Had my first e on fri night, a friend gave me a half which didn't seem to be doing any thing, so then I had the other half, which didn't do anything. I then had another 2 (which fair enough was a bit stupid) and then they all kicked in at once...pupils the size of dinnerplates, and I could hardly stand up, chewing all the time...
I'm still feeling a bit...spaced out like i'm not all there, I was walking around town today like a zombie.
Does this wear off or have I done any permanent damage?
Thnx for reading

just one thing; my biggest regret about doing pills was that i did too many and didint pace myself.
if i did them again i'd drop one pill a sesh, regardless of strength.
all pill heads say that, but you know how it goes yourself, one becomes 2 then 3 and so on.
the benefit of hinesight is one of those things that is useful to everyone but the person from which it originates.
oh and aprehensiveness or anxiety when coming up is very common, used to get proper afraid before the buzz came on.
surprisingly i wasn't afraid, i just necked it, just saw it as another drug for some weird reason, thats all it is really, another drug with a load of bad hype around, yea it wrecks your head after a while but what doesn't
well that is true, but what i meant was that one of the medical effects of coming up is that it can cause/exacerbate anxiety in some people, similar (in effect) to when some people smoke weed.

Like the others said it's probably best to tak it easy on your first time (s), you don't know how the drug reacts to your body etc... read up, and know how to reduce the harm you do here: TheSite factsheet
half at a time ....

Know your body, know your source and know your drug.
Plus of course there is the issue of what does a half really mean? Pill contents can be anything really.
i am currently taking Pharmacology as an extra module in my degree. I've only been on the course two weeks but alrady the intricacy and fragility of the brain REALLY scares me when i think about all the things i subjected it to
one thing that has become clear really is that, we can never be sure of the content and strength of pills for sure, but also of the chemical state of our own brain.
The pill itself is only ever 50% of the equation, the other is your own brain chemistry and mental state. Necking loads 'just coz dave was alright with it' is the surest way to do yourself harm.
I heard the arguement the other day that taking pills is similar to skydiving or snowboarding other dangerous sports.
That is one fairly valid view in terms of lethal consequences but as is all to common the whatever-doesnt-kill-you-makes-you-stronger attitude isnt entirely helpful. The difference is that if you are talking about non-fatal injury, mental damage can be far more harsh than physical, and in many more cases far harder to treat or improve. That and the fact that still in this day and age, mental health is hugely stigmatised; you may not find yourself in recipt of so much sympathy and compassion as someone with say, a broken leg.
This post was edited because: Bongbudda's eternal shining wisdom has once again pierced thorugh the darkness in order to show us the way, the truth and the light.....
However, as you so rightly point out thats really only one segment of the picture.
Thats a tiny bit drastic isnt it. Thank you anyway though.
Please! Lets not go over board. I'm above you certainly, but I'm not that far above you.
I'm not even worthy to lick the soles of your feet....
You have to pay to do things like that in Soho.
Last year I popped them like sweeties all the time, when I started dropping, I was taking one, my mates were taking 10-15!
Soon enough I was popping the same amount, friday + saturday night, along with anything else we had, speed, shrooms, whatever.
Anyways all I'm trying to say is if I could go back and change it I would, there is a fine line between drug use and drug abuse!
Use them responsibly and properly now and you'll be glad you did in the years to come...:)
Take it easy

oh and the purpose of my edit comment was 1) to complement bong and 2) to take the piss (but you already knew that )
