Just like methamphetamine is PARTLY metabolised to amphetamine, MDMA is to MDA.
Some people point to this as the cause of MDMAs visuals when taken in high doses.
I think the visual component of MDA still requires a decent dose; one omega didnt give any; whereas when 1.5-2 was had there was certainly lots going on visually
not all that nice either.
Vitae; thats interesting although i am not surprised; there was no question the omegas were very dirty and probably not the best example of MDA.
Personally whilst we dont have testing i dont believe our pills would be greatly different to Americas. So i still think u can look to Dancesafe as a guide of whats in pills. MDA is rare, MDEA even rarer. And if they r in there they are often in with MDMA.
This from ITM; quite interesting:
European Ecstasy Pills Getting Stronger Again

Ecstasy testing experts in Holland said this week that the MDMA dosage in pills is rising again, after years of diminishing strengths, with the vast majority of pills in circulation almost always containing ecstasy.
“What we see in Amsterdam is that 95% of the samples contain MDMA,” health education adviser Jaap Jamin told the Standard. “At the beginning of the 90s it was on average 105mg (per pill), then it went down to 50mg or 60mg. Now slowly, it is going back down again,” he said.
The article warned that dangerously wide variations in strength continue to surface in Amsterdam, with some pills containing 3mg of MDMA and others 225 mg.
Furthermore, a number of pills tested in recent months including ones with Nike, Superman and Elephant logos contained PMA, the highly dangerous adulterant, linked to a number of deaths in Australia.
A 225mg MDMA pill? excuse we while i clean up the drool.
I agree with the September 11 theory; i remember reading that when MDMA comes down from Europe it often goes through the middle east because Israeli crime syndicates are heavily involved.
Considering all the attention in that area its not surprising we r getting very little.
