A speckled brown round tablet with a Louis Vuitton-style marking sold as MDMA contains caffeine and methamphetamine according to this Ecstasydata.org entry. Reagent drug checking results were as follows: Marquis – light orange (brownish), Mecke – very slight change to yellow-brown, and Mandelin – no reaction. The press pill was sourced in Lafayette, Louisiana.

Meanwhile, in Santa Cruz, CA, a red Redbull press pill sold as MDMA tested as N-Ethylpentylone, a substituted cathinone structurally similar to pentylone. Reagent drug checking results were as follows: Marquis – yellow, Mecke – yellow, and Mandelin – yellow.

We urge our community to keep in mind that drug markets are expansive and these substances may appear in locations other than the submissions’ origins. Always test before you ingest to avoid ingesting highly adulterated or misrepresented substances. If you test a misrepresented substance, submit your drug checking results to us to be featured in a #TestIt Alert. Purchase your DanceSafe drug checking kit here.
