Just a point of clarification: pure MDMA (what is used in the study) is often very different from "E", "Ecstasy", and other street preparations. The party drug formulations are often pressed into pills and contain other things (on purpose, to give a different effect). It's often MDA, methamphetamine, cocaine, caffeine[0].
Consider this difference when comparing personal experience or anecdata about pressed pills (or impure "molly") to what they're using here.

- amanaplanacanal 5y agoTrue that. Although it looks like most tested were mdma only.
- toper-centage 5y agoJust to add: pill form doesn't necessarily mean it's not pure MDMA; on the other hand, powder or crystal form doesn't mean it's pure MDMA. When buying illegal substances from unknown sources, the truth is you don't know what you are taking, period.
- NoImmatureAdHom 5y agoCorrect, and to add on: Test kits are perfectly legal. There are also harm-reduction organizations like DanceSafe and Zendo that will help at festivals etc.
