There has been a shift in consumer confidence in one product as opposed to the next as time has moved on. In the beginning people had confidence in pressed tablets as they sort of signified an organization and a trust similar to that one might find in other more legitimate consumer industries. If the right name and person appears on the box you assume it'll be a good box of cereal. AS time went on the naive consumer clung to the confidence that one might assume comes in every pressed pill while more in tune distributors knew that the largest doses and most pure product were found in "Molly" (a name customers, not chemists, gave to a product). Soon thereafter the consumer wanted the pure "molecule" as well. Of course, as demand for pure and domestically produced MDMA.HCl or "Molly" increased so did the intentions of people who just wanted to make more money by supplying less drugs for the same price thereby increasing their profit margin. Now the pressed pills are generally garbage but the "Molly" is not any better. Sometimes they don't even have the good tact to learn how to cut it so as if to look like real drugs and it simply looks like brown sugar.
What is the point I am trying to convey? Well the entire World's supply of sassafras oil, the most cost efficient source for producing MDMA, has decreased to a point of being practically non-existent and somehow the supply of "Molly" has increased and the price has decreased with it. It doesn't take an economist to figure that out. Simply stated the people competing for your business treat MDMA like coke dealer treat cocaine. They know you will buy it for pretty much the same price regardless of the quality so they buy the cheapest thing available. Trust me, I used to sell the purest MDMA.HCl on the market, period. The dealer would buy complete dirt from the competition and that was what the consumer got but they would refused to take the stuff they sold to the consumer. That was the only time they bought anything, when they wanted to take something themselves. They wouldn't take any of that stuff they pushed on customers themselves. It was a sorted affair and I decided if I wasn't going to make any money for providing the best product on the market then there was no return on my investment paid in risk and fraught with danger. So now all there is in most local markets is stuff that is 25-50% or not MDMA.HCl at all or some combination of the drugs you wanted and some drug you really didn't and the next day you know why you didn't, for sure. Welcome to the next decade. Sadly, MDMA.HCl is getting to be like LSD. 90-95% of what is available is either cut so low that you can barely feel it or it isn't the drug you want at all. Trust me on this one: Most of the MDMA you buy now days is not MDMA. I fear many young people these day might not even know the difference because there is so little actual MDMA in the underground market these days.
