MDMA

How much is typical?

80–120 mg of MDMA is a common single adult dose. A whole pill can contain much more. Many tested pills had 130–180 mg. Some have had more than 300 mg.

Weigh crystals or powder

Use a milligram scale on a flat surface. Put the empty tray on it, press tare to zero it, then weigh the sample. Check the scale’s minimum reliable weight.

0.080 g is 80 mg of material. A scale weighs everything in the sample. Ask a drug-checking service if it can measure how much is MDMA.

Split a strong pill

Ask your source how many mg of MDMA are in the pill. Get the amount checked. If you take any untested pill anyway, avoid taking it whole. Even a piece can be strong.

If a tested pill is much stronger than one dose, crush the whole pill, mix the powder well, and weigh a smaller portion. Half the powder from a 200 mg pill is about 100 mg if it’s evenly mixed.

Give it time

Effects often start in 20–60 minutes and can build for over two hours. Don’t take more because it feels slow or weak.

Stay cool and avoid mixing

Take breaks somewhere cool. Sip water and avoid drinking large amounts at once. Avoid mixing with other stimulants or MAOI antidepressants. Ask a pharmacist about your meds.

Check a sample

A reagent kit gives clues about what’s inside. It can’t measure strength. Use a separate fentanyl strip and follow the dilution directions.
