1990s pills vs 2012 pills

I just found this forum tonight and it kinda makes me sad to know that the good stuff seems to be almost non-existent these days. It's been about 18 years ('95) since I experienced Ecstasy but I can tell you that for 9 months, twice a week I had some of the best times of my life. I was in Austin, Tx and a half a brown speckled pill followed by another half an hour later, one shot of Jäger and some really great hip hop was the recipe for an always PERFECT night of dancing til 2am. Good times and great memories.

Yeah I have yet to see better than those brown speckled wafers. Floored on half a pill. I was in Dallas eating the same ones at that same time. Good times huh?
 
id say there's probably been a big qualitative shift in the US alright. as for over here, e was better back then but the extent is overstated imo. i just missed the 90s pillwise but from what i can tell its nostalgia for the decade itself. the experience was surreal because of the context, the birth of dance/rave, a youth counterculture, e-use at hitherto unprecedented levels. it was new, and it was everyones first time, imagine the sort of naive belief you felt after you first roll amplified en-masse...they didn't have older users around to tell them the feelings they had where ''just the drugs'' ect. for a brief window people believed it was more than just drugs and music, even if they didn't admit it. not to exaggerate, but there are similarities with the 60s in terms of what happened. i don't think the pills are much better, it was just a set of circumstances that enhanced their effects. the same thing goes on now, but to a lesser extent, people starting now tend to do so in smaller groups/networks, less people are doing it and the older users have become jaded.


Nah even back then you knew half the people you were talking cod shit to was because of the drugs. Still do it today but under the influence of other substances... I mean what do you define as good? Subjectively speaking? MDMA is kinda not that upbeat if it's really pure, Shulgin himself likened it to Martini... A little dose of methylxanthine (ie coffee), pseudoephedrine, ephedrine, speed etc and you get a far more uplifting experience vs rolling around huffing vicks... Not that either place is bad.

There is good quality MDMA today as there was in the past, just MUCH harder to come by and most pills outside of EU are bunk. The USA seems even worse than Australia for crap MDMA rip offs like M1 just going by postings on this forum of BL.

Oh I heard about this bust. Yea, Safrole is available and being used to make A LOT of MDMA...even in 2013. I know there is a great deal of talk about how unavailable safrole is...but remember this...it is used a great deal in various industries and is constantly being moved around the world. Though it is considered to be "controlled", one does not have to use their imagination too much to figure out how it gets to various labs.

Also even if somehow safrole was somehow unavailable; very pure MDMA can be made without it. Safrole is not essential with proper synthesis.
100 % correct it's just the easiest method reacting safrole with hydrob***mic acid to produce isos***le etc. There is always more than one way to skin a cat (or whatever) as the saying goes... adding the mdp2p drop wise into a highly exothermic reaction... fun!! Mercury byproduct of certain synthesis also possibly fun if a few essential washes are left out and residual amounts find it's way into your system :). Yummo!
