		When a partyer hands them a pill, DanceSafe volunteers scrape off a sample, place a droplet of a chemical solution on it and determine by the color change whether a drug is ecstasy -- or possibly an even more dangerous fake.
		DanceSafe, they say, may actually serve to encourage drug use by telling potential users a pill is pure.
		DanceSafe, which was founded in Oakland three years ago, has chapters in almost 30 cities, from New York to San Francisco, and Madison, Wis., to Pittsburgh.

	The Ecstasy and the Agony / Group tries to reduce risk by testing pills
		But members of DanceSafe, a nationwide group born last year in a Berkeley apartment, say they are educating their mostly teenage and twentysomething audience about drugs and their dangers in a more effective style than the antidrug rhetoric preached in schools and commercials.
		DanceSafe was started last year in Sferios' apartment with $3,000 of his own money.
		While DanceSafe also distributes condoms, ear plugs and fruit -- usually their most popular attraction -- at raves and clubs, pill-testing and drug education are the group's core purpose.

		Of all the materials DanceSafe provided to the museum, the only item to make it into the show was a postcard on the dangers of hearing loss.
		To add insult to injury, the exhibit also distorted DanceSafe's drug education and harm reduction mission statement, making the group appear as if it were devoted to sonic harm reduction, not reducing the harms of drug use under prohibition.
		"DanceSafe was selected for SAFE is because we are in awe of their approach to safety by means of harm reduction," she said in an e-mail.

		DanceSafe was founded by Emanuel Sferios last year ostensibly to fill a market need for a screening service to those who "are going to do it anyway." Their service seems timely considering the proliferation of potentially lethal fake versions of Ecstasy currently flooding the drug market.
		But parents and drug enforcement officials say that DanceSafe is giving the wrong message since Ecstasy itself is an extremely dangerous drug that kids should be strongly warned to stay away from.
		Apparently, this highly technical industry creates such great levels of stress among its employees that it creates the need for something artificial, such as club drugs, to help them unwind, "let loose," and get in touch with their emotions quickly.

		Complainant holds common law rights in the DANCESAFE mark because of its use of the mark to denote its drug education and harm reduction services.
		Complainant has established its use in commerce of the DANCESAFE mark since at least as early as February 24, 2000, as this is the date given on Complainant’s pending trademark application.
		Respondent’s domain name incorporates into Complainant’s DANCESAFE mark the generic top-level domain (“gTLD”) “.com.” The addition of a gTLD to the DANCESAFE mark is an inconsequential difference under a Policy ¶ 4(a)(i) identical analysis because gTLDs are a required feature in domain names.

		There are people who would say that the responsible thing to do is to take that pill away from them, regardless of what's in it.
		But a DanceSafe volunteer says that all it takes is $20 to buy another pill and, the next time, a partygoer might take it without having it checked first.

	cannabisnews.com: Ecstasy Without Fear
		DanceSafe’s Web site posts a revolving rogue’s gallery of photos of bogus Ecstasy tabs, along with their actual ingredients, so ravers can identify tainted strains of X. Since last June, the group has been taking pill testing to the people, setting up booths at a number of raves and club events.
		Ravers present their X to DanceSafe volunteers, who treat the pills using a “marquis reagent” kit — basically a bottle of sulfuric acid tempered with formaldehyde.
		DanceSafe’s programs have raised the ire of several high-profile anti-drug groups, including the nonprofit Partnership for a Drug-Free America, a project whose efforts have resulted in roughly $3 billion in pro bono media exposure and whose list of funders includes Pepsi-Cola, the U.S. Department of Education and several pharmaceutical companies.

		The vast majority of these, however, were not overdoses but the result of becoming overheated on the dance floor or ingesting pills sold as ecstasy that were actually dangerous substances like DXM, a cough suppressant that can cause overheating if taken in large quantities, and the stimulant PMA.
		The most prominent is DanceSafe, a two-year-old Oakland, Calif., nonprofit founded by theology grad student Emanuel Sferios.
		Promoters are now afraid to let DanceSafe into their clubs, lest the group's presence -- like that of glowsticks -- be used as evidence against them.

		One of DanceSafe¹s philosophical beliefs is harm reduction.
		DanceSafe is extremely clear on these issues, stating that they will not perform the test until the pill has been returned to the owner, at which point no one knows what is in the pill.
