the directory on post 2.

May I ask where you are from exactly OP?

 

[General joy]

Second getting a test. Then you won't have to worry about the dangers as much- you would know for yourself.

I've only encounter bad pills once(Blue J's), and I made a retarded choice to take a massive dose. The pills tasted like actual candy like a sugary sweet taste (I thought they were walmart candy or something). I got extremly sick for about 20 mins, then passed out and threw up in my sleep for the next 2 days. Woke up on the 3rd day with puke all over myself feeling like total shit. Those were the worst 3 days in my life. I still have no idea what was in those sugary tasting pills.


After all that happened I only take my pills one at time, and I actually use my test kit when its needed now.

X is deadly if you don't know what's in your pill. If you test it and do the test correctly, and DON'T TAKE IT if it's a bad reading, you should probably be fine. Start with one, i wouldn't recommend popping a second if nothing happens -- wait for another day. MDMA in the long term has been linked to causing clinical depression when used often.

MDMA damages brain serotonin neurons. Serotonin is thought to play a role in regulating mood, memory, sleep, and appetite. Recent research indicates heavy MDMA use causes persistent memory problems in humans.

It should be noted that this website doesn't cite any sources and appears to have plenty of negative overgeneralisations and inaccuracies. More accurately we should check NIDA, the government sponsored website:

How Long Do the Effects of MDMA Last?

For most users, the effects of MDMA last 3 to 6 hours. But negative side effects can last for days.

Negative side effects can last for... days? What are those negative side effects...

What Are the Consequences of MDMA Use?

MDMA is not a safe drug-even if taken only once in a while. It can change the way the brain functions, impairing the senses, memory, judgment, and coordination. Other side effects include:

* Confusion
* Anxiety
* Sleep problems
* Heatstroke (hyperthermia)
* Nausea
* Muscle tension
* Blurred vision
* Faintness
* Chills
* Sweating
* Teeth clenching
* Depression the following day

Ironically, the official government website seems to understate the risk (in my own opinion). Of course, the most important thing is recognising these drug users:

How Can I Tell if Someone I Know Is Using MDMA?

Someone using MDMA may experience the following:

* Forgetfulness
* Loss of coordination, dizziness, or fainting
* Depression
* Confusion
* Sleep problems
* Dental problems
* Excessive thirst

You may notice that they own "rave" accessories, such as pacifiers and glow sticks.

Damn ravers with their binkeys and glowsticks

Hahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh those government websites crack me up. They act like these 'dangerous, underground all-night dance parties' are they only place where people take x. Sometimes i think that the people who write the stuff on those sites are stupider than half the people that sell it.

Taking a pill that was filled with DXM and another with MDMA could cause bad things to happen. Enzyme issues leading to serotonin syndrome.

People have died, i hear PMA is kind of bad in australia.

I stopped eating pressed pills a long time ago.... Too many speedy nights and random fucked up piperazine trips, all filled with terrible comedowns.

You can buy test kits which minimize the risk quite a lot. Like i said before though, your region and general qualities vary around the world. Australia has problems with the market being flooded with piperazines while i have never taken molly that was adulterated without being warned first and that was just 2c-i, and i like that combo anyways.

Its all really high quality, it cured one of my friends of PTSD and helped him come to terms with a lot of issues in his life. He genuinely thanked me for that, i got him to chill with me for a bit and he had an emotional explosion, he said it was lifechanging. Couple others and myself have all found ourselves falling in love with someone. I haven't had a bad comedown in months.
