MDMA and Methylone M1: What the hell is going on here?!

[LSJ1990]

Okay. I've noticed that really since MDMA or the street term "Molly" has gained alot more recent attention/popularity lately, so has ways to expand the distribution/cutting of this drug risen as well. It's kinda like how pure cocaine was introduced and then ways were found to cut it up so the distributors could make more profit out of it. With everyone and their momma now hitting up the streets for a good time, i think we are starting to see a decline in REAL mdma period. This is popping up globally now more recently. Why would you want to sell your customers .2 off REAL mdma? You're basically giving them meth in a broken down form. But what really gets me is why is there no more true MDMA? I can only imagine being a chemist and probably facing through-the-roof prices on the compounds to create real MDMA, and plus if it is real it'd probably be automatically charged as man-slaughter if in creation/posession of it. So economic woes + legal risks are two factors as why possibly, but theres also a third to me that pretty much would be a automatic sum to it-- is pure MDMA just way too strong for the public to handle? Because it would make sense that, as a chemist, you stop creating a chemical for the general public that pretty much, if done alot over a couple months or so/abused (and can BURN your serotonin receptors and leave you with a syndrome.), could become lethal to people, so we make a version where its not so lethal, and you can still party.

Thoughts?

As far as I am aware, there is just as much MDMA available now as there ever was. There is no new issue with chemists obtaining precursors or worrying about manslaughter charges from production (which sounds like a bullshit myth to me, as does your point of MDMA 'burning' serotonin receptors, but that's another issue regarding misinformation).
The issue with methylone is that it can be imported by the kilo for a fraction of the cost of a kilo of MDMA, and has effects that are similar enough to MDMA that some people will be none the wiser. However since many people prefer the effects of MDMA to methylone there will always be a demand for MDMA, and as long as there is demand for the product the market will still exist. It may be more of a hunt to find legitimate MDMA now, but it certainly still exists and is widely available.
