-A study conducted by 10 drug-checking organisations from the TEDI network found that the increase in MDMA content in tablets in this time period was directly related to an increase in the average weight of ecstasy tablets (Vrolijk et al., 2022). The average content of MDMA in ecstasy tablets appears to be on a slight downward trend from 2019, after close to a decade of increasingly stronger (and larger) tablets becoming available on the market. On occasion, neurotoxic compounds such as PMMA (5) are detected mixed with, or as a replacement for, MDMA in ecstasy tablets. From 2019 onwards a new cycle appears to have begun, whereby the number of ecstasy tablets containing other substances alongside, or instead of, MDMA has increased (as expressed by a drop in percentage in the indexed trends shown above from 96 % in 2019 to 73 % in 2022). Crystal MDMA was marketed as a purer product compared to ecstasy tablets, an assertion that was and remains largely true (see Section The trend of large tablets containing more MDMA may be reversing).

 +MDMA, due to its psychoactive effects and potential for misuse, is a substance often tested for in various drug screening processes. MDMA, commonly known as Ecstasy or Molly, is a psychoactive synthetic [[https://royalmedspharma.com/product/ecstasy-pills-for-sale/|buy ecstasy]] drug that affects users’ emotions. Since most users take this drug only occasionally, dependence is not very prominent. Although some users become dependent, very few cases of MDMA-specific dependence have been reported in the literature.

-(1) The European Web Survey on Drugs (EWSD) is a voluntary, anonymous survey run by the EUDA and its partners targeting directly people who use drugs who are 18 years old or older, and are living in one of the participating countries. When using wastewater data to estimate MDMA markets, the use of MDMA is based on the excreted parent drug, rather than on an excreted metabolite (which is the case for some other drugs, such as cocaine and heroin). While a slight decrease in price was observed in 2022 for ecstasy tablets, this may not be statistically significant or sustained in the coming years. In fact, it could be argued that MDMA in the form of ecstasy tablets became cheaper between 2012 and 2019 as tablets containing larger quantities of MDMA became increasingly available on the market (see Section The trend of large tablets containing more MDMA may be reversing).+Although often used interchangeably, ecstasy and MDMA are not necessarily synonyms. Additionally, particularly with instant messaging applications, transactions may be organised online, but completed using in-person pick-up or ‘dead-drop’ delivery. This appears to be supported by existing studies that indicate that MDMA is bought online mostly by retail distributors for the purpose of re-sale rather than purchased directly by retail clients (Aldridge and Décary-Hétu, 2016; Gremeaux, 2022). Data collected from individuals submitting MDMA samples to drug-checking services between 2019 and 2022 appear to support these findings from the EWSD.

The pull factors of the darknet in the current illegal market highlight important challenges for a regulated market. This is up from 48.7% in 2015, when the percentage was also higher than for any other dru

The use of these methods differed between countries, indicating that some purchasing practices are more common in some countries than in others.

-According to 2021 data, tablets and powders/crystals share the EU MDMA market equally, with some variability among countries in terms of preference for either ecstasy tablets or MDMA powders/crystals click to investigate (see Figure 6.1. Distribution of usual MDMA forms across countries). Analysis of drugs sold as MDMA/ecstasy in Australia shows that these contain a wide range of substances, and some contain no MDMA at all. Vendors in the Netherlands appear to be developing a fairly successful international trade of ecstasy-type drugs and stimulants from cryptomarkets, but it appears that most countries are selling illicit drugs within domestic borders. Three quarters of all Dutch revenues from illicit drugs sold on cryptomarkets were from two drug categories — ecstasy-type drugs and stimulants. In the Netherlands, in 2022, the price of 1 kilogram of (locally produced) MDMA crystals was reported at EUR 2 300, whereas 1 litre of MDMA oil (which can be converted into crystals or powder, and subsequently ecstasy tablets) was reported at EUR per litr
