I read champignons and it kind of fit even better. Adderall (Brave New World) and mushrooms (Island).

Soma in BNW is more analogous to MDMA as it's about sedated pleasure, not mental clarity/performance.

MDMA isn't sedated pleasure, it's very stimmy pleasure.

Kind of depends really. I’ve definitely had Molly trips that have been very oozy/cuddly/spacey.

I really prefer the term ‘ecstacy’ for mdma paired with a stimulant, even if it’s just caffeine - because that is a distinct experience.
