This capsule was mailed enclosed inside a plastic vial in a normal paper envelope with no cushioning to protect it from mail sorting machines. The envelope arrived torn, the vial could have easily been lost in the mail.
In general, please take precautions to mail samples in sturdy envelopes. Tyvek is ideal, bubble envelopes are ok. If they contain hard contents like capsules and especially vials it's important to cushion them with bubble wrap.

Should the public have access to independent analysis of the products they consume?
The vast majority of analyses of over-the-counter, prescription, and recreational drugs are performed in secret with no independent oversite or review. No other historical record, free from politically-controlled agencies, is currently available in North America nor most other parts of the world.
DrugsData, a project of Erowid Center, needs the support of professionals, students, parents, individuals with means, and small foundations for a total yearly budget of around $120,000 USD. Erowid Center's general budget and the co-pays we require fund most of this cost.
