Drug Checking

Ecstasy pills vary wildly in MDMA content (50–300mg+) and frequently contain dangerous adulterants. ALWAYS test your pills before use. - drugsdata.org — Lab-tested pill results worldwide - pillreports.net — Community pill reports - DIMS (NL) — Dutch drug checking service - Saferparty.ch (CH) — Swiss drug checking - miraculix-lab.de — Reagent test kits Use reagent test kits (Marquis, Mecke, Simon's) to verify MDMA content.
