Once again, thank you for all your support so far! I have been noticing even MORE new subscribers to my Substack, despite having not made any updates outside of this roundup in the last month. Even though I am working on some exciting projects that will help financially support my work, you can continually support by contributing on my Open Collective or signing up for a paid Substack subscription. You can also use my links to directly CashApp or Venmo funds. If you’re international and need PayPal, I can provide this on request.
To keep in touch with me, you can join me on my Discord, or join my Signal Channel for ad hoc updates and privileged information, and/or this Telegram Channel if you casually want to keep up with updates without joining my community. You can hit me up on Signal (@pmkg.87) / Telegram (@mohawkkellye) as well.
Attending Psychedelic Science 2025
As I mentioned in the last roundup, I’ve been asked to speak on a panel again at Psychedelic Science in June called “Stronger Together: How Communities Can Build Systems of Care for Safety and Resilience”. I have been quite unsuccessful in receiving any communication from those responsible for confirming my participation, as I have no intention of signing the speaker agreement as-is, but they’ve listed me as a “confirmed speaker” on the website after I submitted my picture and bio. For an unpaid gig that I’d be coming out of pocket a number of expenses for, the agreement is quite demanding. I was able to crowdfund the expenses and purchased a same-day roundtrip ticket to and from Denver on the day of my talk. I am not sure how the credentials will be handled since I’ve not signed the agreement, and all I get are reminders and no responses to any of my emails (despite it saying to email them with questions). Oh well!
Rebel Analytics Drug Checking and Test Kit Program
As also mentioned in the last roundup, I’m opening a drug checking shop that will offer my very own brand of testing tools, manufactured by the same folks who many of you have already entrusted when buying supplies from DanceSafe—hence, why the packaging looks largely the same. These will be offered at lower prices than DanceSafe offers and will include additional drug checking services with purchases made.
Rebel Analytics Livestreaming Discontinued
The 2 year anniversary of the Rebel Analytics drug checking livestreams was April 19th. As mentioned in the last roundup, I will no longer be streaming drug checking—only occasionally producing short form video content. Many of the livestream videos have been archived, but there are still a dozen or so in the YouTube playlist.
Recent Drug Checking Results:
In March, I sent off the “4-MMC” pill and the brown powder that was sold as “4-AcO-DMT” to get to the bottom of the initial results from the FTIR that had identified it as a benznidazole drug (specifically a Nitazene). The pill did in fact have MDMA in it, as presumed, however, it also included 3-CMC that I did not detect. Unfortunately, the mystery “4-AcO-DMT” chemical was protodesnitazene. According to other drug checking technicians, the BTNX Nitazene strips do not react to “desnitazene” drugs, hence the confusion of whether or not it was in the nitazene class. It’s a good thing that the participant did not “eat it” as a test.
Besides that, there haven’t been any particularly notable bunk substances. There was a chunky powder sold as amphetamine which was methamphetamine and a lot of MSM, and a purple Yoshi pill that was randomly gifted to someone was methamphetamine as well. Another sample of 4-AcO-DMT tested as 4-Pro-DMT Fumarate, and a random found orange pill tested as 4F-MPH HCl.
That’s a wrap. 🫡
