E. How can I tell whether or not an ecstasy pill is pure? Many times ecstasy pills will contain some substance other then ecstasy. Sometimes these substances are drugs, other times they are fillers. This can pose a danger if the ecstasy is mixed with a stronger more potent drug, partly because the individual taking it is not prepared for its effects. They may have also already taken a drug that may mix dangerously with ecstasy and whatever else is in it. The only way to know if an ecstasy pill is pure is to use a testing kit. These can easily be purchased online and will allow users to know in a matter of minutes whether or not the ecstasy they have purchased is pure. The process is simple. An individual will need to scrape a little bit of the drug off and put it in a special solution. It will turn a certain color if it is pure. Sometimes, raves and clubs will have these kits available onsite.
