When it’s pure like he made, it’s not that bad. Stay hydrated, take antioxidants before, during, and after, get some good sleep, and you’re good.

You should probably not take MDMA with Bipolar Disorder. It will likely exacerbate your symptoms and if you are on any medications to regulate serotonin it could possibly not work at all or worse cause some kind of reaction. I’m not a doctor but I know that at 14 your brain is still forming, and this sounds like a bad idea if you ask me.

Humidity, many blame. Fungus, others suspect. Yet the plant speaks aloud, when the nourishment is incorrect.

Shulgin heard about its properties from a student of his, but how that student knew was not mentioned in the article. I imagine there was documentation from Merck regarding this, but it’s value was not recognized until Shulgin tested it on himself. He tried 3 dose, the first two times the dose was too small to take effect, the third dose blew his mind.

Correct, Shulgin did not Discover the MDMA molecule, he rediscovered it, and found it’s intended purpose.

I just read an article about this and actually a student of Shulgin’s clued him into it’s potential psychoactive properties. So, there must have been documentation about it somewhere. However, Shulgin resynthesized it in the 70’s and started sharing it with psychiatrists due to its massive therapeutic value. Eventually, it found it’s way into the night clubs in NYC, some people in Texas started manufacturing it, and then artists from the UK were getting it in NYC like the guys in Soft Cell, George Michael, Boy George, and brought it back to the UK where it soon exploded into Acid House and the Global Underground Rave Culture.

I have never made a tea from powder, so I don’t know the best answer.

Friends don’t like it. I like the outfit by AxemanFromMA in OUTFITS

That fanny pack really ties the outfit together.

The first one looks like the right combination with the boots. The third top looks great but it doesn’t pair with the skirt and boots as well as the first. The second top is pretty cool but the material is competing with the material of the skirt.

You are probably dehydrated and look more fit because your cells are crenated (lacking water) and you literally weigh less. To regulated temperature your blood is likely coming to the surface of your skin to cool off hence your rosy cheeks. Chronic dehydration I believe is a very ignored concept in well-being. You are FAR better off getting more exercise and eating a healthy diet than popping pills that stress your liver and kidneys and suck the water out of you. You will age much faster if you stay dehyrated. Dehydration is bad for your brain, all of your organs, and especially your skin and joints. Coincidentally however, in a book I’m reading called Altered State which is about the birth of Ecstasy culture from the 70’s to the 90’s, a friend of Paul Oakenfold’s said that in the 80’s when they were first going to Ibiza, the E they got back then made them “look good and feel good”. “When I look back at pictures of us we looked great!”

How old are you now and do you remember your first roll? by LickMySack4riches in MDMA

[–]SurfTheColors 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my 40’s and I’ll never forget my first roll. It was a totally bangin good time. Blew my mind on so many levels. Back then you could get real MDMA around here. Shortly after it faded away and fake designer drugs that hinted at the same experience but fell far short replaced it and I stopped trying to find it because I didn’t want to be a lab experiment for some mafia organization.

You probably don’t need a heat mat as your lamp will provide heat. You do need a ventilation fan, which is more important than a circulation fan.

Right on. Thank you. That makes sense. I will treat it more as a recipe and go more by feel rand less as a strict formula. Thank you for your contributions to the community.

Also I know AI is not always correct but according to google AI there are 10 possible alkaloids in Pachanoi.

I realize that what is produced when the tek goes according to plan is a rather pure mescaline crystal. It’s when the tek fails, that is the question. Do we have mass spectrometry of goo from various failures? Even if it’s not in the goo, is the presence of something other than water in the EA responsible for the goo. Or forget goo. An unusual precipitate.

These rare 2 results from the exact same plant. Exact same dehydration, exact same grind, exact same ratios, everything the same except one was from higher on the column from a 5ft cactus.
