http://i.imgur.com/LmirWZg.jpg I've received Molly from HOS in the past but never this dark. Reagent test shows it's Molly so I'm not worried. Just wondering if anybody else has received same product or if she might be implementing new batch from new source.
Yeah I would definitely wash that before consuming. In fact, you could recrystallize it from boiling IPA very easily in your kitchen and have a refined product in no time.
Now you might be thinking, yeah but I've taken dirty brown & black molly before & was totally a mash head & all that… Fine. But this looks like it could have quantities of toxic mercuric chloride given the color of the product and the ubiquity of the HgAl amalgam amination.
Check out these photos from the Rhodium/Hive archives of said synthesis … in fact, here's the write-up w/ pics of a very common, HgAl amalgamation that uses nitromethane to produce methylamine in situ:

In particular, look at these:
Yummo… … see what I'm saying? That color is bad. Now notice what it looks like after he's done with a simple recrystallization from boiling IPA & an acetone wash…
Like pure white snow! BIG difference, both in appearance, and effect… (and lack of toxic impurities, too, I might add). I'll grant you though – it's cool the first few times, but it gets old. Why don't the chemists handle this anymore? Stronger product, less smell, less harm to people…
Just talked to a vendor this past week who says he gets it directly from the chemist & washes the product himself. I guess his price is killer… But he doesn't do the best job at it, and it still has discoloration. To quote Mugatu (in Zoolander): "Doesn't anyone notice this? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills."
