ELI5: The quality of drugs

I always see people posting on here about stuff like "this is the best MDMA ive ever had" and my question is: what makes a drug "the best" other than purity? Also, why does some molly not cause teeth/jaw clenching or not cause a comedown? My apologies if this sub isnt the place to ask questions like this, im a newbie. Currently off .3 of some shitty "dealer" molly thats at best 50% pure, id love to try some of that good shit you guys get lol.

Purity is a big deal. Also cleanliness. Clandestine labs are not really held up to any form of standard, so it's difficult to find really clean stuff. It's also not easy to get all of the precursor to reactive properly etc etc. MDMA has a comedown, but that will be exacerbated by methylone, methamphetamine, amphetamine, everything that MDMA can be cut with can effect your roll. Good, properly reacted MDMA is fantastic.

Want some good stuff? We are always gonna be around. Prices start off at 300 usd for 20g as well. Supply that so called "dealer" you got that garbage from and make a buck while you are at it.

Big Bird Strongly reccommends you take a look at what an mdma superlab and small lab looks like: http://www.bluelight.org/vb/threads/640780-MDMA-Superlabs-with-Pictures-(Follow-on-from-Posters-to-make-you-stop-taking-E)

It may look really dirty and the conditions look horrible...... But those superlabs you see are actually producing high 80s-to 100% pure mdma.

Also some people will say having visuals on mdma and having a hard time using a touchscreen phone or anything bright is because some mdma gets converted to mda in higher dosages.

Especially for psychedelics (which MDMA is, at least partially), set and setting mean a lot. If you are expecting a good clean trip, that's likely going to happen. If you are expecting a dirty gross trip (or whatever), that's likely going to happen, regardless of the purity of the drug.

If you convince yourself that you're taking the best-of-the-best, it's going to set the stage for a best-of-the-best trip. Even if it's all placebo, it's worth spending extra time and money to feel like you're doing as best as possible. Even if you know it's placebo, the placebo effect still works.

Now... that's for distinguishing between two batches of stuff at equivalent purity. Which, on the DNMs, is pretty easy to get. If you do your research correctly and you do your testing correctly, you should be able to find multiple sources of potent, clean drug.

In the case of MDMA, it's often cut with other drugs that can reduce clenching or create other effects. In the case of LSD, you might get an nbome. More likely, you'll just get a really underpowered tab and it'll feel less clean. Or you'll get DOX or one of the other common substitutes. And with that stuff, you never know what the dealer is cutting it with.

When it comes to DNMs, we don't care what you buy, suit yourself. But we do care that dealers are honest about what they are selling. If MDMA works better when you cut it with a little cocaine, advertise that you're cutting it with cocaine, don't tell us it's just MDMA. And no, fuck your proprietary secret sauce recipe. This is my brain you're talking about. Drugs can do a lot of damage and can have bad effects if mixed poorly or if overdosed. I want a safe experience, and that means I need to know exactly what I'm about to take, and what all of the risks and effects are.

In short, take your time, do your research, and learn what drugs have what effects and use that to guide your experimentation. Then find a dealer who's selling exactly what you want, and avoid anyone who's got some secret solution for X or Y, and avoid anyone who is selling something other than what they are advertising. Hope this helps.

Everything is the best when you're on molly


[1 Points] Trashcan__Man:

Sometimes I have a bad comedown, and sometimes I have no comedown at all (or I actually have pleasant after-effects) on exactly the same product. Like how two LSD trips on exactly the same product at exactly the same dose can be remarkably different. I think people tend to attribute differences in their experiences to difference in the drugs they took, when that isn't always the case.

Damn, this makes me want to try kacikz now. Sorry pelican, not to burst your bubble, I'd still try you too for the hell of it. I see it being neutral when it comes to 'picking' a MDMA vendor. They're all good in some way shape or form. Always something to learn.

AFAIK, Teeth Grinding (Bruxism) is caused by things added in. i.e Methamphetamine

Edit; apparently not true
