in the past shit was pretty well controlled, you had a good number of presses, pills, whatever that were known and reviewed and verifiable. with the capsules and powders, it's a crap shoot, and there is a proliferation of shoddy pills now, too. i am not into this shit but i know a lot of people who are and comparing the scene now to then, that's the major difference i see. most of a street drug than a community thing now.
