So earlier in this new thread I speak of certain safrole sources containing other precursors for other psychedelic amphetamines...
Well here’s a great thread that goes over PMMA as a possible constituent in earlier MDMA batches as well. It isn’t found in commercial PMK though.

PMMA is a substance that could very well effect things via MAOI and it’s own psychoactive effects. Add in the high possibility of 3,4-DMMA also being an impurity...
We have two impurities which would potentiate the MDMA via MAOI and enzyme inhibition.
I think this for me explains why some batches which smell of safrole can last nearly all night. Certain batches of MDMA drop off hard around 4-5hrs post dosing (often scentless), other batches like a few I’ve been eating over the years can have you still feeling a little rolly 7-8hrs later. I know MDA well enough in effect and with reagents to write that off..
I suggest reading that thread plus others from phase dancer as he has a good grasp on MDMA batch variation.
