Molly. Pure MDMA is called Molly.
Ecstasy is not MDMA
Ecstasy is a pressed pill comprising of a base and some active drug - generally some form of amphetamine which may be MDMA, but is more often than not some other compound. This could be anything from caffeine, to ketamine, to meth.
Don’t fuck with ecstasy. You never know what you’re getting, and that is incredibly dangerous for reasons I shouldn’t have to explain.
You’re not wrong, MDMA cannot be pressed into a pill, it falls apart, so any pressed pill with MDMA has to have a binding agent, and usually some other drug to potentiate the experience.
All that being said reagent testing isn’t difficult nor expensive and anyone wishing to dabble should definitely look up their pills and test them if possible.
I raved for a few years, took ecstasy perhaps too often, but with experience you learn what to look out for, even the consistency of the pill can let you know its quality or if it is actually full of piperazine which is a anthelmintic which is not a fun experience when you’re expecting a solid clean roll.
I stick to tested MDMA nowadays and my preferred route of administration is intravenous, something which you should NEVER do with pressed pills, but is quite good with more pure MDMA in its crystalline form.
This guy raves.
Forest Gump voice Life is like a box of ecstasy
Not sure why youre getting downvoted, you’re right. Mdma and ecstasy are not the same thing. Its a squares and rectangles thing

The alternatives, like piperazine and tfmpp, also tend to have much lower ld50 thresholds.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
The public benefit corporation (PBC) that filed the FDA application was created by MAPS, The Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies, which has been supporting this type of work since 1986.
This leads people who take the drug to experience euphoria, hallucinations, sharpened sensory perception, and sociability, but it can also induce confusion, depression, and paranoia.
“The filing of our [new drug application] is the culmination of more than 30 years of clinical research, advocacy, collaboration, and dedication to bring a potential new option to adults living with PTSD, a patient group that has experienced little innovation in decades,” she said.
The novel approaches undertaken in psychedelic-assisted therapy research have led to fundamental shifts in our understanding of how these devastating mental health conditions can be treated."
The Washington Post published an estimated price of between $13,000 to $15,000 per treatment round, and it’s unclear for now whether it would be covered by health insurance if approved by the FDA.
“Most people in the world won’t be able to afford these clinics,” Allen Frances, a Duke University professor emeritus of psychiatry, told the Post.
The original article contains 648 words, the summary contains 183 words. Saved 72%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
FIFTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS? This is insane, you can just go to a drug dealer and buy some for over a hundred times less. I really hope this is the price with insurance.
Yeah, if your drug dealer is a licensed psychiatrist.
It’s drug-assisted therapy. You’re paying for a therapist, not a drug. In the study, they did three eight-hour sessions. They don’t just give you a few beans and wish you luck.
Even so, that’s $625/hr, which is prohibitively expensive for many Americans. Insurance companies are going to fight tooth and nail not to pay for this. What are the odds the VA pays $15,000 for every traumatized vet? Getting MDMA from a dealer and having one of your friends talk things out with you is, while less effective, going to be the only option for a ton of people.
