In this day and age, it's really easy to get burned when buying drugs, both figuratively and literally. Most people know that you don't buy drugs off the street, or from someone who will only let you look at the merchandise in a dark place. But what can you do if even under the best light, and sitting in someone's living room you are not able to identify a potential burn (such as buying Ecstasy)? We have just the solution for you
In San Francisco, you will encounter in some circles an organization by the name of Dance Safe. Their goal is to provide neutral information about recreational drugs. They believe in the old saying "knowledge is power". They also believe that everyone should have a good time without the threat of having someone sell you bunk crap, or worse.
The great thing about their services is that it's FREE. there's no cost to you to look over the pages, or to have a pill analyized. But send them in a donation. what they are doing benefits everyone, even if you don't dig drugs.

Both an afternoon and evening issues were released to the unsuspecting crowd of freaks attempting to in some small way experience the euphoria of the playa – if but for a brief afternoon far from the desolation of Northern Nevada.

Poor Metallica. All they want is to continue to put out the same weak "Heavy Metal" they've been churning out since the "And Justice For All" days? and make gooey wads of cash in the process. The problem is, people aren't buying their bound for the heavy metal scrap heap, over-produced, uninspired, tired crap. And let's face it, their various commercial endorsements won't pay for the lifestyle they've become comfortably accustomed to. Resorting to lawsuits makes perfect sense, when you need spending money.
