Colours do matter?

[peacemaker]

I've ate something about 15 E pills in my life and what I've concluded,blue and red were always the best ones. White give a kick but it's just a kick with some love in it but these colourful were always totally loving like, great high! Do you think the same?

[Tony Blair]

Hehe.. Colour doesnt have anything to do with whats in it!



If SWIM food dye'd (or hairsprayed) some "whitey's" red, would they be better?



Probably yes, because we are all victims of placebo.

[peacemaker]

believe me,one time I had red and one time blue.10 of usate the same and all of us had the same feeling. Reds lifted me up to heaven like no whites ever. I know it sounds stupid but I believe the colour is somehow connected with quality. Maybe adding speed colours the pill? Maybe big concentration of mdma/mda colours the pill? heh, who knows?

[Tony Blair]

Its cool, have a read round here / erowid.org - colour has nothing to do with quality - glad you had a good time, anyway

Its funny, cuz MDMA as a crystalline powder is white .. SWIY would
rather just have pure powdered MDMA then a pill that has been dyed
colours to obviously mask its laced contents. Why cant dealers
just NOT BE GREEDY and NOT CUT!!!! It just leads to more
problems, more bad rolls, and ultimately more ammo for the DEA to
target MDMA and keep it completely illegal (when it has POWERFUL
theraputic uses). Anyways, rant over

[quinone]

O and to clarify, by not cut I mean not adding meth, DXM, caffeine or
other chems meant to mask the low quantity (quality?) of MDxA in their
product (not talking about binders and inert components)

[FloaterGirl]

i feel that!!! if there were more dealers who worried more about there people and less about there pockets we would all be alot safer..but hell what dealer would be a dealer if not for the money?

... and what colour is meth, DXM, caffiene or (psuedo)ephedrine?

Of course I agree though.



MDMA crystals / powder can be a dirty brown colour and unadulterated,
it just means it hasn't been "washed" (I forget the scientific name).

[quinone]

Well since meth is dirty as shit and made by novice addicts ... it can
be any colour =P. But yeah, in a perfect world we'd be able to
obtain pure MDMA crystals .

[ventrue]

well gee thats kind of a generalizing statement. some meth is dirty as shit because its made by crankheads, that works. lol. however, some people with PhD's in chemistry make meth and make it cleaner than the aspirin you buy.

I don't know where you live, but here in The Netherlands we don't have pills with dxm, pcp, coke and not-necessary ingredients like that. I can imagine that in the VS and such this happens a lot more (import from South-America), it all depends on the cost of making the pills and the country where that happens.

pills with coke, that's a joke

Well, according to certain testing points there really are pills with coke, though it's a minimum of coke in them. Check pillreports for the results.


I think this is because in some countries or regions it's cheaper for the producers to put some coke in them instead of mdma. Cocaine is really cheap incountries where it's made, cheaper than mdma.

[peacemaker]

Anyway, effect of such a pill would last 40 minutes. Would this make any sense?

[Boyv]

Not really, but anything sold as a pill is often considered as xtc by people who don't know any better. I don't think the producers of the pills which contain other stuff than mdma really care about what happens with the pills and how they work, as long as they get their money.

Levu must have been on X when u wrote the answers to be so nice

[ambrosius]

I'm in agreeance that color doesn't mean a thing. However, every blue pill SWIM took had at least some DXM in it, so I do agree that sometimes in certain areas, there are "trends." My speculation is thecreators in the area probably want a "trademark" of sorts to get their pills in demand.

[DJ-666]

You can also make blue spaghetti...but are they better then??? Just adding some food colours thats it.


If you buy a pill which is white and contains only 200mg dxm and a blue which contains 130mg MDMA then its clear what is better!!!

[raven3davis]

Color has absoultely nothing to do with contents, period. Just think about it. You could have two identical pills with completely different ingredients. One could be pure MDMA and the other just caffiene and asprin or some bunk shit. Logo/ color really ahs nothing to do with it although there might be some trends. You can make a pill andy color you want, it isnt going to change the effects. The ingredients are what really matter.

[ambrosius]

Exactly. Don't misunderstand me as I'm agreeing with that. I'm just sayingcolor/logo isa marketing gimmick.
