Differance between pills and pure MDMA powder

[Fantasian]

SWIM's Friend has recently been able to get hold of a gram of pure MDMA power as well as numerous pills. SWIM has never done E before and isn't sure which to do first or whether to do either or both?

1) whats the differance between MDMA pure powder and pills?

2) Would you advise E as a fun and safe(ish) experience? (Obviously no phychoactive experience is safe but i mean within riskable limits)

SWIM is 18, and 6.2 and 12 stone and has done previously the following in chronological order:
Alchohol
Tobacco
Cannabis
DXM
Codeine
Tramadol
Hydrocodone
Hydromorphone
Valium
Morphine
Mushrooms
- Maybe MDMA could come in here -
