Here is Australia's first official #pilltesting service in numbers:
128 participants
85 samples tested
50% was 'other' (lactose, sweetener, paint)
50% was pure MDMA
2 of the samples were deadly
So, harm reduced.
We did it.

"Half of the pills that we tested in fact contained nothing active that we could detect, but a rather
entertaining array of contaminants including a polish brand of toothpaste," Dr Caldicott said.
Dr Caldicott said some festival goers were deterred from taking the pills after learning what was in them.

Good to see, on this one, Australia is catching up to some parts of the U.S.A.
As Australian authorities prevent pill testing, the US is quietly telling festivalgoers all about their drugs
SNIFFER dogs routinely surround Australian festivalgoers looking for drugs but in
parts of the US the cops are taking a new approach that some say saves lives.

It was Plato who said, “He, O men, is the wisest, who like Socrates, knows that his wisdom is in truth worth nothing”
