If you’re a psychiatrist, it might be meaningful for me to say that MDMA produces a dissolution of neurotic fear, emotional openness, and euphoria with hyperactivity. If you keep hitting your brain with more and more MDMA without enough recovery time, you can end up with problems with memory, concentration, anxiety, depression, etc. It’s always safest not to use MDMA, but for those who choose to use, please read this guide on safer use. Pay particular attention to the sections on checking if your “MDMA” may be fake.

It was only when Ross-King was spotted by a nearby medical officer, after bumping into a group of people and falling over, that she was taken to the medical tent—with a body temperature of 41 degrees and a rapid and irregular pulse. She was transported to Westmead hospital shortly thereafter, arrived unconscious, and quickly went into cardiac arrest. After four hours of attempted resuscitation she was declared dead. Of course, even when you feel that you have a fairly good idea about the effects of the drug you’re taking, you should remain diligent.

And now you’re potentially back to getting your door kicked in. Any time you mail-order a List 1 chemical the seller is supposed to report your purchase to the DEA. Whether that happens reliably on, say, eBay is another question, but hobbyist chemists should give it some serious thought before ordering a List 1 chemical. This graph of intoxication levels over a period of eight hours is the result of human experiments with MDMA.[1] The top line is from a dose of 1.5 mg/kg, the middle line is from 0.5 mg/kg, and the bottom is from controls (no drugs).

It is quite easy for drug dealers to mix MDMA powder with any substance that looks like it, so taking MDMA powder does not necessarily mean you are not unknowingly taking other substances mixed with the drug. It’s best to only take a single dose of MDMA in an evening. Many people will take more when they start to ‘come down’ off the first dose. It seems likely that multiple dosing like this will increase the risk of overheating as dopamine levels steadily rise and the dopamine suppressing effects of serotonin are reduced by decreasing serotonin levels. Although a lot of people are obviously doing this without obvious ill effects, in the absence of further research I’m not ready to endorse multiple dosing as safe.

How MDMA is Made: Key Procedures Explained

Under the influence of MDMA, your mind can switch topics rather quickly and completely. You may decide to get something from another room, go there, and then not be able to remember what it was you were looking for because you starting thinking about something else. This isn’t amnesia in the usual sense, just a complete loss of focus on what you were doing when something else comes up.

If you’re going to dose at home then head out you must have a designated driver or other transportation plans that aren’t dependent on your sobriety. Yes, you usually have around minutes until full effects…but it could also take as little as 20 minutes, and there appear to be minor effects even before you actually feel ‘high’. You really don’t want to be behind the wheel when it kicks in. When you come down, you’ll probably be tired and distracted…it’s best if somebody else drives you home. Manufacturing ecstasy requires combining several toxic chemicals, including formaldehyde, mercury, and ammonium chloride. MDMA is incredibly dangerous to make, and the chemical reactions and exposure to substances like mercury can permanently harm you or even kill you.

Another issue with MDMA use is that, as with any intoxicating drug, you might do something that seemed like a good idea at the time but which you might regret the next day. Maybe you were a little more open with your feelings than you planned. Maybe you had sex with somebody that by the light of the day after wasn’t necessarily a good match for you. It’s one more reason to either use in a public setting (such as a rave) where you can’t really get yourself in trouble, or a private setting with people you really trust. Next, MDP2P is reductively aminated to MDMA oil in a dissolving metal reduction process known as the mercury-aluminum amalgam.

The end result, after 8 hours of constant stirring, is the ketone MDP2P. The MDP2P is extracted with an organic solvent and purified by vacuum distillation, resulting in a light yellow colored oil that is stable only at low temperatures. The oil is distilled under a vacuum to isolate safrole from other phenylpropenes and terpenoids found in sassafras. Sassafras oils are List 1 chemicals, closely watched and not easily obtained in the United States in large quantities. MDMA is structurally related to the amphetamine class of drugs, which includes methamphetamine and its homolog MDA (3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine). Like methamphetamine, MDMA exists in two enantiomeric forms (R and S).

If you’re in no state to eat, try a smoothie or a light soup. If using one of these classic psychedelics, like LSD or shrooms, we strongly recommend reading the acid/shrooms/psychedelics guide Tripsafe. Interaction risks are unclear, but there have been a fair number of deaths involving MDMA and cocaine mixing. Typically, the first signs that the drug is taking effect with be a feeling of light-headedness, tingling skin, sometimes feeling warm or chilled. Bruxism is mainly seen during the latter part of the ‘high’, and can be dealt with in a number of ways.

In fact, it’s best if you don’t order sassafras oil at all. Purified safrole is suspicious in any quantity and should never be ordered. From there on it’s just a matter of waiting out the storm. Surround yourself with positive people, go easy on the physical exertion, and don’t watch, read, or listen to anything that could potentially topple your fragile emotional state. Also try to wait a little while before you take MDMA again—ideally at least three to five weeks. You’ll be better placed to maximise the benefits that way.

Australian Teens are Taking Twice as Much Ecstasy as Three Years Ago

Producing such peak experiences depends on the dosage taken, the environment, and the person’s mental and physical state going in. At lower doses, etc. the experience is much milder (but still often remarkable.) How far you want to take it is up to you. At low doses, a person on MDMA can wander about public places, strike up conversations, etc. and not be thought of as ‘odd’ or particularly noticed. At low doses, you just feel unusually cheerful, sociable and energetic, as though you were extraordinarily well rested and relaxed.

Tiny amounts can be obtained by breaking open mercury tilt switches. Mercury metal, like palladium, can be oxidized to a chloride salt with aqua regia. In a 1,000 ml round bottom flask, place 12 g of pieces of heavy duty aluminum foil (the stuff used in the kitchen.)  Toss in a large stir bar. After throwing in a magnetic stir bar, they stirred this mixture for at least an hour (preferably longer) to dissolve the benzoquinone.

MDMA usually takes effect in about minutes when swallowed. However, some people will start to feel high in less time, and in some cases (for instance, if you’ve taken the MDMA after a meal) it could take an hour or more to kick in. Snorted MDMA can take effect much more quickly, and injecting (which I strongly advise against) is almost instant. The drug can start to affect your judgement and attention span before you feel particularly ‘high’, so you shouldn’t drive or do other potentially dangerous things after taking a dose of MDMA. As of 2017 Ecstasy pills in the US have been relatively pure, with most Ecstasy pills sold in the US now containing primarily MDMA.6 Some pills particularly in Europe are dangerous as they contain real MDMA, but at too high/unsafe dosages.

A small amount of pot before taking MDMA may reduce nausea and anxiety (if the user isn’t entirely comfortable with using MDMA). If used simultaneously the two drugs may not mix well and/or interfere with each other. Smoking a large amount of pot while high on MDMA can be counterproductive and unpleasant. Because of this interplay between drug and environment, you have a great deal of control over the experience based on your choices. If you want to go sit in a dark quiet room, you can have a perfectly boring, pointless experience.
