Between scanning through posts on r/mdma and seeing pics of people with pupils the size of dinner plates and the posts here where people are reporting they were able to get their hands on magic in 2018, or even 2019, it sounds like there is still good MDMA floating around out there, it's just hard to find.
I mean...not EVERY batch being made in the Dutch labs/sold on DNMs can be meh, can it?
Speaking from personal experience buying from real life and virtual contacts I think nowadays the streets and the mail are both just offering everything, and it is up to the buyer to vote with his wallet.
Anyway, I recently sampled some crystal MDMA after a couple month's break from all stims except caffeine, and 150mg intranasal produced the full spectrum of effects expected from MDMA.
What was remarkable about the experience from my perspective is how easy it was to not redose while having a couple of grams of it in my drawer and no specific reason for not redosing except I wanted to minimise the comedown.
After I sampled the batch together with a friend of many trips and rolls, a (21yo, 38kg/84lbs) girl that had never tried any drug except very sporadic cannabis and alcohol use ingested 130mg of the same batch in a gel cap a few minutes after ingesting about 1.5 grams of Sodium bicarbonate.
No redoses were given during the experience, and it was one of the most stereotypical and positive MDMA experiences I have ever seen. You could say textbook, if there was one.
The peak effects lasted about 3 hours after comeup, but very pronounced effects were still present for 3 more hours, and sleep came at about the T+09:00 mark with some effects still present.
Ofcourse pupils were dilated, and there was jaw clenching and gurning, lip smacking, breathing air in and out felt good, all facial expressions were greatly exaggerated, urinating was impossible for the first half (4 hours ) of the experience, and there was a total breakdown of barriers that prevented her from expressing her feelings to the people present.
There was no loss of ability to reason "normally" or to hold a meaningful conversation at all. It was very easy to convince her that this experience cannot possibly be repeated every weekend, and that it is more like a once every 6-8 weeks kind of thing if she doesn't want to see her experience diminished in quality and duration.
She did not even mention once that she was considering a redose even though she was told that it was possible to get a booster dose.
In the second part of the experience she reported mild CEVs, just moving shapes of changing colours that she could somehow control.
The next day she reported pessimistic thinking, tiredness (described as pronounced, but not unnatural), complete lack of appetite, jaw clenching was present until the late evening, meaning it stopped about 22 hours after ingestion.
The day after that she reported being fully recovered. Full memory of the experience was retained.
Looking from the outside, there is something that is a very good indicator of someone having taken Magic or Meh, with Magic every stimuli or idea causes (during peak) a profound surprise reaction, that is accompanied by immediate curiosity and attention, Meh on the other hand seems to cause diminished reactions with no accompanied bursts of curiosity as if one would rather not be bothered from the current state.
