Have you done pure MDMA? Like actually tested it before hand to make sure? It’s an extremely different experience to alcohol or other psychedelics. Your description sounds more like the cut E that is mostly just speed or other drugs.
It's also important to mention that pure MDMA is much rarer in the US than it is in Europe, and given that HN is very majority American, it is likely to find more experiences with bad quality MDMA here than you would in another forum
In some more liberal countries you can buy kits that let you know what you've just bought off that bloke at the end of the bar with the stickers still on his baseball cap.
