The fact is that unless you have manufactured the substance yourself you can’t be 100 per cent certain of its ingredients.
The drugs world is full of stories about indiscriminate illicit drug manufacturers who cut their product with all kinds of rubbish to make their profits go further.
Organised crime controls the drugs business and members of organised crime gangs are not noted for their morality.
It’s money they’re interested in, lots of it.
And they’re happy to make it whatever the cost.
The price is usually paid, unfortunately, by the poor mug who becomes addicted to their dubious product for whatever reason and who often ends up at rock-bottom in society. Or dead.
Most people in law enforcement will tell you that despite millions of dollars being spent on the unwinnable war on drugs availability of illicit substances has never been a problem for those who wish to use such stuff.
But perhaps the dumbest place of all to go shopping for illegal drugs would be the internet.
Local police investigating the trafficking of LSD and ecstasy have arrested a local teenager for purchasing drugs online from a “drugs supermarket’’.
The fact that such a store actually exists would be surprising enough for most people, but the thought that someone would be daft enough to buy drugs from it beggars belief.

LSD, while not usually fatal, can produce frightening hallucinations that can leave the users highly disturbed.
Neither drug is recommended for use by people with an existing mental condition of any kind. Both drugs are Class A and highly dangerous.
The simple message here is don’t use them and definitely don’t buy them from some shady organisation on the internet purporting to be something it isn’t.
You’re asking for trouble.
