Lab tested pills containing only caffeine turning purple to black

Go to ecstacydata.org and see what the deal is. I guess theyve gotten three pills in the last month that this has happened to.

hmmm. odd but sometimes tests get screwed up. or perhaps they didn't test for one of the non-active chems that can turn a tester black. i'll just reiterate a point i made a while back about other odd results from there:

so why did Dancesafe say they got a "slow change to black"?
my theory is that the pill they tested had once been stored in a baggie with other pills, some of which were MDxx. this put enough MDxx dust on the pill to give a "false positive" to the reagent test, but probably not enough to significantly register on the lab test.
or perhaps the knife wasnt properly cleaned that scraped the pill, or the surface it was tested on wasn't washed properly...
Dancesafe uses (relatively) untrained volunteers, who work in loud, crowded, distracting environments. I'm not hassling any of them for maybe screwing up a test or two, because I do the same work they do and understand how hard it is. and anyways, the testers were sufficiently worried about the reaction to forward the pill onto the lab for full testing.

For sure caffeine will not show a typical Ecstasy like substance reaction. There must be some mistake ?

I don't wanna speculate on why or how this happened but i can not say this enough...SPOT TESTING IS NOT 100% PERFECT!!!! you can never be sure with the contents of a pill, especially because some things will resemble a MDXX reaction (not many, but i'm sure they're out there)
please don't assume that because a pill tested positive that it will be safe...

There are three pills like this. I know about all three of them. One is said to be very dangerous and the others seem to be real. Who knows what chemicals are eating kids brains these days.

I know the three pills that are similar are the blue lvs, tan mercedes, and yellow ducks..does anyone know which one the "dangerous" one is?....I have had experience with the tan mercedes and I can say that is not caffeine..something in those pills made me trip for about 24 hours...also I have frineds that have been taking them a lot, so will someone please let me know what the deal is with these pills and if they have identified that strange mystery compound?

Hi there, this is the wrong forum to be asking such questions. We do not know the make up of every pill in every part of the world. This is for general and informed discussion about pill testing as a subject unto itself. My suggestion is that you firstly read the posting guidelines in the forum before you post anything, and secondly check the various resouces that exist for the reporting of pills. Try www.pillreports.com and www.ecstacydata.org
