If you're interested in MDMA therapy, you may want to learn about IFS therapy.
Here are some reasons that you’ll benefit massively from looking into IFS therapy if you’re interested in MDMA therapy.
I wrote this post because I recently discovered IFS and have found it so useful that I want to help more people discover it. I have no association with any IFS companies – I just want more people to discover the benefits!
MDMA therapy seems to enhance IFS therapy, and IFS is a primary therapy method used by MDMA therapists.

MDMA Safer Use Guide: Just the Basics
An acronym to help remember the following is:
HOW IF
H: Heat stroke
O: Overdose signs
W: Water / salt / hyponatremia
I: Interactions with other drugs/medicines or health conditions
F: Fake MDMA
How will you roll safer if you don’t know the following?
The acronym isn’t perfect, as just remembering “overdose signs” doesn’t mean you’ll remember the overdose signs, but seems to be better than nothing. And you can always visit this page again later when you need it.

Why You May Want To Donate to MAPS
If you’re reading this, you’re likely one of the most thoughtful people that are interested in drugs. Seriously.
If you use drugs, you’re probably the type of person who researches what you take before you take it, checks your dose, only uses with trusted people, etc.
You might even be the sort of helpful and generous person who helps make sure your friends are also safe when using.
Have you given up on hoping for a better future?

MDMA Addiction: Treatment
What if I’m concerned about myself or a loved one’s use of MDMA? While “research hasn’t definitively answered whether MDMA is addictive,”1 there are certainly still people who may be concerned about their own use of MDMA or a loved one’s use of MDMA. This may be especially relevant for MDMA use that is particularly suboptimal - e.g. high doses, very frequent use (e.g. >1x per month), using in particularly unsafe or hot environments, etc.

MDMA Magic Survey - Mediating Variables Analysis
Full credit to Ahnjili, and to RC for the introduction to Ahnjili.
Ahnjili - thank you for helping advance the cutting edge of research around the loss of MDMA’s magic! This may become particularly important as MDMA looks to become a prescription drug in the US for treating PTSD as early as 2021.
Which factors most accurately predict whether someone will lose the “magic” of MDMA over time? The main gist of the story is that frequency of consumption (and not total number of sessions of MDMA), mental health and physical health are key factors in predicting mdma magic loss.

How long does it take for Molly (MDMA) to kick in?
On an empty or mostly empty stomach, new users should know that they have taken molly within about 60 minutes.
If you’re a new user taking MDMA on an empty or mostly empty stomach, you should notice the MDMA kick in around 1 hour after ingestion - experienced users who are familiar with the effects may notice it kick in after as little as 30 minutes.1 2
A warning, however: A substantial portion of substances sold as MDMA aren’t really MDMA, and so if you’re experiencing different timing than described here, you may not have real MDMA.

What's in Molly? Learn The Ingredients in the Drug Molly
What should be in Molly? Molly should contain only pure MDMA.
Read the complete guide to MDMA, including what MDMA is and safety information.
What is Molly actually made of? According to US Government DEA reports:
In 2015, many drugs that were sold as MDMA/molly turned out to be synthetic cathinones, such as methylone or ethylone, as a replacement for the advertised drug.1
New Jersey: In 2014, reporting indicated that much of the MDMA being trafficked in New Jersey was actually methylone.

How often can you take MDMA (Molly/Ecstasy) and roll?
Am I doing damage by rolling too often? What damage? Is the 3 month rule real? How often should I wait? Ann Shulgin: “I quit with no problem, but ten years later I tried it again, and instead of that wonderful feeling of connection with everything, it made me depressed. The exact opposite of what it should be. I tried it once more and the same thing happened, so I stopped.

MDMA/Psychedelic Drug Testing Center
How to set up an MDMA/psychedelic testing center This is an idea from DanceSafe founder Emanuel Sferios that could really improve public health and prevent unnecessary drug-related deaths.
RollSafe isn’t going to run this - but someone who reads this might!
The idea: Setting up a highly accurate drug testing facility in high drug use areas (e.g. large college campuses, large cities) to provide free drug testing a few days a week.

Is the MDMA Comedown Real? Effects of Molly The Day After
Is the Molly/MDMA comedown a real thing? Short answer: We believe the comedown is preventable if you:
Get 9+ hours of sleep the night after rolling and ideally the night before rolling, too. We believe this is the factor that people most often confuse with an MDMA comedown. People think they are feeling bad the day after due to MDMA, but it’s actually mostly due to mild sleep deprivation. Take safer dosages, perhaps less than 180 mg total during a session for a male or 120 mg for a female/smaller person Test your MDMA so you know it’s not fake Don’t mix other drugs that have comedowns with MDMA Take breaks between consecutive MDMA uses, perhaps at least 3 weeks Interestingly, in MAPS sponsored MDMA clinical research, depressed mood in days 1-7 following MDMA use was observed in 13% of patients in the placebo condition, and 13% of patients in the 100-125 mg condition!

EDC Tips (Updated 2019)
I compiled a giant list of tips for EDC. Enjoy! This doesn’t include a shopping list.
Before the event begins
Don’t put your wristband on until Friday before you leave for the event. Follow the instructions for putting it on. It’s nearly impossible to remove once on, or to un-tighten once tightened. Put it on your right wrist only! Don’t tamper with your wristband at all — you may be denied entry.
