Pill Testing Kits
October 1st 2008 12:24
PMA is something nasty. It’s a drug, a hallucinogenic that is powerful, and has been known to cause death.
The most dangerous thing about PMA, is that it is so often taken accidentally. Ravers or other drug users often take it expecting to receive the less risky drug MDMA/MDA, better known as Ecstasy.
This inability to be able to accurately tell one drug as distinct from another highlights the reason for the popularity of pill testing kits.
A pill testing kit is effectively the same thing as any Chemistry set – it contains a number of reactive chemicals which turn different colours depending on the chemicals present in any given substance. For instance one chemical will turn a certain colour when exposed to MDMA, but a different colour when exposed to PMA.
Pill testing kits have also come under fire from various sources, as they may lead to the impression that pills are safe.

Pill Testing can help you know if you're about to eat pain medication, or a Bikie someone else has added to the container.
