Background: I first took mdma 9 years ago. I have strong experience with mdma, mda, lsd, mushrooms, mescaline (teas and the extracted hcl salt). I have extensive experience with numerous other drugs/psychedelics but that's not important to know for reading this experience so Iยll leave it at that for now.

Summary
MDEA is a Schedule I controlled substance in most countries. The substance is characterized by a more sedating, 'stoning' quality compared to MDMA, with less emphasis on social connection and more on physical relaxation. MDEA requires careful dosing with an accurate milligram scale, adequate hydration without over-drinking, and temperature regulation in warm environments.
Perspectives
“There was a warm light all about me. And a gentle, almost alcohol-like, intoxication. The drug seems to change my state of awareness, but it does nothing else. The world is as intense or as dull as I choose to make it. At the 1.5 hour point I was clearly dropping, and an hour later yet, completely without residue.”

Material : The MDE was from a reliable source in the form of hard powder chunks in capsules. The certainty of material was pretty high. The MDE powder tastes bitter, especially strong on the front of the tongue. Zam thinks it tastes about the same as MDMA, while Zara thinks it's not quite as bitter as MDMA or 2CB.
I was traveling across the country with a friend and came upon an old buddy of his who had purchased a jar of 'MDE'. I had never experienced this before and was curious to find out what, if any differance there might be from MDMA. After ingestion, the pill kicked in surprisingly fast, aprox. 15 minutes...FULL SWING.
Okay, so we took some of what we were told was MDE, to mark the new year. We are mostly sure that it was in fact MDE, but it's difficult to be sure. 12:27 am (T+ 0) - We threw down. The tablets were diamond-shaped, fairly small, with brown specks.

i thought i'd share this here since MDEA trip reports are so rare to find online. the MDEA was pure, not a pressed pill. so enclosed are 2 trip reports. the first is a trip report by my friend. then under the "======" break is my trip report.

MDEA(MDE) - 350mg experienced Most people i have come across on these forums seem to beleive MDE is nothing more then some sort of inerior cousin to MDMA. I have personally found this drug to be just as enjoyable experience as MDMA, although it is more of a "stoned" type high as opposed to a light as feathers dancy ecs...
