That is not really true. At least not in Europe. Real MDMA is incredibly common.
- SirensOfTitan 8y agoI have read that Europe has less fake MDMA, but regardless everyone should be testing. From rollsafe.org: > 87% of “Molly” analyzed by the DEA between 2009 and 2013 contained 0% MDMA, instead mostly containing “bath salts.” > 46% of Ecstasy tablets analyzed in a study contained 0% MDMA.
- cr1895 8y agoThat’s interesting...almost the opposite result was found by the Dutch drugs monitoring institute, with over 90% of analyzed pills containing MDMA. https://energycontrol-international.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Drug-Testing-in-Europe-Monitoring-Results.pdf https://energycontrol-international.org/wp-content/uploads/2...
- okmokmz 8y agoBy and large, most of the "ecstasy"/"MDMA" sold at the street level is a mix of cheap research chemicals and amphetamines. I volunteered at a tent that tested drugs at festivals, and for every 10 people that thought they had pure MDMA maybe 1-2 in 10 tested positive for containing any MDMA
- ryanmarsh 8y agoThat's one way to get people to be more skeptical of the psychotropic substances they're taking. Wish kits like this were wide spread.
- cr1895 8y agoThis is not universally true, at least it is certainly false in the Netherlands. https://energycontrol-international.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Drug-Testing-in-Europe-Monitoring-Results.pdf https://energycontrol-international.org/wp-content/uploads/2... See figure 7.
