| - | The share of acute drug-toxicity presentations involving MDMA increased as compared to other substances and the previous year (or MDMA was reported for the first time) in 10 of the Euro-DEN hospitals. 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). Demand-based estimates may underestimate the size of drug markets for a number of reasons, including difficulty reaching some groups of users, and underreporting of prevalence and quantities used by respondents. Estimates of amounts used suggest that about 72.4 million ecstasy tablets were consumed in the European Union in 2021. The total quantity of MDMA consumed in Europe is reached by multiplying the number of users by the amount used, combining prevalence data from general population surveys and the amount used from the EWSD. Information gathered in the 2021 EWSD suggests that, on average, those who reported having used MDMA in the last 12 months, consumed one ecstasy tablet or 0.4 grams of MDMA in crystal or powders form each time they used the drug. | ||

| - | 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, | ||

| - | More rarely, almost pure MDMA base in liquid form has been sold to consumers, which represents a serious health risk (Drugs Information Monitoring System [DIMS], 2022). For example, alcoholic drinks containing MDMA are submitted for drug checking from time to time.

| - | Data on prevalence of use provide an indication of the structure, location and approximate size of retail MDMA markets in the European Union. Consumers in the Netherlands will typically pay EUR 4.50 per tablet buy ecstasy but, as stated above, prices may reach as high as EUR 19 per tablet in some European countries, and more in other regions of the world. The subsequent drop in MDMA content in tablets since 2019 does not appear to have been accompanied by a significant drop in price. In 2021, adult respondents to the EWSD reported paying a median of EUR 7.20 per ecstasy tablet and a median of EUR 37.40 per gram for MDMA powde | ||

| - | Adulteration of MDMA occurs by adding other psychoactive substances, typically stimulants, to MDMA in tablet, powder or crystal form. PMK glycidate, first reported in Europe in 2013, had a particular role in this resurgence (see Section Production - designer precursors substitute scheduled MDMA starting materials). In 2009 and the following years, it was therefore unlikely that consumers who purchased ecstasy in Europe would obtain unadulterated MDMA. In 2009, on average, only 31 % of the tablets analysed contained MDMA alone, compared with almost 100 % in 2004. This includes law enforcement pressure, a variety of factors affecting MDMA production, such as the availability of MDMA precursors, and, more generally, globalisation of the illicit drug supply chain | ||
