| - | In 2023, 39 % of the MDMA tablets tested by drug checking organisations submitting data to the TEDI network contained between 100 and 149.0 milligrams of MDMA (35 % in the same period in 2022), and 26 % contained between 150 and 199.9 milligrams (29 % in 2022 | ||
| - | Where prevalence is higher, it may suggest that MDMA is no longer a niche or subcultural drug limited to dance clubs and parties in those markets. According to survey data, the two largest MDMA consumer markets per capita in the European Union are the Netherlands and Ireland, with 6 % or more mdma for sale online people aged 15 to 34 reporting to have consumed MDMA in the last year.

| - | It’s important to be careful when taking any type of drug. This makes it hard to know what reactions to expect after taking MDMA or if negative side effects will be experienced. RAND is a research organization that develops solutions to public policy challenges to help make communities throughout the world safer and more secure, healthier and more prosperous. In essence, cryptomarkets have grown at a fairly decent rate since 2013, but their global impact could be overstated — for now. The specialization also reflects the interconnection of physical and virtual drug distribution channel | ||

| - | Together, these two data sources suggests that the large majority of MDMA users buy the drug themselves, and that a smaller proportion obtains it for free, despite marked differences among EU countries. Despite their image as risk-taking hedonists, people who use drugs recreationally do seek out and share harm reduction strategies, often alongside ‘pleasure maximisation’ strategies (the latter often requiring considerable knowledge of drug research, policy and practice). Given the right information and opportunities, | ||

| - | It is clear that MDMA has a considerably more resilient popularity than any other amphetamine-type stimulant or synthetic drug that has entered the market in recent history. As so often, enforcement interventions have failed to prevent rising use, or prevent supply in the longer term, instead only serving to temporarily displace using behaviours and mutate the market in ways that increased health harms. Of those who reported obtaining MDMA in the 2019 Global Drug Survey, 67% reported having obtained it through the darknet — higher than mdma for sale online for any other dru | ||

Some of the high-strength ecstasy tablets are scored to allow consumers to divide them into smaller portions. These identifications of high-strength ecstasy tablets prompted harm reduction organisations to issue alerts. In December 2023, beige-golden ecstasy pills with an Audi-logo containing over 300 milligrams of MDMA (between 316 and 324 milligrams) were submitted to drug testing in the Netherlands (DIMS, 2023). However, this trend appears to be changing, as ecstasy tablets have tended to contain less MDMA since 201 | ||
