Why are you bringing marijuana into an argument with about meth? What do you think the MA in MDMA stands for

>What do you think the MA in MDMA stands for

This isn’t a very good argument. Table salt is literally Sodium and Chlorine, both of which are extremely toxic to humans but that’s irrelevant to anyone who understands that molecules have different effects than other molecules that share part of the same name.

Again though, mdma can kill you even if it’s completely pure. This is especially true if you take MAOIs or drink not enough/too much water or take any other meds that mess with serotonin. Please research things carefully.

The core molecule is amphetamine. Everything else is a binder that determines how long and how many passes it takes for your system. Adderall and methamphetamine only differ by a methyl group which makes it break down slower.

Because he is pointing towards this absurd hypocrisy? Are you aware that these substances are two different things?

Sorry, no. MDMA is not the same as meth. The molecules are similar, sure, but they are different substances with different effects. Trying to equate the two is pretty disingenuous.

That's the first time I see people mentioning meth and MDMA in the same convo. Also meth != methylene
