It’s common knowledge that those little pills you put down your throat late on Friday and Saturday nights are usually cooked up by some guy so gacked out of his brain he hasn’t strung a full sentence together since you learned how to walk. Knowing this, and given that ecstasy use is illegal and there’s no formal ranking system, society uses sites like Pill Report and EcstasyData to tell everyone what’s good and what’s bad.
This could just be an endless abyss of data only useful for those who like staying up all night, but Project Know, an organisation set on providing information about substance abuse, has turned it into something more useful. Namely, a examination of 25,000 pills over 10 years that lets users and abusers know exactly what they’re ingesting, broken down by country for ease of use.
The results are extremely informative for those who believe they’re actually purchasing MDMA each time they make a transaction in the local McDonald’s car park. If you can’t be bothered looking at the graph, it’s pretty easy to surmise – unless you’re in the Netherlands, only a small portion of your pingers are what you think they are.
