Gas began to come out of the dispersion tube, which I immersed in the toluene filtrate. Absolutely nothing had happened after several minutes and I was convinced I had totally f---ed up. Then a wisp here and there of white material started to appear, and within 30 seconds there were giant clouds of puffy MDMA HCl cascading out of solution. I nearly s--- my pants.
I noticed that he was not quite on the ball at one stage, I put it down to technical problems with the microphone or something, but you may be right!

I studied a lot of articles about MDMA as research for a novel idea I have, but I wouldn't like to try making it, I don't think you can get the chemicals without attracting the attention of the Police unless you was working in the chemistry industry or a criminal.
But you Sue with a PhD in Organic Chemistry could probably turn your hand to it!
It is a fascinating subject.
This video features the guy who re-discovered MDMA and could be labelled as the man who is responsible for the whole thing?
P.S. some of the video was used in the TV program.
