lack of the precursors from DEA intervention prevents manufacture of MDMA. safrole is the main one which comes form the sassafras tree which is mainly located in thailand or something(futura correct me)
You are right here homey so im not going to correct you just add a bit.
Sassafras trees can come from various places including America. Just dont get caught robbing bark or the Heat might question your motives.
Safrol can come from other sources as well as Sassafras Bark. Here is a book called the essential oils that explains more

Camphor is one source but look here to see what I mean

MDMA doesnt always come from Safrol. Helional is one essential you can make MDA from and could synth MDMA from MDA. Transformer was also talking about a synthetic form of MD-P2P or similiar that is what produces the grey MDMA.
Safrol is harder for the DEA to control as its found from many sources and is easy to discuise under the cover of being an essential oil.
One of the bigger obstacles is Solvents such as DCM, Acetone, Nitro Methane, Toluene etc. DEA are on the look out for large orders. A couple of litres on ebay is of no major concern however if say on ebay you ordered sassafras bark, camphor, acetone, lye, DCM, toluene, distillation glassware, combined heater stirrer, pill press, PVA, dyes, Caffeine, manitol, and a copy of Strikes Book then I would not be surprised if ebay have a system to piece together these orders for suspicious and may report the DEA. It would of course be VERY VERY stupid to place an order on ebay of this kind.
What does amaze me however is you can order an entire drug laboritory on ebay from precursors, to glassware, to pill press to pressing agents. Its nuts really! I am sure the DEA are aware of this also. I would not be surprised if some of the ebay items via ebay are already watched.
Guys, please be careful not to stray into synth discussion or to list prices. This thread's pretty borderline, but it's definitely a valid topic for discussion - let's keep it the right side of the rules please and remember we're a HR forum
Hello Effie sorry it wasnt a how to guide more a point really but I understand.
