I would be so scared to be a recreational user of MDMA at this point in time, because from what I hear there is a large amount of fentanyl and other concentrated opiates floating around in the street drug supply.

This is one of the great things about the dark web marketplaces - you can order from a supplier who already has a track record of positive reviews, and every incentive to keep it that way.

You can (and should) get your stuff tested.

The effects of MDMA and opiates are entirely opposite - why would someone cut MDMA with fentanyl?

My guess would be it's an issue with cross contamination, not an intentional mixture of the two.

Even the police stopping me every time at the border probably wake up with a cup of coffee, get a beer on Friday and maybe smoke a cigarette.
We won't stop drugs because people don't want to.
Agree on the legalisation though. In the Netherlands at least, I find it hard to name more than a few individuals in my social group (university students from a range of studies) that aren’t recreational users of XTC/psychedelics. Having visited festivals and clubs in other European countries, I think the situation is not much different there.
It seems a bit pointless to keep spending money on hunting these markets when the market consists of such a large percentage of the population. Most people still get it through dealers aswell, delivery is quicker than ordering pizza.
More concerning are obviously the weapons, credit cards, etc. sold on these markets. Taking away the sales of drugs would probably help in that fight.
