Got my dancesafe newsletter and wanted to pass this on:
New Lab Results Raise Concerns over Rising
Number of Fake Pills
Recent results coming in from DanceSafe’s laboratory pill analysis program, viewable at http://www.dancesafe.org/currentresults.html, suggest that the illicit ecstasy market in the US is becoming more and more of a market for ecstasy substitutes. The overall percentage of fake pills has been increasing, as well as the number of pills containing multiple-drug combinations. In April, for example, we received one pill from LA containing five drugs: MDMA, Caffeine, Ketamine, Methamphetamine and MDA, and another from San Francisco containing Ketamine, Caffeine, MDMA, Ephedrine, DXM and methamphetamine.
Six psychoactive substances in one tablet sets a world’s record that the US should not be proud to have earned. While it is unlikely that many of these brown tablets with a question mark (?) stamped on them are floating around, the fact even one of them has been made reveals the dangers of an unregulated market. Schedule One offers the ecstasy consumer no protection while at the same time it creates the ideal condition for fake pills, which are often far more dangerous than pure MDMA. (Of course we all know no drug use is completely safe.)
Three new pills have surfaced in Europe that contain PMA and are not the typical white or off-white Mitsubishi tablets that have killed over 15 people so far in the US.
One is a crumbly, red Mitsubishi, one has a large capital "E" on it, and another has a "Superman" logo on it. None of these new PMA tablets have shown up in the US, at least not yet, as far as we know.
