Opinions - Has anyone here ever used Ecstasydata.org testing service?

[EndlessKnight]

My friend is thinking about using Ecstasydata.org pill testing service but before breaking down and spending that much money he was wonder how long, after receiving the pill, did it take for them to post results.

Anyone here have any experience with them, or any other relevant information they would like to share?

Oh, sorry, no wonder the search function didn't turn anything up. Please delete this thread.

This site is purely a harm-reduction site, users can mail in a pill sample along with money and they GC/MS the sample and post results long with the information about the pill given to them from the user.

Ecstasydata is managed by erowid and funded by dancesafe and MAPS. it is not a commercial website.

However due to lack of funds there is not much testing going on. For 2008 I only found 8 test results.

In 2004/2005 Drugs-Forum talked to the above parties in order to host the data on drugs-forum as well. The project was cancelled because testing by ecstasydata.org had practically come to a stop and there wasn't much new data to host.

It is still possible to use their service to test ecstasy, but this does cost $120 per tablet, which barely covers their costs.

Yes, that is what my friend is talking about doing but he wanted to know how it took for them to post results before spending that much money.

A decent test-kit would not cost you a bundle and would at least tell a monkey if it contained the molecule (MDMA) sought. Unfortunately, they are not specific enough to give one a "Quantitative" analysis. There are two types of analysis. Quantitative tells one how much of what is present. Qualitative tells one if such & such is present at all. The needed equipment for the quantitative analysis costs an arm and a leg.

Best Bet Dept: Monkey should seek pure crystal from a reliable source. This takes longer, of course, but costs a lot less than the other options: a- Popping unknown chemicals. b- Laying out $$$$$$$ for the quantitative testing gear - along with a course or 3 to learn to use it.

Test kits don't really tell you much of anything in my opinion. It might tell you that MDXX is present but not which one or how much or what else the rest of the crap is.

As for getting pure crystal, great in theory, impossible in practice. (at least where my friend lives)

I'm pretty sure that it is possible.

You just have to meet the good people in the good place. The rave scene (especially the psytrance scene) is full of pure products, if you have the patience to look around.

The shear fact that you think small remote towns in the U.S. have "rave scenes" mean you don't understand about how dry it is where my friend lives.

Trust me find pure MDMA crystal is not possible to find where my friend lives. And the closest town of any size (>100k pop.) is 400 miles aways.

Rave scenes are everywhere. And if it isn't close enough to you then you're not willing to drive far enough!

Well they are not in the small town my friend lives in thus by defination they are not "everywhere". Plus just because my friend likes MDMA does not mean he doesn't the likes the rave scene (he doesn't)

Thus driving 6 hours each way to look for something he may or may not find seems silly, especailly since if he "finds it" he will be in the same boat as he was before as in not knowing exactly what he has without having a lab test it.

Swib lives in a town of with maybe 1k. with in about 100 mile radius maybe 10k.
It is all farm land. 3 high schools with in these 100 miles maybe 700 students in each school. swib new people who used the library copying machine to make fliers and they got passed around the 3 high schools. This would usually bring lots of people even from other areas, to a remote plot of land or a farm house, someone’s basement, ect. Out of all these people some drove to the rave 6 hours each way or longer to buy substances because they loved they scene or to make money and sell at these parties where they lived. The people who drove the 6hrs usually would meet someone and have a regular supplier. It just takes time to enter a new scene and find a supplier. Your friend might not like the rave scene but surely can find one who does. A test kit is a better option if just buying a pill or two at least one has an idea if it contains a trace amount of MDxx . For the people going and buy qty they should use dancesafe so the know what they are selling

Raves are everywhere, all one needs is a set of turn tables and some speakers and a vehicle and you can take a "rave" anywhere.

As for time swib is not sure. One would think it would no be too quick the mail can be slow, than to perform the test and post it on the net, amounted with the lack of funds. Worth it if getting qty. But if just buying a few at a time the swib would use a testing kit and probably eat the pill long before the result was posted on the net.

But swib is a squirrel and bought in bulk when one did use dancesafe to know what swib has instead of chancing it with testing kits and random pills/powders. This was a few years ago and took almost a month, but had a long way to go by mail to reach dancesafe

Thanks for the info

My buddy Eddie used to use the ecstasydata service in the days before the full cost was borne by the consumer.

The prohibitively high cost of testing combined with the sad state of the 'ecstasy' market in the US caused him to not use much MDMA for a couple of years until he was able, through hard work, to find trustworthy sources for mostly pure material.

I should disclose that I am involved with the DanceSafe organization.

My friend is in the same boat as your friend but my friend has taken it a step further and stopped all illicit drugs and pretty much sticks to phramacuticals, mostly oxycodone and alprazolam, because he knows what he's getting down to the mg.

Of all the illicits he has done in the past the only 2 he misses are MDMA and LSD. He has accepted the fact that LSD is all but extinct anywhere near him but he still holds out hope for MDMA.
