Since October I’ve been working on [DrugStats.net](https://drugstats.net?utm_source=rdataisbeautiful&utm_medium=reddit&utm_campaign=initial), a web app for visualizing data about the purity of illicit drug markets. All data comes from [drugsdata.org](https://www.drugsdata.org/), a lab run by the Erowid project. People anonymously submit samples to the lab where they are tested using gas chromotography and a mass spectrometer (GC/MS). Test results are then published to their website. My data visualizations are done using recharts on a react front end, with a flask backend.

Heroin was found in less than half the samples of 576 heroin samples.

Fent LD50 is crazy low. I don’t see how killing your customers that quickly is good for business.

Interesting content but with some minor changes, this could be a lot easier for the viewer to read. Just having a left aligned bar chart with the name of the chemical and the percentage only with a chart title would increase the speed and ease of taking in the information.
Eta: I appreciate your efforts, it’s a very interesting but frightening topic and a great resource.

Phenethyl 4-ANPP: A fentanyl precursor
