Did you get an answer? Im on verge of sending them message, but not entirely convinced and don't want to waste time composing detailed email for nothing.
 
Hi folks. A message from the researchers heading this study:

Right now the study is doing very good, have a much bigger engagement from bluelight, with a total of 150 applications that resulted in 50 consolidated participants that have sent about 60 samples, from which 15 have been fully reported on.

Go Bluelight!!! :)
 
The controlled study sounds interesting, I'm only in of its opiate based drugs

Because while i participate on Bluelight to the extent of assisting with harm reduction with personal experience, i have concluded that such collected information whether attained with good nature or to condemn, usually in some way shape or form is either misconstrude from public documents, or shared and leaked where they're formulated in a particular way that makes the substance(s) that are subject to the study regarded in some way a negative light, and while i can respect the entire aspect or EC-I i have vowed never to contribute to the prohibition nor banning of substances due to potential risks, even those that may be extremely fatal such as carfentanil etc, while i believe some control should be exerted to a certain extent, i also can't possibly contribute towards the potential positive aswell as tenative negative outcome of the review/study and whom else has access to and or uses the information acquired, i'll consider this when i'm not extremely intoxicated, i can't possibly make any decisions in my condition except for finding a way to drink more water

Stay safe Zonxx
 
I am using a drug called spravoto, it works a little better than anything else , I wish could get in a better trial for psychodelic reach. Any thing is better than the alternative, it end ugly.

No way, research Chems sound scary lol

I had a guy sell me something one occasion, he said it was meth.

It was DEFINITELY not meth.
It was fun at the time but THE WORST COME DOWN IVE EVER HAD.

I only wish I knew what it was.
I’ve deduced research chem simply because I know it’s cheap, easy to get hold of and he had a LOT on him
He didn’t even weigh my bag, he just had this brown paper bag of stuff that looked a little like crystal meth but the shards weren’t quite right.

From what I read online it seemed to be research chems. It didn’t last very long

Probably he said "meph" as in MEPHEDRONE AS IN 4, METHYL METH as in 4mmc mcat meow meow etc etc

I joined, though i am a little wary of shipping drugs (legal or not) overseas to spain for GCMS testing. That said, I will likely send samples in for testing. I wonder if it includes quantification (aside from mere identification). I also wonder if they will test plant material, though I doubt it.

If it helps I have sent drugs to ec from uk many times over the years with no prob!
 
Hello,
I would like participe tyour research about nps.

Please see the below invitation to participate in the GRASP research project!


Global Research and Analysis of new Substances Project

Hello Bluelighters

My name is Marc Grifell Guàrdia, and I am contacting you to ask for your collaboration on a research project I am developing with the collaboration of the three institutions I belong to: Energy Control (EC), the Autonomous University of Barcelona (AUB), Columbia University (CU) and the Hospital del Mar Research Institute (IMIM).

The principal investigator of this study is Marc Grifell Guàrdia, from Hospital del Mar research Institute (IMIM) and Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB). The research team is comprised of leading figures in the field like Dr. Carl Hart from Columbia University and Dr. Mireia Ventura from Energy Control, as well as members of different online communities.

The name of the project is GRASP (Global Research and Analysis of new Substances Project) and has been approved by the IMIM’s Institutional Review Board (CEIC).

The goal is to provide fast and reliable information about the subjective effects of new psychoactive substances (NPS) as they emerge in internet communities. We believe that there is a gap between trip reports or discussions and controlled trials with healthy volunteers. We want to implement a new methodology combining the speed of the self-reported information with the reliability of controlled trials.

For this reason, we invite you to help us develop this project. If you decide to participate, you will be invited to a private forum where free drug checking services will be provided to all participants (GC/MS and HPLC). There, you will asked to systematically report the effects of the NPS you have decided to test. Also, we hope you will engage in a discussion with the research team to design the second phase of this study. We believe that people like you can make a difference in the development of scientific knowledge if provided with the necessary tools. With your help, we will make self-experimentation a valid source of scientific knowledge. We hope that the reliable, balanced and timely information produced in this study will be able to shape drug policy.

If you want to participate, please send an email to [email protected]. We want to protect both your virtual and physical identity, so the only identifiable information will be the email address from which you send the message. Do not add any other information. Please make sure it’s anonymous and you check it regularly. You will receive a time-sensitive invitation there within the next 24 hours. You will have 72 hours after receiving the invitation to register.

Thank you very much on behalf of the entire research team,
Marc Grifell Guàrdia

Is this study still active! Would be great to be involved in...
 
I'm curious about this but drug checking services? Does this mean I have to send in a sample of my drugs for them to check? Because I wouldn't do that, I don't think that is a very smart idea.
Are THEY sending out drugs for people to, like, check out? In that case I also wouldn't do that probably lol
 
Do they accept people from outside the US? I've researched more novel substances than I have should probably, so you might be interested in my contribution. Additionally I might have use for the mentioned forum/service. And private/hidden things raise my interest.

By drug checking, they mean that you send a sample of drugs, they analyse them to see what they contain, then they return the results to you - usually alongside some tailored harm reduction advice. Drug checking is available in over 20 countries and has been operating for many decades. If it weren't for prohibition we wouldn't need drug checking, but it's a good stop-gap given that people can't get some types of drugs from regulated manufacturers...
