peaked said:Not entirely true to say that MDMA comes from sassafras. Safrole oil is needed, which sassafras is rich in (at around 80-90% ) but there are other natural sources of safrole too (which shall remain nameless).
The smell of a pill isn't really a good indication either. MDMA does not smell like licorice, that smell comes from unreacted safrole (I'm guessing, anyhow). How much of this is left over depends more on the skill (and equipment/precursors) of the chemist creating it rather than the mg of MDMA in the pill.
I didn't say it smelled like licorice, i said it tasted like it, and it was the only pill that i have had that did so. Whether it's licorice taste was the reason for it's strength i'm not sure, but it would be possible since sassafras oil tastes like licorice.
