Ten Key Points? - your thoughts...

Whoops! Guess i was quite ambiguous with that statement eh? What i meant was that it would be the "he"s out there that wanna know why XLR8's pussy tingles (can't help but to keep repeating the statement in full
wink.gif
) i know i would

.
 
JB doesn't Dancesafe have a Facts page for each drug, where it states what it is, side effects and legalities. Could be helpful to you.
I thought the page was great because it doesn't condone or discourage drug use, but simply gives you the facts.
 
The only problem about the legalities on Dancesafe would be the fact that they are an American site...therefore different laws to us. Even better info site in my opinion is erowid.
...a tingly pussy ey?...hmmm...

yup i was planning to link to that dancesafe stuff anyway, you see you can link to anything you want, its not plagarism, oh and they say it much better than i could anyways.
so the idea is a brief hundred word paragraph on these topics with links to onsite stuff (ie essential threads and posts here) as well as off-site resources (erowid, dancesafe, etc)
but i think its clear that the main reason for all this is local issues
now the legalities issue is one i hadn't thought of but is a great idea. it is specific local info that everyone should know. the thing is i dont think we have much info on that. any law students or lawyers around?

it would be great to have a brief breakdown of state-by-state, and indeed country-by-country, possesion laws and perhaps some contact numbers for legal aid etc...
anyone got some info or links on these?

*bump* i'd love to see more contributions to this. by that i mean people writing an answer to one of the ten questions... go on, give it a go

Anyone who needs information about the scene in Asia, feel free to ask me. Although my knowledge is not too extensive nor detailed, i guess it still beats none whatsoever. By scene i mean everything from culture to law to pills. Additionally, the so-called scene in Asia is widely varied from country to country ( We ARE one of the most diversified regions in the world) so what i could tell you would most likely be peculiar to South-East Asia.
I'd write it up myself if i could be arsed but i can't

. In anycase, the information i could provide is only a fraction of what's needed.

bump
is anyone going to give answering the questions a go? I think this is a good idea and shouldn't be far from the top of the page.
It's good to see the signature's are back

It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice
 
Without wanting to try and be too verbose, or too concise, here is my first attempt:
How do I know what's in my pill?
In theory, the contents of a pill sold as "ecstacy" can be anything. Ideally, the contents will be anything between 50mg-150mg of methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) but in practice, the contents can be just as much of a gamble and risk as the initial purchase of such a pill. There are many reasons that a pill may contain other drug or non-drug ingredients, the primary one is cost of production. To make a cheaper pill (especially in the likeness of an existing "good" pill that has circulated), chemists may substitute other drugs in an attempt to churn out a quick batch of drugs that cashes in on the popularity of a pill type.
The short answer is that you can never be certain on the exact contents of a pill, but indications can be gleaned from the use of an EZ-Test. This test will give an idea as to what kinds of chemicals (MDxx family, Speed, 2CB, DXM) are present, but short of gas chromatography, there is no quantitative measure.
Other information (most recent information from the area where the pill was purchased is usually most applicable) may be available at www.pillreports.com, www.dancesafe.org, www.the-peak.com.au, and www.bluelight.ru, to name a few possible sources. It should be noted, however, that all information should be taken "with a grain of salt" because as usual, you can never believe all that you read. If in doubt, EZ-Test the pill for yourself, and insist on it. Do not take anybody's "word" for the contents of a pill you are unsure about, because in terms of your personal safety and health, their word is as good as the paper it isn't printed on.
What is an E-Z Test?
E-Z Test® is a trade name for an indicating test kit containing Marquis Reagent. The reagent reacts to to several substances, changing colour dependent upon the contents of the pill sample tested. See www.ez-test.com for more information on this essential test.

What is 5-HTP, and where can I get it?
5-HTP (5-Hydroxytryptophan) is an amino acid, which is the precursor to seratonin. 5-HTP is actually the intermediate step between tryptophan and serotonin. 5-HTP is often used to help people bodies generate seratonin faster, when it is depleted. Normal activities related to lifestyle and diet can result in depleted seratonin levels in the brain, as can the use of ecstacy. Some of the many symptoms of low brain seratonin levels are food cravings (often counteracted by amphetamines), bouts of depression, frequent headaches, and vague muscle aches and pain (also exacerbated by extended periods of activity such as dancing). These symptoms are correctable by raising brain serotonin levels. Natural sources of 5-HT such as bananas, and turkey meat can assist, but 5-HTP is very much more effective. 5-HTP is quite effective as an anti-depressing agent, often effective in people who do not respond well to normal anti-depressants. 5-HTP is "quickly effective, restores depressed people to their former selves [and] is entirely without side effects" (Source: MT Murray PhD, "5-HTP: The natural way to overcome depression, obesity and insomnia").
There is a wealth of information on 5-HTP, including pre/post-loading, perceived side-effects, purchase information and usage guidelines contained in the Australia/Asia/NZ Drug Discussion EVERYONE READ! FAQ (both in what is now referred to as the "deep FAQ" and also in the "definitive list" of 5-HTP posts).
