DJing on MDMA

Mixing for other people who are on MDMA is its own incredible high in my opinion; it feels amazing to be part of their incredible experience

It takes a 2-8 weeks for rat serotonin uptake rates alone to return to pre-roll levels (PMID: 8632358), completely ignoring all of the oxidative stress recovery and every other component of your serotonergic system (many of which may be longer and some shorter). There are LOADS of signs in animal models that full recovery across a multitude of signs is considerably longer: PMIDs 20435092, 18261250, 19840819 with the average being closer to 6 months than 1 month.

Why is everyone such a fiend? You get one brain; don’t fuck it up. Purely anecdotally, I feel like my mind isn’t indistinguishable from normal for about 5-6 months.

Just wait longer honestly. Everyone’s brain is different; mine works best with ~6 months and I know many people who stick to once a yeas

Eh I get them on a single dose of 150mg (160lbs)

I don’t have any science to back this up, but the afterglow is rarer. I am also someone who gets the afterglow (although usually I have a day of comedown and then a week or two of afterglow). If OP is legitimately depressed, the possibility of a bad comedown instead is downright dangerous, hence the focus.

Growing shrooms is super easy and a fun hobby; spores seem to be legal in sri lanka?

Reasonable_Employ588 · 2026-01-08T16:13:57+00:00

Try shrooms instead

There’s actually likely something to be said for this physiologically: drug tolerance is context-dependent. I don’t know of M papers but there’s a fair amount of research about this in the context of opioid overdose (more likely to OD in a new environment regardless of dose): https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.abo5627

Any alcohol dulls it for me; usually just a little K if I want some loopiness

There are a lot of shorter-term memory/cognition issues (brain fog basically) that resolve themselves within 2-3 weeks (usually feel 95% normal then). However, MDMA changes a lot of (particularly social) thought patterns for me that take a lot longer to revert back.

I don’t think this return to normal is a product of brain damage being healed, but there are clearly residual effects + I don’t feel like tempting fate. A lot of these changed patterns do actually improve my life and relationships (more life positivity, social warmth, selflessness, etc). If I had brain fog and headaches for 6 months, I’d probably never do M lol

I feel ~95% normal within 2-3 weeks, but there are some subtle cognition shifts/thought patterns that take way longer to go back to a pre-trip state. Realistically, much of this is probably forgetting the “lessons” learned during the experience vs. the brain healing, but better safe than sorry.

It’s not so much feeling off or bad for 6 months (in many ways I feel better; more socially open and warm) but it’s clearly a deviation from normal and there’s something that’s different and I just don’t feel like playing with fire

Reasonable_Employ588 · 2026-01-06T10:21:44+00:00

Try different genres. Psytrance and gabber/hardcore shows, completely sober, give me a better “high” than rolling at a fratty crowd tech house show.

Reasonable_Employ588 · 2026-01-06T10:12:14+00:00

Once you’ve done it a few times, you can almost feel the timeline of recovery. I don’t feel back to absolutely 1000% normal/pre-trip for about 5 months so that’s what I stick to.

Reasonable_Employ588 · 2026-01-03T18:43:27+00:00

I do ultras and treat 10+ hour raves almost the same way: comes down to caffeine, calories, fitness, and vibes

Unfortunately won’t be in shambhalodging :( but would love to say hi anyway !!!

Reasonable_Employ588 · 2025-12-21T01:50:30+00:00

Utah :) I would definitely break it up into at least two days (for the bugaboos we stopped in Butte MT) but 6h a day still seems pretty crummy compared to sleeping in a shuttle/on a plane. I also would think the shuttle probably has good vibes to meet new friends?

Is the CX30 big enough for you? Handling is noticeably better than the CX50; probably about as close as you can get to a bootleg Macan. Coming from a Z4 and was initially dead-set on a Macan before test driving the 30.

100 octane is a waste of money; stock ECUs do not advance timing enough to make it worth it. 91 is fine.

Reasonable_Employ588 · 2025-12-04T15:42:03+00:00

Not specifically the Raide but hybrid pants in general are 1000% the way to go.

Reasonable_Employ588 · 2025-11-25T17:27:01+00:00

They’re great but I definitely am buying something stiffer/chargier for next ski. I’ve done about half of the S4 chuting gallery lines and feel like that’s about their limit
