Experience Collection: Ecstasy

[emrandel]

Hi everybody, I just finished my first drug experience report and thought I'd share it with you guys. Figured it might be interesting to read. I'm not 100% sure if this is the right place to post this but I'm pretty sure. I mean... it says if I don't know where to post then this is the place. I bet all the coordinated "bold" and "italics" don't work when I copy and paste from Word. Everybody tell me what you all think. This is going to be a big "exploring" year for me and as obviously drugs are my passion and I love studying them. My plan is to gather a huge library of standardized and informative accounts of different drugs in detail and build a web-site with a collection of true drug information that I want everyone to know about and possibly a diverse drug culture community with a different purpose than that of Grass City. A cleaner and more up to date general over-view/summary of a drugs effect than erowid.org, face it, they're out-dated.

Experience Collection: Ecstasy

Dose: 1 pill (Green, Jet Plane) approx. 300 mg (Triple Stack)

Details: Oral @ 12:00 AM (2/3 of pill); Nasal @ 12:15 AM to 12:20 AM (1/3 of pill)

Reliability: Some doubt, Seems mostly legit. New Contact.(Follow-Up: Everything is Chill)

Duration: Peak: ~4 hrs Total: 6+ hrs

Onset Process: I began feeling the onset shortly after 12:30 AM and it continued to become stronger from then on. At 1:00 AM I'm feeling pretty good but it's not over whelming. My pupils are fully dilated at this point as well. At 1:00 AM I took a walk outside. At 1:05 AM I smoked a bowl of high-grade cannabis out of a dry glass piece. Then, at 1:10 AM I smoked a Camel Filter. Returned in safe room at 1:15 AM. Perma-smile, full-fledged body high and complete immersion in the drug has been achieved by 1:30 AM.

Summary: At the beginning it was merely a nice soft feeling all over. It continued to maintain this feeling as it continued to intensify during the original onset. I was also very energetic almost immediately. After a bowl and the cigarette the high reached what I qualify as a comfortably over-whelming intensity. I also felt very safe and my usual (through cannabis intensified) paranoia was suppressed. Another thing I noticed was my excitement to socialize and just in general maintain a flowing source of contact to someone. I feel very content with pretty much anything I do, even if I'm just sitting in front of the computer and looking at a picture or even just looking at something like a pencil. Although I have a higher appreciation for subjects of sexual nature I am not extraordinarily aroused or desperate for a sexual encounter such as is stereo-typed with MDMA (ecstasy) use. It's also easy to concentrate and engage in intellectual activities such as philosophical discussions, general research or even the recording this experience. My appetite is non-existent but I do have a unique cotton mouth which I don't find to be bothersome at all. Just noticed at 1:45 AM my ability to recall details very well and re-live a previous event in the day and my observations of his event. I'm having small jumps in my short term memory but it's not annoying and I usually find my place after a short moment of complete blankness. At 2:00 AM I'm starting to have deep, inspirational and creative conversations. I've had several ideas that I'm not excited to put into motion. All ideas are drug related but not foolish or completely unrealistic. They're also long-term and involve lots of hard work as opposed to a meaningless short-term giddy idea such as: “Let's start a colony on the MOON!” Emotions have been tuned and are easy to observe and understand but even emotions that lean negatively don't effect me negatively and are understood and processed. Continued excitement for things that are normally dull and enhanced senses (all five and the “feeling” of a sixth). At 2:30 AM philosophical discussions reached near-peak intensity as revelations towards the mind and how drugs effect it as well as creative stimulations such as music. I am also aware of a increasingly efficient access to my vocabulary and great ease in explaining feelings and thoughts. Body high is lacking over whelming intensity but remains at a comfortably controllable level. At 2:45 AM I engaged in a repeat of my earlier mini-adventure (Cannabis+Nicotine Quest). Returning safely at 3:00 AM to my safe house. The high has built up some speed by now and with the THC and Nicotine boost I was reverted to my earlier peak with even an increased intensity. Upon my return my body expressed discomfort towards my shoes and socks. Socks seemed horribly stupid and inefficient and they were quickly shed. This was accompanied by a change to more comfortable pants as the radiation of my high starting effecting me externally. Sexual aspects of the drug are now being felt but are not strong. At 3:15 AM I make an unpleasant trip to the bathroom to retrieve a pair of comfortable sweat pants and was originally unexcited as to the idea but easily convinced myself. During the trip I experienced a strange auditory hallucination which pumped me up with a moment of high-intensity paranoia. This resided quickly though and I find myself once again feeling content. Around 3:20 AM I notice the cannabis high to partially overwhelm the MDMA (ecstasy) high. A social void (no-one to talk to) results in a slight emptiness, I'm not overly talkative but I'm wishing for some kind of active connection to someone at the time. After an enjoyable xBox 360 session I'm glad to be back at the computer. NFS UG: Most Wanted was fun and comfortably intense but eventually I felt limited by the game. By 3:40 AM I was ready to take a break from racing and return to the world of information. My high is now plateaued and it's hard to judge the slight and frequent variations of intensity. Finally at 3:45 AM I felt the sexual aspects of the drug peak again continue to do so till 4:15 AM where I was reverted to my previously high state. Shortly afterwards at 4:20 AM I proceeded to smoke another bowl of cannabis and observed dusk make its progress. This time I did not smoke a cigarette because I felt the possibility that it's stimulant properties are over-powering the cannabis and jading it's effect on the MDMA (ecstasy). Now I realize that this was the perfect combination, previously, because now the depressant properties of the cannabis are over-taking the stimulant/creative effects of the MDMA (ecstasy). This does lead to a heavier, more over-whelming body high but as a trade-off it is much less sensitive and energetic, such as it might have been before hand. Still a very comfortable, relaxing way to wind down ones trip, I believe. By 5:20 AM the high has straightened out and I'll continue to ride it out and then sleep till about 12:00 PM. Wake 'N' Bake will be in session.

Conclusion: Well, MDMA (ecstasy) is an awesome drug. It finds a sweet spot on my top 10. I like how soft it is and how well it flows. Everything you do feels right and perfect, because it is. Maybe? Who knows. Who cares. Nothing can get me down on this drug. Coupled with THC and Nicotine it provides a powerful overwhelming side along with it's mellower, but still very intense other side. I recommend this drug to anyone who has had prior experience with THC and Nicotine and possibly alcohol. It shouldn't be done often but I can see how it's use can easily become habitual just because it's so great. The average responsible drug user can maintain control though and use it responsibly. To young or/and new drug users I recommend a frequency of no more than 1-2 times a month for this drug. This drug can be classified as an intellectual enhancer, a brain flow promoter... very similar to a effect that is found in Magical Mushroom and LSD endeavors. MDMA (ecstasy) is also a good drug to prepare an inexperienced user for a Magic Mushroom and/or LSD endeavor.

Details: The cannabis was of unknown strain, but it is made up of very potent, dense buds that are known to originate from California. Same strain was used throughout the report. Cannabis was smoked out of a glass “mini-bubbler” w/o water that is fairly resinated, with a bic lighter. Third time did not include a walk or a cigarette. The cigarette's used throughout the report are Camel Filters (Hard Pack) and are lightly packed. These are also lighted with a bic lighter and smoked about 4/5^th before being put out. Tolerance to both drugs is pretty high as the intake history stands at about a pack a day and 3-7 grams of high-grade cannabis a day. Glasses (as opposed to contacts) were worn throughout the report at -2.50 on the L and the R eye. Music played was a combination of: Stoner Rock, Reggae, Classic Rock and Hip-Hop through a hi-def sound card into 2.1 Klipsch THX certified speakers. Xbox 360 was played on a 32” Samsung HDTV LCD with 5.1 Yamaha Surround Sound.

Research: Many people are worried about propaganda which takes time to mention that using MDMA (ecstasy) can put holes in your brain. This has scared a lot of people off. Especially the posters hanging in all the schools that show brains with mystical “holes” in them. But what's the real down-low on these holes?

“One can take any normal brain SPECT and lower the threshold (lower areas of blood flow assigned a low or zero level of color) , and one will see "holes" on the 3-D image. Conversely, you can also take the same image and adjust (increase) the threshold to "remove the holes". These are not absolute blood flow measurements. The "holes" simply demonstrate relatively lower blood flow compared to the entire brain. One cannot make any statements about whether it's normal or abnormal unless absolute blood flow measurements are made, which requires more sophisticated scanning procedures than were conducted on Lynn Smith.”

And there you go ladies and gents, the holes mean nothing. But if you're still in doubt check out what they found in Dr. Chang's study:

“In Dr. Chang's study, 10 of the subjects were scanned again, after the administration of two doses of MDMA. Cerebral blood flow was reduced somewhat in some brain regions at two weeks after the last dose of MDMA. 2 subjects were scanned again after 10 weeks and were found to have elevated cerebral blood flow in some regions. Dr. Chang reported, "Our findings suggest that the initially decreased rCBF normalizes with time and may even increase above baseline at later time points."

This should pretty much clear all confusion up. Basically, research shows that MDMA (ecstasy) does change several things in the body but all drugs do and just like most it normalizes with time. There is no permanent damage from recreational use of MDMA (ecstasy) if the user is safe and smart.

Thank You All, Have a Nice Day.

I Hope You Enjoyed the Record of My MDMA (ecstasy) Experience.

Minor Update: I awoke of natural nature (heh) at exactly 2:00 PM (exactly 8 hours after going to sleep) and found myself to be comfortably hazed. I still have a bit of the perma-grin going and although not excited, I am content. I'll be going to a concert with 55 bands now, not too excited about it. But I wasn't excited about it yesterday either. I feel a slight temporary stupidness but I'm sure it's part of the hang over because it's been getting better since I woke up.

No actual discomfort in my eyes. (like, not my eyes... but from my point of view, looked funny when I read over it)

Extra Details: A pill usually goes for $25 to $35 here... I was able to snag a couple for $15 a piece. Somewhat lucky. Need more herb though. In fact, I have a slight craving for herb right now. I'm also softly craving a cigarette but I don't actually want to go through the process of inhaling tobacco smoke for some reason. I think that's a personal part of my experience and is uncommon to most.

Further Update: I'm now starting to feel the depressive properties of the down come. It doesn't suck that bad except for that I have no herb and I just realized I've been spending all my money really irresponsible and it just kind of brought me down to think about everything that's just been wasted. I'm not quite sure how to cheer myself up.

Hey guys I just wanted to bump this thread, not out of arrogance or the like but rather because I'd seen a lot of questions regarding MDMA (ecstasy) on this forum, especially in the last month and I just want to make sure everyone get's a chance to check it out and hopefully help clear up some things about the drug.

heeeey damn good read!! I love doing X and i love hearing about peoples experiences and this one is a pretty damn informative one!
I find i cant handle the come downs without weed, i get very moody and very edgy and become unsure about what to do with myself... its not the nicest feeling and usually i cant sleep for at least 12-18 hours after doing X it just seems too impossible!
good read! +rep

25-35!?!?

I dont do mdma , Ive done it about 5 times but I hate it kinda, but my friends used to share them out like crazy cause they are 5-10 bucks a pill so nobody cares really, I never knew the price was so increased in America. 5x as expensive.

Thats what dealers should bring in from Canada.

But also may I mention, dont do mdma and smoke weed, the weed high can take over your ecstacy high. Kinda like when you smoke then drink and its mostly the weed high but just a little bit the booze feeling.

That's a good attitude, I like it. I only get serious jaw lock and the like w/ acid use. It's not a good feeling but it's a familiar feeling to me now just because I've done so much acid. I guess it's kind of the same way that a kidnapped child builds a relationship to their captor over time. I can't remember what the syndrome is called but, ah well, that was kind of a shitty analogy. But you know what I'm talking about.

Or when somebody falls in love with their rapist.
