I am noticing that you can buy TLC plates with fluorescent indicators. Would that make the separation more visible?
For UV detection of colorless substances, our classical silica TLC plates are available with two types of inorganic fluorescent indicators: green fluorescing F254, or blue fluorescing, acid-stable F254s. Both indicators fluoresce in UV light at an excitation wavelength of 254 nm. Samples which absorb shortwave UV at 254 nm are detected due to fluorescence quenching. We also offer special high-fluorescence LuxPlates®, which contain a larger amount of fluorescent indicator for more enhanced detection.
If a Marquis test showed dark purple to black for my MDMA crystal, does that mean there is definitely not any or at least not a lethal amount of PMA/PMMA in my MDMA?
Did you make them aware of the problems of past gcms testing and what your trying to achieve?@ThreePointCircle I am looking now. Are you talking about the spot at the very top of the liquid? I definitely see it. But, I have no experience with TLC. Hopefully someone else will chime in.
It makes sense to me that the contaminant, if it exists, would react similarly to MDMA with reagent tests.
Update: Today I sent two Meh samples for GCMS analysis. Hoping to receive the full GCMS results from both. Fingers crossed that this yields some good information.

Hopefully it yeilds resultsYes, 100%. They are very aware of the situation.
how your theory took into account the new users who found meh to be meh and magic to be magic, and you never replied.
After reading Mars2025 post, do you see the point of documenting the objective physiological differences between Meh and Magic ?Is the point to gather biological data on mdma or the difference between meh and magic?
Same source:
"The feeling of insufficient energy and lack of spark that I'd felt before had become something quite strong, and might be characterized as a firm feeling of negativity about everything that had to be done and everything I had been looking forward to. So I set about my several tasks with no pleasure or enjoyment and I hummed a little tune to myself during these activities which had words that went: 'I shouldn't have done that, oh yes, I shouldn't have done that, oh no, I shouldn't have done that; it was a mistake.' Then I would start over again from the beginning. I was stuck in a gray space for quite a while, and there was nothing to do but keep doing what I had to do. After about 6 hours, I could see the whole mental state disintegrating and my pleasant feelings were coming back. But so was my plain, ornery tiredness.

No, the problem is more ubiquitous nowadays when you consider the objective physiological reactions of young virgin users - not old tired polydrug users.This problem occurs today just as it did 20 years ago.
How can you be so sure?It is also not specific to synthesis route or to MDMA.
If the contaminants are a minority like @ThreePointCircle has just detected and @indigoaura's lab result have reported, then it would be more correct to state that it is not pure MDMA anymore.Yes, there may have been a "lucky" reaction whose precursors or byproducts were themselves psychoactive MDxx, but that's not MDMA anymore.
That's what this thread is about.To prove that something is wrong with "today's MDMA," you really need to prove that something is wrong with MDMA made by Dutch megalabs, as that's the majority of the world's supply.
That's true about the green ones, but the blue ones are acid-stable. Do you plan to use acids in your solvent system? Does your sample contain any acids ? ...who knows.I'm not an expert on the different options, but I'm guessing their green one would be better for digital cameras as they normal have more pixels given over to green than blue or red.
That's true about the green ones, but the blue ones are acid-stable.
I am not sure what your vested interest is here. You came onto the thread, pushing hard for Q-Dance pills. You even sent me private messages encouraging me to buy Q-Dance pills. I cannot help but wonder what your motivation is. I always find it a bit odd when a new user to Bluelight comes to this thread to argue heavily for the quality of one specific brand of pill.
That is true, but that variation is small.There are genetic variations that could make one sub-population more sensitive to a contaminant than another sub-population, which is not something that we have discussed in detail here.
Then I have a piece of advice for him. Find out why the pills of his competition are Meh, publish the difference illustrating it with two different spectrograms and enjoy the increased sales.Haha. Yeah, not the first time something like that has happened via this thread. Makes a bit more sense now.
Excellent!Then I have a piece of advice for him. Find out why the pills of his competition are Meh, publish the difference illustrating it with two different spectrograms and enjoy the increased sales.
If he does that, I will be the 1st to take a drive to Amsterdam and buy 100g of these superior Q-dance pills.
It doesn't matter who. It is a good marketing advice for any proponent of a certain product.I should clarify, I wasn't talking about @mars2025 but someone else behaving similarly
