Mr. A reported current cannabis consumption, together with a previous history of polydrug misuse (i.e., solvents, benzodiazepines, amphetamines, LSD, cocaine, heroin). Decrease in level of cannabis intake led both to disappearance of his paranoid ideas and hallucinations and reduction of his panic attacks I agree; they have no idea what caused what. Why didn't they at least mention how extensively he used (for example) solvents? Plus, who knows what was actually in the pills? Is ecstasy typically pure? A few times I thought about taking a small dose of ecstasy before a psychotherapy appointment (its original intended use,) but as far as I know, there's no way to reliably get a pure, known dose illegally.

If you don't want to pay $120 for molly or $40 for pills to have your stuff analyzed at the lab using mass spectrometer, then the next best option is the complete kit from DanceSafe for $50. If I ever tried MDMA I would probably just do both, but then again my anxiety is why I don't partake in the first place.

  Quite informative, especially their stats page: http://www.ecstasydata.org/stats.php http://www.ecstasydata.org/stats.php 32% of the street ecstasy tablets they tested were pure MDMA, and 50% contained no MDMA at all. 29% contained stimulants, so you're just as likely to get a dose of unknown stimulants as you are to get pure MDMA. Yeah, drug lottery? No thanks.

Where did he get the cash to continually use and abuse all of the above for 9 years? I wonder if he was born rich and blew through all his family's money, since most loans would have come back at him well before then. Either that, or he was a dealer and was sampling his own product(s).

Ecstasy is not typically pure MDMA. Around here (Kansas) it is usually entirely dextromethorphan, caffeine, methamphetamine, MDA or a combination of the lot. Very rarely a batch will turn up that is pure MDMA or a mixture of MDA/MDMA (usually called Molly in the club scene.) Getting pure MDA or MDMA feels very different than a mixture. It is pretty easy for one who's past all the glitz/glamor associated with early years of drug use to become a kind of connoisseur and nail down long term relationships with the dealers who supply reliable product.
