Unless you are in for a bit of TLC (thin layer chromatography, not tender loving care... but that may come) you probably wont know. You'll end up calling it a 'mashy pill' or something like that because basically it will be a mixture of anything, or all one substance, most ppl wont know. EZ supreme... will indicate the major substance in the pill but not the whole content... it would be lovely to know what we are taking. (note this is a bit of a rant)

If EZ-Test Supreme/E2 is coming up MDA or MDEA or something along thoes lines then most likley thats what the main ingredient is (even to thoes who are skeptical about pill tests). However... it doesnt tell you how much is in the pill, how pure it is or if its safe

But, that's just lazy... all you have to do is click search and type in "MDMA MDEA difference" and you can find a bunch of posts on this topic.
Anyway aside from that there are a few more references that can help:

Click the name of the substance you're interested in, and scroll past all the chemical synthesis notes. The next part after the synthesis is a documentation of dose dependent effects of the chemicals, and some historical notes from the author, Dr. Shulgin.
