Swallowing MDMA crystals vs crushing into powder?

So, I have MDMA crystals, last time I did M I crushed it to a very fine powder and parachuted it, every time before that I would just swallow the whole crystals. What I noticed when I crushed it up is the roll seems to last a lot less. If you think about it, it makes sense and the powder will be absorbed way faster because your stomach doesn't have to dissolve the crystals from the outside in. Is this just my mind playing tricks on me or am I on to something? What do you guys think?
 
theoretically, you're perfectly right. practically, MDMA·HCl is water soluble enough (and the crystals you have aren't that huge anyway) that it shouldn't make any noticable difference :). when you compare powder to some of the less crumbly pills it's a wholly different story though...

you can make an experiement by dropping one dose of crystal into a glass of water and swishing it around (to simulate the movement of your stomach/intestine) until it dissolves. i bet it will not take more than 1-2 minutes.
 
also crystals are dissolving in a concentrated spot compared to powder being scattered all over your insides being absorbed in different locations at different rates of speed. i believe poppin crystals is best for a proper dose. if the crystals are really large i usually will break them down into smaller pieces but never into a powder. just my opinion. im really glad this topic was brought up its something ive been really curious to hear other opinions about.

also keep in mind moon rock style crystals vs true singular crystalline structure may break down at different rates. moon rock style is like a bunch of small bits and pieces fused together to form a large imposter crystal for apperance. so i believe the moon rocks will dissolve faster because they are not as dense as true single crystals.

the largest single crystal i have had was .4 grams and the largest moon rock i have had was about 3 grams. (yes i always test my stuff and weigh out exact doses to my liking)

too much acid in your stomach will speed up absorbtion and shorten total duration. if you take some tums before taking mdma it will balance out stomach acid levels which will help increase duration of your roll i believe.

MDMA if its true product will dissolve in water with very little effort. I personally think this might be a placebo effect but you can never be 100% sure as there are always so many variables in the mix. As soon as the crystal hits the stomach it will get broken down pretty fast as to whether this makes a difference to your "buzz" duration crystal vs crushed up powder unlikely. the only way to really know would be to approach this scientifically yourself. try both keep as many variables you can the same and time it. of course i am not encouraging you to take excessive doses as always note the HR rules about dosage, frequency taking etc but.. if you approach this with some thought and care you could answer the question yourself with some experimentation.

your intestine isn't a static glass beaker. it's a living thing that tries to mix its contents. and it does a pretty good job at that.

This.

And regarding crushing, I would think that the theory (and empirical evidence from users) that crushing pills into powder prior to ingesting allows for faster absorption applies to the crystals.
