No..your post implied that pure mdma is not as widely available because you can just make crystal with raw ingredients and make more money. Not true. You need more chemicals for the production of mdma. This is a fact..
Nice to have a friend like that I imagine. And for mdma the most critical component is safrole which can be obtained by some tree in asia in the jungles of cambodia/laos ...around that area. I saw a documentary where dudes in jungles where extracting the chemical and had to chop down huge trees in order to get it...lol.
regarding the emboldened: oh yes, its very true.
secondly, one of us get our info from a documentary. one of us didnt.
and ps you can synthesize safrole from completely legal ingredients, the main one being phenol, which you can import from china. if you'd like i can suggest a good source.
