As for why I government controlled supply would tame it, well if you were offered teh choice of $x for a pill, with a 0.001 chance that it would kill you and a $1.5x pill with a 0 chance that it would kill you, which one would you take. Remember, MDMA is not addictive, so there are not huge dependency reasons for buying the cheaper ones. Maybe I am over eistimating human rationality, or the value people place on their own lives, but to me it makes no sense whatsoever to go with the illicit one if there was a government controlled supply around.
