Even though this thread is a bit dated now, it's still shocking to realize the dangers present. I'm involved in some online communities where you can spot tons of sellers pushing these products. There seem to be dozens of them sending stuff to folks in the States, all promoted in a single spot on the regular internet. Lots of items listed as prescription drugs turn out to be fake versions made from experimental substances mixed with fillers and dyes.
I care a lot about safety and always check what I get. I've come across uppers mixed with opioids for some odd reason, and even scarier stuff like certain animal tranquilizers and similar compounds.
A while back, someone inquired about verifying if their benzo was real or a stronger substitute. I suggested using chemical test kits and detection strips because they had no clue those existed. Recently they got back saying the results showed opioids and mostly the risky substitute instead. Their thanks seemed heartfelt, and it's got me thinking about donating time or money to safety efforts. Things are rough, with most originating overseas, processed locally into pills or whatever, and sent out widely.
I even set aside one or two from my research peptide orders to check them with the same methods, and thankfully nothing bad turned up. The idea of something going wrong and affecting people here is upsetting. Maybe I'm exaggerating the risks, but I've connected with others in this space and want to look out for them. If anything shows up in my own stuff, I'll share it right away.
