What happens now is that you can still buy MDMA, you just can't get a prescription.

And have to risk it being poisoned or contaminated with other drugs too.

If you get mdma from other places besides the pharmacy, make sure to test it with fentanyl strips and reagent tests. Yeah a kit is a bit pricy, but it's worth it to stay alive and not unknowingly end up doing bath salts or other random drugs, which are extremely common (yes even if your guy says he's got the best, purest shit)

for those wondering; Marquis and dedicated fentanyl testkits

This is very important. Fentanyl is extremely addictive and even small doses(I think it was something like 2mg of it, but not to sure) is enough to kill you in a horrible way. Lots of drugs are being cut with Fentanyl, since its cheap as hell and since the addiction to it drives drug sales outnumbering the losses of those who die from overdoses.

One of my buddies got molly laced with meth at a big concert venue. I think he kinda stopped doing drugs after that episode. Left him shook. And that was before fentanyl really was hitting the mainstream.

That's because the government is fucking stupid.
