    I mean that is a pretty sizeable qualifier considering most people don’t get MDMA directly from the source.

    Like many other drugs it should be regulated and sold legally so that is less of a concern.

      The problem is MDMA’s street name started as Ecstacy (later Molly of course), but X got cut with other things and fucked it.

      When I was partying in the 90s, we had test kits to look for other substances. If MDMA wasn’t pure, we’d probably not take it. We also knew our sources.
