There are lots of dangers with XTC because you never know what a pill may
contain, what substance its been laced with or is it really XTC? Even if
its real XTC which i doubt there really is, if there is maybe 10% of pills
claimed to be ecstacy are really ecstacy. Ecstacy is really easy to
overdoze on and lots of people have alergic reactons which cannot be
totally good..If your planning on doing XTC buy it from someone you trust
and remember to take .5 the first time to test it out.
What might ecstasy contain?
While the quality of ecstasy, in the UK at least, has been high over the
past year, pills which contain a mix of MDMA/MDEA and other ingredients,
or which are made up entirely of other substances altogether are always around.
Pills sold as ecstasy might contain other psychoactive substances,
commonly amphetamine (speed). LSD (acid) has been found on occasions in a
small number of pills. 2-CB has appeared in 'ecstasy' but is more often
sold under its own name. Caffeine is frequently found in fake ecstasy.
Ephedrine, used as an ingredient in 'herbal ecstasy', has side-effects
similar to those of MDMA, such as a racing heart and dry throat, which
remind a user of being on e. However, just because it is legal does mean
that it is necessarily safe.
Ketamine, an anaesthetic, is ocasionally found in 'ecstasy' and produces
very different effects to ecstasy.
Aspirin and other over-the-counter or prescribed medications have been
found mixed in pills, or simply passed off as e.
Potentially more dangerous substances have occasionally been found in
batches of pills sold as ecstasy.
Last year atropine, a prescription drug which can be dangerous if
overdosed, was found in pills with certain logos.
4-MTA was discovered in a batch of pills earlier this year, and was linked
to deaths in Holland and the UK.
Recently, DXM has been sold as e. DXM may be used on its own
recreationally but may cause problems if mixed with ecstasy.
For examples of what laboratory tests have shown certain pills to contain
look at the test results page. When looking at test results always
remember that pills which look the same do not necessarily contain the
same ingredients. Testing a pill is the only way to determine exactly what is in it.
