MDMA: how is it for you?

[nexalizer]

Hello everyone,

This past weekend I had the chance to try, for the first time, MDMA powder. After postponing the experience for a week while waiting for the Marquis test (it turned to the expected color) and having had an amazing experience, I've got something to ask those of the nexus that also dabble with this particular substance.

MDMA isn't something I do very often; Previously, my 2 or 3 experiences have always been with pills. The first time in particular, I was struck by how electrified I became. The "all is well with the world" feeling was there, and I've never had something so striking from mdma since (apparently, this is to be expected - no problem).

But..

This time, on the powder (mixed with a minute quantity of carrot juice to help it go down) ?

There was no rush (previously, with the pills, it would go like: nothing happening.. SOMETHING happening (rush), then plateau while electrified)! Things were normal for a bit, then at some point I could tell something was changing, but it was so.. natural. A profound sense of inner peace and tranquility struck me. Each note played on the guitar sounded amazing, just right. Breathing became much calmer and deeper.

Then, gradually, just as quickly as it came, it vanished.. Without any nystagmus, or wide open eyes, and no speaking really really quick (all these have, to some degree, always been always present in my previous experiences).. there was some jaw tension, but nothing remotely close to what I'd experienced before.

The reason I'm writing this (and not on the experiences forum) is: Is this how pure/close to pure MDMA is supposed to feel? What I went through is so radically different from my previous MDMA/pill experience that I'm even questioning whether this powder was MDMA at all! (marquis tested it, and the result was positive, so it seems it's one of MDMA/MDE/MDA/MBDB)

To reiterate: The "all is well with the world" feeling was there, but without all the side effects, excluding minor jaw tension. And next day I was only slightly tired, not feeling like a truck went over me. Overall it was a much deeper, calmer experience.


Since the subjective effects were so radically different, altough the essential remained the same, I'm convinced that the pills I'd had before had something more than MDMA in it.


Either that or the effects are very dose dependant and something bigger would've caused the same side effects (I had 100mg this time; the other times, no idea, but presumably 120mg pills)

I don't think this is the "permanent tolerance" effect where MDMA gradually loses its magic, as the person who had some afterwards also reported no rush, same as me but even more profound (mdma virgin)..but definitely no rush, and no nystagmus, no racing thoughts and just a bit of jaw tension like me.


So, how does it come up for you? Is it very gradual and natural, or is there a sudden rush..

Feedback appreciated!

Pure MDMA powder for me, is simply incredible.

After about 30 minutes the smile starts to emerge, and I become more social by the second.
Then when I'm really into it, music is pure, raw energy. It strikes every chord in my body and has so much CLARITY that I can't help but dance my butt off. Every sense it enhanced a hundred fold, I can talk to anyone with ease.

Pretty much all the typical aspects of MDMA,

I have to say that I absolutely love it, and although it is not great for the brain (very debatable) I find it hard to stay away from such an amazing substance. It is one of the only other I indulge in besides my beloved entheogens.

I've had tested, legit, clear-as-glass MDMA crystals a few times.

each time was bomb and yes, very clean, with no "comedown" or negative effects.
that is how proper, good MDMA is supposed to feel

however that's not to say that if you were to abuse it and dose every weekend (even with pure) that negatives wouldnt crop up, everything in moderation!

I have to admit I feel a little guilty and dirty for saying this but I've always had a much better time on pills than pure MDMA. I am a really laid back and shy person and when I get that rush it feels great to break out of my shell without a care in the world. There are some nasty side effects but the feeling is better for me.

With MDMA I feel lazy and withdrawn and all I want to do is lay in a puddle of warm fuzziness. I don't open up to others and it actually kind of irks me even to talk. I won't disagree that it feels very natural and clean, it just doesn't give me the desired effect.

I know this sounds terrible considering the things they put in pills, but for me I would rather break out of my normal introverted ways and do some real relationship work with others by spewing out my feelings and having productive conversations. Strangely and sadly I just don't feel that openness with MDMA.

I should add that I am not recommending ingesting ecstacy and I don't use it anymore because it is full of all kinds of nasty things. I've had my time with it and now respect my body enough not to take whack chemicals.

I use it as an entry point during nights of exploration with friends, and it's particularly useful in triggering great conversations with my girlfriend and releasing any potential tension. A luxury we haven't had for a year, but we're doing fine

The thing about MDMA...

The first time it was way up there with the best, then it's progressively less everytime. Then one day it may be a little better, but never as good as the first.

Read a good book instead... one you haven't read before

Also shamefully I agree with archaic_architect about the pills thing. Though it's been years since I last touched a pill.

I love MDMA. Shulgin called it his low calorie cocktail.
Come up feels smooth to me. Never lost it's magic, either. Therapeutic and perfect every time I have used it. I hold this particular drug in high reverence, and will continue to use it accordingly.
You can take some transdermal magnesium earlier on in the day to help counter the jaw tension, also try conscious relaxation and meditative techniques.

I've only taken it a few times but i really enjoyed it

once i smoked some cannabis and meditated for a long time on it, which led to out of body experiences. Then i added in some dmt :shock: ..it was very amazing. (disclaimer: mixing mdma with dmt seems safe but NEVER mix it with changa, since it shouldn't be mixed with MAOI)

MDMA was simply fantastic. It produced the sort of euphoria that I've never experienced before, and honestly that's what would turn me off from regular use. Of course it's not easy to come by for me, so I would be opportunistic and purchase some whenever it was available. I suppose that MDMA would have been my first true psychedelic experience, and there's a bit of a story attached to it.

I was going with some friends to a Deadmau5 concert, and really more than anything else we just wanted to take MDMA. Entering the venue we were still empty-handed, and I decided I would show my new fake ID to the friendly-looking bouncer. Well, alcohol--even just the pursuit of alcohol--truly ruins everything, and I was surrounded, my ID confiscated, my description taken, and told that I would deal with security if I approached the entrance again. So we sold are tickets, picked up some MDMA from a kid whispering "Molly," and drove home. I took it orally and maybe an hour later sitting in a chair everything became amazing. I remember rubbing soft surfaces, being mesmerized by some laser lights, and just feeling a rush of positive energy. We played some Deadmau5 and just hung out, so probably ended up better than being at the concert. But sometime after the peak I started drinking so the entire trip becomes slightly fuzzy after 2-3 hours. We went back to the venue for the third-showing (it was a hike) just to get MDMA again.

Seriously? Petty?

Up your dosage, or maybe it really just doesn't work with you.

The man mows his lawn on 200mg methoxetamine.
Really, you can expect that kind of answer

 

[joedirt]

I'm honestly not a huge fan of MDMA myself.

I've had some descent experiences with it, but I'm not really a stimulant person.

I'd rather take 200-300mgs cappi extract than MDMA. It's a more natural feeling euphoria to me. Not as intense, but also no jaw clenching and other BS.

Oh, those cropcircles are his?

well, it wasn't really a crop circle.. more like a portrait of David Byrne.

for me I love the stuff. had nothing but awesome times on it. at raves dancing my ass off. girl's all sexy friendly. the music sounds awesome, people become awesome and the feeling of skin is the best!! I love the downer feeling of H. and pure energy to dance. just close my eyes and move to every sound in the music, then open my eyes and become the music! every beat I know were it goes (trance / techno / psytrance) and place my dance rhythms perfect for the rising beats... boom... boom.. boom boom boom budda budda budabudabudaaaaaaaaa.... the dance floor just rockets and everyone explodes in cheer!!!! the music goes on, the driving force and everyone in sync.
oh man I miss that!!! haven't tripped on MDMA for about 5 years now... Done it 20 - 30 times. not sure. Might take acid on the comedown and keep it going, or take more MDMA that night (turns to day).

my first proper mdma experience was probably the best high ive ever had. I had taken 4 temazepam (i didnt like alcohol and temazis were freely available back then) before a driend offered me white capsule mdma called hurricanes. I took one and headed home to chill out and listen to music, i wasnt expecting much because the 2 previous mdma experiences were crap.

I got home and told parents i was in for the night and was going to listen to music. I swallowed the pill before going to lie on my bed with tunes on. I must have fell asleep because of the temazepam because i awoke about half an hour later right in an extreme come up on what must have been pure mdma. I didnt know who or what i was, i didnt have an inkling to what anything at all was for at least 10 minutes. My body felt like it was on fire in a good way :$ and i tried to walk and i was just banging into things and my vision was totally obscured by, well i cant even describe what i was seeing as i didnt understand what anything was. I was in a state of panic when i remembered that i had took mdma. As the realization set in i began to feel pure amazing! the best euphoria i have ever felt rushed deeply through every part of my body. My hair was freezing cold with electric vibes shooting from it it felt like.

Everything had slotted into place, i had epiphany after epiphany for about an hour while euphoric waves swept all over me. The intense peak lasted for about 2 hours before settling into a more manageable feeling of amazingness.

I was only 17 when this happened and i agree with soulfood, ive chased that feeling ever since with mdma but have never experienced anything like it since
