In 1985, you could buy MDMA legally.
WITH A CREDIT CARD.
I'm not even joking.
A bar called the Tex's Ranch in Dallas was selling MDMA for $20 a pill.
The owner, Joe Moren, said they were selling around 300 pills A WEEK.
And yeah, some customers actually paid by credit card.
Because back then, Ecstasy was LEGAL.
Then, on July 1, 1985, the DEA banned it.
One day, you could buy it like a beer.
The next, it was a federal crime.
Imagine being there on June 30.
"LAST CALL" must've hit DIFFERENT. 😂
