I sometimes wonder about impurities, esp if its someone else's product, and the someone else is unknown
the last time I had a heavy metal test (a while ago 10yrs) although I grew up in the city with lots of cars and leaded petrol, my Pb levels were ND (not detected)
Hg was Trace amounts (not measurable)
the winner was Cadmium
go figure? I just dont know where the exposure came from, unless it was the paint in the house I grew up in...I didnt chew pencils 
and I didnt lick eat the paint 
So now being more familiar with whats required to make things "clean" and pure, I wonder how dirty a lot of commercial MDxx is? and everything else- (outside of Holland
)
After all, folks usually test for the compounds they want, not the ones they dont, so aside from various mp assays seen, I cannot recall seeing any street drugs being tested for impurities, and I can people cutting corners, so to speak, to get a product to market...
(I dont spend much time with forensic journals, although I have read some very interesting articles in a few, so please pardon my ignorance here)
People talk od MDxx's neurotoxicity, and yet I wonder how many other "things" are left over that might in themselves be far worse like Hg Al compounds which arent readily metabolised...and are accumulated in the body
Experiences/Ideas?
