Homemade MDMA


I'm really into the whole DIY thing. I make my own beer, I love to cook and grow my own vegetables. I built my own motorcycle, my computer, and I do most of the handiwork on my house... but this is ridiculous:

I realize this isn't the first thing that comes to most people's minds when they come across a story like this, but wouldn't things be a lot safer, cleaner and less expensive if enforcement agencies just gave up on this whole "war on drugs" business? I mean, can you imagine Bayer, GSK, or Pfizer with an operation like this? What you see here is purely a byproduct of prohibition. Just my .02.

doesn't seem to actually work out that cheap either making it yourself, best off paying that tiny bit extra and save the hassle and have assured quality and get it off a local dealer!!

I'll take your word for it... although. I doubt that your local dealer's quality standards are going to be any better than yours. Chances are high that your local dealer gets his/her pills from an apartment like the one pictured above. If I remember the story correctly, they found a pound of powder in the vacuum bag... dollars to doughnuts that pound was going to find its way into a pill press.

that would explain why you can't spell a simple word correctly whereas the two posters above you, who are obviously drug users, managed to spell every one of theirs? do i have to mention how much longer their paragraphs are?

drugs are good, noob.

Just for clarification, I'm not a "drug user" in the common sense. I guess I am according to the literal definition, but my recreational drug use is limited to caffeine and alcohol. I've never used MDMA.
