By all means use your camera on your phone tied with near-legal certainty to your credit card thus your identity to take pictures of drugs then send them over the interwebs possibly sniffed by various gov't agencies. If it's not actually a honeypot run by them.

If all images (or suitable digests) are uploaded to the phone first then a comparison made strictly on the phone then you get some plausible deniability, but it sounds seriously risky.

Sounds a bit paranoid, but there is definitely some truth in your concerns.

Also that is very depending of your local laws. I know for a fact that this feature is currently being developed by a harm reduction group of the EU.

Surprisingly I would much rather have it owned by the EU.

Matching pills with pictures/dimensions/etc. in pill reports isn't meaningful at all without the results of the reagent kit. If the reagent kit results line up with the pill report results it provides SWIM with an idea of the strength of the active ingredients. It's a sad joke that in 2019 intelligent adults in America can't just walk into any pharmacy and buy a box of 100mg cross scored MDMA tablets with expiration dates.

We live in a world where Michael Pollen, a widely known author, wrote a best selling novel on his experience taking illegal drugs while in the US.

Someone needs to ask Buttigieg what he thinks about MDMA. If he admits using it in the past he'd make a great President and if he says he never tried it he needs to drop out of the race.
