        In some areas ecstasy is primarily used to describe pressed pills that have mdma as the main active ingredient, while molly refers to pure mdma, either in baggies or capsules.

          to add to this, a lot of what was sold as ecstasy (at least back in my day) contained little to no mdma at all and was typically just a cheap upper of some sort. originally ecstasy was close to 1:1 slang for pressed mdma pills but over time it became more attached to the pills and less to the molly specifically (mostly for marketing purposes).

          of course you can crush x and snort it but at that point it would probably be more accurate to refer to it as molly or speed depending on what’s actually in it.

            Yeah, we definitely still needed reagent test kits back then. At least the one that would turn yellow for the common fake kind at the time, and black for mdma. But the real stuff was still around.

          MDMA in a pill baggy or capsule it’s the same. That molly you’re buying isn’t pure either

            Right. It’s the pressed pills that get the “ecstasy” name in my area, which have binders.

            That molly you’re buying isn’t pure either

            It’s been a long time for me. I’m sure that’s now the case.

              Honestly it’s the purest it’s ever been in Europe. It used to be cut to fuck or pills were pressed with all sorts of shit Inc mainly speed.

              I’ve taken with old skool heads that used to take a lot back in the day and they all agreed the new stuff rocks their socks off. Buying from a reputable seller I must say.

                Pills now just have more MDMA in it. When I used to go out pills would around 100mg. Now it’s double or triple that.

      MDMA is the active ingredient of ecstasy and sure you can snort it I guess but it hurts like a mother and in all my years I have honestly never seen anyone snort mdma.

      I saw people try to break up an XTC pill to put into a joint once but they were clueless and I had to tell them that wasn’t how you did that lol

        It only really hurts if it’s crystalline or crushed pills, and you should NEVER snort crushed up pills btw.
