According to Dazed, there is an artist named Chemical X who is currently exhibiting two murals that would probably kill you if you licked them. Using 10,000 ecstasy pills that he made from wholesale ingredients, Chemical X (logo designer for Ministry of Sound) created two large colorful panels that resemble cheerful stained-glass windows. Instead of a picture of Jesus or some Saint, the panels have big smiley faces, rainbows, white doves, and shooting stars.

Chemical X explained in an interview that he and his team have all the equipment to produce and emboss the pills themselves. He said that they are aware that they could get in trouble for making drug art, but added that there is a "contingency plan to deal with that when it happens." The panels are being shown as a part of "The Ark" at the Bear Cub Gallery in London, but Chemical X doesn't think that the will last the length of the exhibition. "Any sniff of the authorities getting involved and they will be removed from the show."
We have no way of knowing if the artist's work is actually made of MDMA, but we would love for the buyers of these or any of his previous pieces to confirm it for us.
