USE AND ABUSE OF DRUG CHECKING BY CRYPTOMARKET VENDORS : EnergyControl | Torhoo darknet markets

This is an official statement by DoctorX & his Chemical Brothers and Sisters.

Our International Drug Checking Service was launched in 2014 to expand Energy Control’s core Harm Reduction strategy worldwide. Cryptomarket users have been one of our main goals and in this period Energy Control International has gained enough reputation to be considered a trustworthy source of information.

The acceptance of Drug Checking Services (DCS) iS increasing worldwide. However, DCS have to adhere to some strict criteria. One of them is that “final drug users“ is the specific target to whom this intervention is directed. Any single, specific test result is only representative for the sample the user provides us.

Things are more complicated in cryptomarkets. We insist in the idea that “a test result is only representative of a sample and can’t be used as guarantee of a vendor or product”.

But we inevitably receive samples from vendors. And some vendors make these results public, announcing their products as “EC tested”, and providing the (alleged) test result and the lab code.

We want to clarify that this is not a general complaint against all vendors who test their products with our IDCS. We believe that the potential of vendors and cryptomarkets administrators as relevant harm reduction agents should be considered and evaluated.

But we have found the following problems related with codes provided by vendors in cryptomarket products:

1) Information provided by some vendors is incoherent with our techniques.
2) Transcription problems
3) Selective publishing of results
4) “EC tested” and “high purity” do not mean “safe”
5) Inadequate use of our brand and logo.
6) Paleolithic codes

We insist in the idea that this report is not a complaint against vendors that use our Drug Checking Service. But we want to clarify that providing a code or advertising a product as “tested by Energy Control” can´t be used as a guarantee for any market, vendor o product. We think that (at least some) vendors have a great potential as harm reduction agents.

We are studying strategies to promote this role without breaking current legal framework and how to avoid inadequate use of our test results. We are open to cryptomarkets community ideas, suggestions, opinions and criticisms.
