Having had (in the day) somebody who constantly had pokeballs/confirmed MDMA rolls, and then having that shut down, I only have stumbled in to MDMA once in LA (even though I'm not actively looking), and it was from somebody I expected to not have actual MDMA. There is so much goddamn Methylone and other bullshit (see my test in the testing Q&A just now) going around that I've basically given up. I feel like if it's going to emerge, I'll find out...otherwise it's just some bunk roll or shitty research chem/methylone/who knows what combo that's made the rounds.
Given how big electronic music is getting, you would expect MDMA to be on the rise again, but sadly it seems like it's the opposite...MDMA exists only in the smaller, longer-term crews, with all of the new bullshit flooding the new audience at the latest Skrillex concert. I'm not knocking on Skrillex, but the same crowd who is all about dubstep/whetever other new music is out there doesn't know the difference between molly, "e", "x", and MDMA. If it gets them mashed, then they're not discerning.
MDMA is going the route of real LSD - it's going to be a niche drug for people who actually have had it and are willing to wait or hunt down the real deal, with Methylone or something similar becoming the new "E," just like "acid" is now 2-something or DOB.
Sad, as the few times I had pure MDMA were mind blowing, but I don't see this changing given the current climate.
