Audis showed, they'll sit in a drawer till I get a test kit in, then they'll be waiting for the show. Here's hoping they are on the money.
These are mitsibushi's I'll try get a pic up in a minute, my phone cameras shit though which is all I've got atm
I think what sprout meant about the warning is dealers starting to use (claimed) precursor as a marketing point, of course without lab data on isomer ratio it's not worth the digital paper it's metaphorically printed on, just another version of "yeah bruv this shit is pure fire" or whatever. The linked paper is not connected to the warning point as best I can tell, just supporting evidence on the effects of stereochemistry of MDMA on effect.
As best as I can tell from that paper's abstract, they are using uptake of radiolabelled monoamine neurotransmitters as a proxy for determining which NTs are being released by each isomer, with the results showing that R-MDMA is not dopaminergic, which, if the isomer imbalance that is speculated to exist in a lot of currently produced MDMA is true, would explain the "mongyness" felt from it. It's interesting to me that there's no stereospecific difference on NE effect though, as I would have expected given reports that "mongy" MDMA is lacking in energy that NT would be relatively lacking, but I guess neurochemistry is complicated so you still get a lack of felt energy from just missing out on DA. Interesting stuff, and it's always good to have data to work from. Now we just need some isomer analysis of shitty MDMA and good MDMA, potentially with duplication of synthesis routes using different precursors and routes to confirm that is the cause of the issue.
No it's not. The problem is that with these high dosed euro pills, a high dose of MD anyway will floor you and make you feel mongy anyhow. Therefore it becomes difficult to differentiate between if you lack energy because you have dosed high, or because if the MD is "mongy".
Personally in my opinion, I'm not sure anything has changed. I mean that in the sense that everyone says the original purple partyflocks were shite, and were really "mongy". However they were the first pill I ever dropped, and still stand today as the best pill I have ever taken. I was empathetic,had energy and one pill (dosed in halves) kept me fucked for 6 hours easy. Every pill I dropped after was the same experience for a while, even on pills that others claim were mongy and crap. The only thing that changed as the years went on is that I don't really feel empathy on MD anymore. But I attributed that to either setting or slow loss of magic.
