I don't think of you and me as being at odds or in any way in a default disagreement on probably… most things in this world, let alone the topics, shit-brained ideas, wild speculations, and MDMA-chemistry musings that comprise the bulk of this thread. I mean, we both know what's up, and I've been pretty clear from the beginning that all of us are just speculating about something from the past – distant or recent – that it is now literally impossible to test scientifically and be certain. And that's fine, just all I've been urging everyone to do from the start is to have your ideas, speculate as wildly as you want, and hear other people out, and then have the wisdom, and more importantly, the decency, to understand there's a chance you're wrong, and this applies to everyone's theory presented here, mine, perhaps especially, included. Don't take any of these musings and ramblings too seriously. The truth is often weirded than fiction anyways…That's one thing I can agree on.
… [sigh]… Yeahhh of course. Fuck dateline NBC. Buncha narc-ass busters… Granted, he was playing it a little too loose, but come on, look at the guy in those interviews. You can tell that's a genuinely good-hearted person. No one deputized those jackholes and it's a disgrace to the professional of journalism that they got involved with law enforcement. What a bunch of reckless fucking pricks with zero integrity. You know… this is why I respect Mariana Van Zeller. She would've never pulled a cowboy stunt like this. How about if Strike had just gone ballistic after dateline doxxed him on primetime national television? Like gave zero fucks, faith in humanity gone, and he just quietly goes and gets a shotgun in the next room and comes back blasting buckshot at everyone suddenly realizing they're trapped in his warehouse, and then begins a new Saw series or whatever… you get the pic. Dateline be like, "Oops, uhh, huh-huh, ju… just… just kidding about that stuff we found… " Nah, but they knew they could surprise him on camera and exploit him as they doxx him to the federales like some scene from a 1984 sequel written by Harry Anslinger. What a buncha chodes. Fuck the media.I assume you've seen the dateline documentary detailing strikes downfall.
I mean, shit, man, the newsgroup alt.drugs.chemistry was where it was at in the 90s. Those were like wild west times. Crazy what you could just order to your home with very little to no deception back then. Also back then I could walk into Wally World and buy everything I needed to manufacture methamphetamine and within the same purchase as my two dozen generic sudafeds I could legally buy a rifle and ammunition from the sporting goods department, no questions asked, they even send a kid out to help me cart it off to my gas-guzzler and off I go into the wild after rambling some speech about first aid kits in the old folks home being updated with fresh iodine tincture and that I needed those matches for guests as my boss was opening a new restaurant in a spot downtown, and oh yes, we like to stock up on our cold medicine before the cold weather gets here, you see…Wild wild stuff
You are right taking MEH MDMA and recrystalizing with dH20 just proved it's meh, nothing more. But I will say it made the product worse in my and other tests subjects experience.. It had not become better, I removed a lot of "purple" junk from White MDMA. The Crystal structure was now see thru and a nice shard, but very weak and brittle...All I could guess is that the water molecules bound to the structure, but of course it's just a guess. having the wisdom, and more importantly, the decency, to understand there's a chance you're wrong, and this applies to everyone's theory presented here, mine, perhaps especially, included. Don't take any of these musings and ramblings too seriously. The truth is often weirded than fiction anyways… as /u/unodelacosa stated above.The crystalline forms of racemic 3,4-MDMA.HCl do not make any difference after complete dissolution in water because dissolution destroys all crystalline structures. The alternative pharmacological profile is manifested even after consumption of such solutions.
I welcome your musings about contaminants from improperly purified intermediate steps making their way to the final product but please stop the stuff about crystalline polymorphs of the final product.
Not indefinitely stable ?EDIT: An added consideration is the fact that PMK has a short shelf-life, while PMK-glycidate is more stable.
PMK-glycidate powder or the PMK meta bisulphate ("chicken fat") is 2-3 years I think... PMK oil is 2-3 months in the freezer, if I remember correctly, if properly stored airtight....Not indefinitely stable ?
So what does the PMK Glycidate decompose to after 3 years ?PMK-glycidate powder or the PMK meta bisulphate ("chicken fat") is 2-3 years I think...
I'm not sure of the new wax PMK..
Buy a NMR and tell us XDSo what does the PMK Glycidate decompose to after 3 years ?
(TL;DR below)Not indefinitely stable? So what does the PMK Glycidate decompose to after 3 years ?
Exactly. Like I said, it all depends on conditions of storage, being in a 30 degree F room is ok, not so much when it's humidity is in the high 70% like by the ocean.. I was saying in general as well, as I didn't have much of idea. But it's "Some semi-educated guesses might be Piperonal or maybe it's corresponding cousins was pretty dang close." If you ask me.thank you for chiming in about hydrosis as I complete forgot about that. I guess as you said desiccant being replaced would be needed in my neck of the woods. Irreguardless, it would still have to be sealed pretty fucking tight reguardless. IDK how relevant, but I kinda remember watching moonshiners one episode and what's his face went legal. They either the company he got hired independently and or who he sold out to wanted to control EVERYTHING, SEAL IT ALL UP, the mash etc etc. MAKE SURE EACH BATCH WAS 100% "CONSISTENT". The shiner tim that sold out got F$&#&- pissed as well it tasted DISGUSTING he said. Said basically "What are you doing. What makes shine .. shine is is that you need to open it up a little and let natural yeast from the air and Nitrogen come into play." If you are trying to make an " industrial product." That's like cool and all but it tastes like rubbing alcohol to me. There no micro brew that is really the heart of the product. I don't think it was this episode but it was similar.(TL;DR below)

PMK Glycidate—like PMK—primarily degrades to piperonylic acid, the glycidate just take much longer to do so and has a slower rate of degradation. But of course it depends on how it was stored. High temps, light (esp. UV), atmospheric oxygen and moisture all play a factor as do acidic or basic conditions. PMK is relatively unstable and prone to oxidation due to its free ketone group, which can slowly oxidize into piperonylic acid when exposed to air. It also has no protective functional groups to shield it from environmental degradation, making it more reactive under standard conditions.
The Glycidate ester structure in PMK Glycidate stabilizes the molecule by reducing the free reactivity of the ketone. The ester and epoxide groups are less likely to degrade under mild conditions, provided the compound is stored correctly (e.g.: away from moisture or strong acids/bases). The epoxide group is reactive but doesn't significantly degrade under neutral, low-light, room-temperature conditions. Hydrolysis of the epoxide or ester typically requires catalysis or significant exposure to moisture or acidic/basic impurities.
PMK Glycidate's stability is owed to steric hinderance (i.e., the glycidate group adds bulk, reducing the likelihood of reactions that target the ketone group (the double bond oxygen)). Also, the ester protects the ketone from direct oxidation to carboxylic acids as readily as it occurs with PMK.
PMK glycidate is still sensitive to hydrolysis, but this occurs much more slowly under dry, neutral storage conditions than the degradation of PMK.
The ketone group in PMK can be oxidized to a carboxylic acid, resulting in piperonylic acid. This is a common degradation pathway for ketones in the presence of oxygen, especially if trace amounts of catalysts or moisture are present. If PMK is exposed to basic conditions or impurities that can promote aldol reactions, it may form higher molecular weight condensation products, leading to polymeric or resinous materials.
In the presence of moisture and acidic or basic impurities, the ketone might undergo hydrolysis to form simpler compounds, such as piperonal and acetone. This is less likely unless significant moisture or catalytic agents are present. UV exposure can cause breakdown, resulting in the formation of byproducts like aldehydes or phenolic derivatives. This is less probable in controlled low-light conditions.
________
TL;DR ☞ Under standard room conditions with minimal light and low moisture, PMK Glycidate primarily degrades slowly to piperonylic acid or forms minor amounts of condensation products over time. To minimize degradation, it should be stored in an airtight, light-resistant container with desiccants if long-term stability is required.
I notice you're using quotes on "MDMA" which implies euphemism. In other words, that's not MDMA. Some of these imposters are hard to identify and occasionally include just enough real MDMA to throw off drug testing attempts, but as I and others have attested ☞ real, nystagmus-inducing, empathy-boosting, 5HT-dumping, anxiolytic-but-stimulating, oxytocin-releasing, live-in-the-moment-causing, good-ol'-fashion, down-home country dl-3,4-MDMA hydrochloride, just like mama used to make, is out there. Real MDMA is out there.Something bad is wrong with the "MDMA" available today.

Nah, I think hip-hop artists have breathed new life into it over the years every time there's a single with someone rapping about poppin' mollies. The same effect has occurred with Percocet, Xanax, lean, and cocaine hydrochloride. Meanwhile Ketamine popularity seems sky high currently, something I would've never guessed back when I first tried it in '97, and I'm not sure why today's younger generations seem so obsessed with it. Perhaps it's because of its recently approved use for depression, but I can only speculate…as far as ive been seeing, it's made a miraculous comeback
probably because sales dropped from less demand
Anecdotal reports online make it seem like that could be case, but I've been getting good clean stuff for at least a decade through multiple sources.Do y'all agree that the quality of Molly has improved in the post-pandemic era ? On average...
I can tell you from coast to coast I can find good molly in the US. The UK seems like they were struggling for a number of years to have good mandy on the market, but at the moment, reports make it seem like it might be better. Germany and the Netherlands are also good, I think, not sure about the rest of Europe and can't speak on the other continents & countries, except I heard they have good molly in Chile, FWIW…Is this trend global or only in select countries ?
Many years ago while I was locked up. Why do you ask?Have you ever read Bruce Eisner"s MDMA --The Ecstasy story?
I'd also like to point out that the quality of LSD currently seems like it's through the roof everywhere. Also, 2C-B is still pure, uncut and readily available in a lot of cities, and besides – MDMA is slightly overrated anyways, in this humble psychonaut's opinion anyway. Your proverbial fuel efficiency may vary, metaphorically speaking that is…Do y'all agree that the quality of Molly has improved in the post-pandemic era ? On average...
Is this trend global or
Good luck with your new venture!"
You should look into LAME (Lysergic acid methyl ester) though this is not the place to discuss it.'d also like to point out that the quality of LSD currently seems like it's through the roof everywhere
