PMMA is new???

 

[Chesh]

new form of ecstasy?

mandy has been around for years. what they should be saying is there's a tainted batch of mandy going round. they're acting like we want the PMMA. like mandy means MDMA + PMMA when it just means MDMA.

Why do they add PMA/PMMA? Is it cheaper/easier to produce than MDMA?

 

['medicine cabinet']

i like the bit about calling them if you purchased any. uhh hello garda? yes ive purchsed some ecstasy and i am not sure if it has PMMA in it. can you test it for me?

Why do they add PMA/PMMA? Is it cheaper/easier to produce than MDMA?

precursors for PMA/PMMA are easier to get than MDMA thanks to government restrictions on certain MDMA precursors

mixture of methylamphetine (MDMA)

lol what?

 

[spini4]

I think the article writer meant 3,4-methylenedioxy-N-methylamphetamine. But there's diffrent types of methylamphetamine so he should have specified. Just another reporter writing about a drug he abviousley knows nothing about.

Meth(yl)amphetamine is meth... It's very different without the MD on the front


and you mean 3,4-methylenedioxy-N-methylamphetamine btw

 

[spini4]

^Yes I forgot to add the 3 , before the 4. I meant to do that but my iPad auto corrected ,mixed with myself drinking to much beer and i didn't realize. Thnx Folley, I wouldn't have caught that though if it wasn't for you.

 

[slimvictor]

^ Good that Folley caught it, but I doubt that anyone would have gone out and taken 4-methylenedioxy-N-methylamphetamine (if there is such a thing) based on your post, Spin!

 

[Chesh]
