      Density of MDMA.HCl  Bookmark   

I know, I know, some settling of contents may occur during shipping.  It can be pressed into a pill, it can be left light and fluffy.  I know that the "average" dosage is approximately 0.1 mg.  What I need to know is an approximation of volume of 0.1 g of uncompressed MDMA.HCL, and what volume reduction should I expect to achieve with moderate compaction?  Any knowledgable guesses?  Any reliable data available?

Tolerance is a sign of maturity.

Depends on consistency.Powder MDMA is less dense than MDMA in lumps.

For those about to synth,we salute you

     You do mean .1gram correct? ie. 100mg....

      correct dosage  Bookmark   

Yeah, methyl, ya caught me.  As a diurnal creature, my thought processes (such as they are) wane late in the evening.  0.1 g sounds exstatic; 0.1 mg sounds disapointing.

Guess I'll just have to find out for myself.

Thanks, anyway.

      And i'm sure the density also depends on if...  Bookmark   

And i'm sure the density also depends on if you have a hydrated form of MDMA.  just take your powder, weigh out 100mg 5 or 6 times and see how much volume these 5 or 6 piles of powder take up -- they shouldn't be too different -- and take the average

What is the purpose of doing that? It would be much better to sieve and homogenize the powder, and then measure once, with a larger volume.

Also note that the density of your MDMA will differ from batch to batch, even if you are using the same procedure.
