Haha, yeah, this is commonly discussed. I think pill reports has all but one pill in all of it's history that was found to contain heroin, and my best guess is that was not meant to be in there. Something tells me the cook was a junkie and may have done something to contaminate the batch. Same with cocaine, I think there's like 1 or 2 pills in history that had traces of coke. However, common street knowledge is as you said, lots of people believe E has opiates in it.
I've heard some pretty outlandish things about E/MDMA as well.
- Burns holes in your brain
- Use it once and you're addicted
- It takes a year to rebuild the lost serotonin from one roll, which actually may be somewhat trueish, but people seem to think this means you won't feel or act normal until then
- It does nothing but make you horny
- Turns you gay
There's also a reverse stigma about E that always bothers me as well. E seems to be somewhat more socially acceptable then meth, like, a lot of people who take E will gawk at the idea of meth, talk about how dirty it is, how you're scum if you use it, all those nasty things people say about meth. I always laugh though, because little do they know, chances are the pills they take already contain meth in the first place, but also, what's the difference!!?? Do you think your little E pills were made by Merck or something? That MDMA was cooked up in some illegitimate basement bathtub lab, with cheap materials and cut with who knows what else, EXACTLY LIKE THAT METH YOU SPEAK SO BAD ABOUT.
Not that just because I roll I'm gunna go buy a bag of crank, I'm just saying don't hate on meth when you willingly take it and something exactly like it.
Know what's a fun conversation to have? When someone brings up the whole "eww meth" thing, tell them what MDMA stands for. They usually have a pretty priceless look on their face.
How do people take drugs they know nothing about!?!? This freaking baffles me.
