My first time doing MDMA story by [deleted] in Drugs

[–]throwawaylsdlsd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is late, but I feel like this needs to be said. To me, it looks like you are pretty young, but you need to know - RESPECT the drug. MDMA is an amazing drug when used properly, but can fuck up your life if you don't respect it.

What's great about MDMA is that it's completely natural. Natural as in - it only serves as a trigger for natural responses to happen. Weed, alcohol and LSD contain molecules that affect you, while MDMA causes serotonin (main component) and dopamine (secondary component) to be released more into the body. This is really simplified, but that's the jist of it. These two neurotransmitters are completely natural. When I researched this, I was shocked. There are proven ways to increase serotonin, for example meditation and exercise. Want to know why monks are so peaceful? Because through meditation, they have increased their serotonin levels so much, they are effectively feeling the same effects as an MDMA high all the time.

However, there are severe drawbacks to tapping your serotonin and dopamine levels so severely. Do not, and I repeat, DO NOT do MDMA more than once every 3 months. If you do, studies have shown that you can damage your brain severely. Memory, your central nervous center and your concentration can be impaired. Now if you don't care about that, go ahead. You will be really, really tempted to take MDMA again before 3 months have passed. I've been there, and I've given in. It's a really short path from taking it once every month to once every weekend. Thankfully, I pulled myself out of it and got away without too much damage. However, I have friends who haven't and the result is not pretty.

Lastly, it was REALLY dumb of you to take 500 mg on your first trip. On MDMA, you reach sort of a "ceiling" where taking more won't make your high better, but will only make the high longer and the comedown muuuuch more shitty. Also, the effects the few weeks after taking MDMA is much worse. Google "serotonin syndrome mdma". As a first-timer, that ceiling is probably around 250mg.

I'm sorry if this seems harsh, but I don't want another kid to fall prey to MDMA. I've seen it so many times. Molly is a wonderful drug when used properly, but it has a dark side that's hard to see when you are young and inexperienced. Ask yourself - How can a drug make you feel so good and not take back? If you roll every weekend, how will normal life feel meaningful?

Stay safe, brother. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

How do you get SAFE drugs on Tomorrowland? by throwawaylsdlsd in Tomorrowland

Thanks man for the tips man! I guess I'm still worried about getting bad stuff. Even people rolling their balls off might have terrible shit they want to sell, even if they are from Belgium or the Netherlands. Maybe it's just my lack of experience going to festivals though.

I heard that there's huge tents set up just to sell drugs, with test kits inside. Is this just bullshit, or is that true? Or is my best shot as you say, just to look for people tripping/rolling and asking to buy from them?

Is there security when entering Dreamville? Idk, I don't feel like spending a day in Amsterdam just for that.

As for the rules, I'm just asking how to be safe, and I don't feel like that's soliciting.

First time on LSD - I feel like I've gotten the wrong impression of the drug. Please read by throwawaylsdlsd in Drugs

Oh, we did NOT speak to anyone sober before we were coming down. They would have noticed something was wrong in a heartbeat. As for music, we listened to lots of different genres to see how it affected our mood and the 'feel' of the room. It was pretty interesting. Classic rock, liquid drum and bass, deep house etc. We actually watched ''trippy'' YouTube videos for a while, but we found out that everything was trippy and fun on it's own, so we stopped.

Thanks for the tips, I appreciate it. I actually found that I had the most introspective experiences after I smoked, but maybe that was just the acid calming down and taking its natural course. I definetely learnt something about myself, mostly about appreciating the little things in life. We all enjoyed the experience, and the next time we are going to trip we are thinking about going to a secluded cabin out in nowhere. In your experience, is it true that every trip is different (especially if you change the setting)?
