In the US find a dealer or the dark web, you can buy test kits to test for pure MDMA (Molly), to ensure it’s not mixed with things. Ecstasy can otherwise be mixed with opiates or uppers like speed. I know a lot of pretty responsible users o

As someone who lived in Bangalore, no. You missed April's average temperature being 95F.
