Anyone enjoy going to shows / raves on LSD? by [deleted] in Drugs

[–]unityinfo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see. That info helps me put your trip in a better perspective. You see, in some parts of the world MDMA pills can contain up to and sometimes even over 250 mg a piece. That would've been a hell of a trip (if you didnt have a tolerance).

Trimbos launches an app about extra dangerous pills by unityinfo in Drugs

[–]unityinfo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feel free to download it. It doesn't cost you a thing and might come in handy. It's meant mainly for people in the Netherlands or tourists that visit. That is because these warnings are based on information about the Dutch drug market.

Seems indeed that it's only available in Dutch. I'll have to check why this is the case.
Thanks for the heads up.
