I know they have machines for it, but all I know is they probably don't use any kind of binder or anything. That's why they break apart so easily?

aloha

there is no standard- either for the binder or the active contents. All to frequently neither are of particular quality.

Considering it's usually chemists who make ecstasy (college students in lots of cases), I'd say it would be pretty tricky to figure out. Just put the MDMA in a gel cap?

SWIM doubts most pressed pills (the common kind with logos) are made by college students.

College students probably make MDMA and capsule it. You need to be pretty set up to be making the kind of pills we see in the states.

is corn starch and glucose one of the agent in use..

you would be surprised to find the type of people who press pills, and the reason for pressing is simple; easier to move around. and beyond that it allows for cutting of the MDMA. not everyone is ready to pop a gel cap of molly their first couple rolls. the presses themselves help people identify their specific pills. similar to the idea of having different names for different strands of weed, its the same idea; dealers naming their pills and it allowing people to figure out the different active ingredients in them. most of the time they contain simple binders that can be bought at medical supply stores, they are the same binders that are in pill like advil and tylenol. check your pills before you take them or at least test them to find out what is really in them.

The binder used to hold the pill together is or was in swims time (10 years ago) a food binder used for cauliflower sauce (to make it sauce thicker and stick together) at least in The Netherlands and the color was a coloring for food mainly used for baking.

Friends of swim bought it whole sale and the people selling the food binder were aware what it was used for and were over pricing it... Then friends of swim discovered that one of the main supper market were selling packets for cauliflower sauce. And swim bought the shelfs empty !!!

Yes
Pharm companies have pill presses in which binds the meds together.
They had some pretty basic pill presses which could be used if you didnt have to mass produce them.SwiMC saw one on bayE for $300
You can also obtain gel caps and put some gloves on and fill them by hand!
