The Marquis Reagent is a commonly used chemical reagent testing kit. It is made from sulphuric acid and is extremely strong, so it should be handled with care. Moreover, it can cause severe burns to the skin, clothing, eyes, and mouth. To avoid these harmful reactions, it is best to wear latex gloves when handling the reagents. After testing, dispose of used reagents in baking soda.

How to Use a Marquis Reagent Testing Kit

To use Marquis Reagent testing kits, you need to place a tiny amount of the drug on a white ceramic blotter. This amount of powder is about the size of a matchstick head or a grain of rice. Remove the cap and tilt the bottle until you see the drop falls out. It will take between 30 to 60 seconds for the color to change. Be sure not to touch the tip of the bottle, or else the drug will not come out.

The reagents should be stored properly. Keeping the reagent containers tightly closed is essential to avoid spills. Reagent containers should not be reused, and the caps must be firmly screwed on. It is important to clean all reagent equipment after use. The color comparator should be in good condition. It should not have cracks or faded colors. It should also not have moisture between the printed standards and clear acrylic protector. If the test cells are stained, they must be replaced immediately with diluted muriatic acid.

The Toll on Adulterated Ecstasy Deaths Has Risen

If you don’t want to risk getting a needle stuck in your mouth, get a Marquis Reagent Testing kit and make sure you are safe. That is why you should test your molly! Stay safe and educated!

A Testing Kit Can Save Lives

Using a reagent is a great way to ensure the accuracy of your results. In the case of drugs, it’s important to have a reliable and accurate test to ensure that your results are accurate. With a high-quality reagent, you can be sure that your marijuana is safe. You can test the substance at the airport by identifying the amount of THC in the substance.

The Marquis Reagent is an aqueous solution that is dripped onto the substance of interest. Its presence causes a bright blue coloration and indicates the presence of opioids. However, a single drop of the drug can affect a person differently. For instance, an overdose is more likely to be fatal than a non-overdose. By contrast, a urine sample is not a reliable test if it contains no traces of the drug.

What does Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or PTSD conjure up for you? War veterans back from their battles abroad? Perhaps. But you don’t have to fight overseas to experience trauma. There are natural disasters, loss of loved ones, and many other experiences that can leave a permanent mark of emotional distress. PTSD sufferers often relive the trauma, experience anxiety, drug abuse and insomnia. Unfortunately, current medications are not very effective in treating this condition.

MDMA Found to be Effective in Treating PTSD

But a recent, pretty startling discovery has provided PTSD sufferers with some hope: MDMA, or the drug known on the street as ecstasy, was found to be very effective in treating PTSD for the long term. The first study showed such strong improvements in the patient’s well being that the effect was over 3 times stronger than that required to achieve statistical significance. The second study repeated the treatment and followed up with the patients for a period of two years. Even after two years, over 80% of the patients still showed significant improvement.

The Study

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) concluded phase II trials MDMA (aka Ecstasy or Molly) in November, 2016, and the drug has now been approved for phase III testing in the treatment acute post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Although there is strong consideration for the legalization medical MDMA, the prescription process would be far more restrictive when compared to other prescription narcotics. In limited trials, patients suffered from PTSD received a dose MDMA in a controlled environment and then participated in extensive talk-therapy. According to the resolved research, more than two-thirds patients who participated in phase II trials have sustained remission PTSD symptoms.

A total 80 licensed therapists have been tasked with participating in the FDA’s phase III testing. Of those is NYU’s director addiction medicine, Stephen Ross. Ross has setup what he calls a “dosing room” in which he administers MDMA to patients and then engages them with talk-therapy for 8 consecutive hours. If the FDA ultimately approves MDMA for medicinal use, it will only be available in a residential program. It will not be available through a pharmacy with a prescription.

Treatment Setting is Very Important

MDMA can be dangerous. At higher doses, it can cause a life-threatening rise in body temperature or hyperthermia, dehydration as well as a deadly collection of symptoms known as Seratonin Syndrome. It is also a disinhibitory, euphoric and slightly hallucinogenic drug so the treatment setting is very important.

But if the drug is taken in small doses under clinical supervision, it holds great promise for many sufferers of PTSD.
