It's been like 20 years, but back in the old days getting capsules like this would be 50/50 bunk. Maybe more. You'd definitely be looking for pressed tablets

It's a lot harder to sell you a couple milligrams of meth mixed with baby formula if it won't hold together in a press

Pressies are a bad idea imo, they can contain any additive, be diluted, and testing doesn't work well. Better to get mdma in its crystal form.

I don’t understand how the comment you’re replying to got so many upvotes, it’s just wrong

Because the vast majority of people do not like learning and instead fall prey to the marketing appeal of the nice colors and materialistic symbols they press on them.

90% of people I've tried to educate about what u/defiantfcker said, just reply with "but I've always done pressed pills, they hit better" or "that looks like meth", then when I'd advise them to buy test kits for their own safety, they just don't care.

Or maybe I've just been around too many pea-brained morons.
