Make sure the rest of your mates know what you are doing in case something happens to you and hospital staff need to know what you've taken.
Drink plenty of water but dont drink too much. Drink more if your are dancing a lot. Dont drink alchohol.
whilst you're on E don't bother with coke because it will cancel it out. and don't drink alcohol either.
listen to your body and have fun!!
I have had years on and off of pills and if I ever do dabble now, I always start with half.. granted I usually neck a few more afterwards but you never know how you might react!
Good luck & Enjoy.......
What happens if you drink too much water ?
Also what about the comedown ? ~ how long it last and what are the major negatives of it (other than loosin the high lol)
Comedowns, uhm, tbh the only comedowns I can cope with is when I dont sleep/sleep little.. then I spend the ENTIRE next day smoking weed.....followed by a good 12 hours + in bed.. sleeping!
Otherwise I'm.. shall we say, emotional?
lol
And is it strictly 0 alcohol?
Back in my heyday it was extremely rare that we didn't have a drink as well as a few gurners though - usually a fucking skinful to be honest - and I never really found it hugely different or that the booze caused problems. It's just supposed to be a better high. It's all trial and error anyway really, different people like to do different things and different pills will have different effects. I've never been one myself for knocking up a line or ten when I'm buzzing off my tits - or even coming down - but I know a lot of people who do mix the two and they obviously get something out of it or they wouldn't bother. They're not daft. But in the aftermath I'd sooner skin up, to be honest. Do what feels right, I guess, a little of what you fancy does you good etc
Basically just don't overdo it - dropping halves is definitely the way to ease yourself in - and as lipsy said listen to your body, it can tell you more about what you should be doing than we'll ever be able to! Take it easy :thumb:
Spot on. :thumb:
Oh, I always recommend a "cooling spray" which I got from Boots, it's like a fiver or summat but genius if you canny be arsed going to a fan of sorts. It's like a moisture spray. It's the most sexual thing in the world when off your tits on pills and you dance dance dance dance dance dance like a fiend.
In terms of comedowns... to be honest I doubt you'll notice it much the first few times if you don't neck a load of pills. A lot of people just find it worse when they're still up on the pills but don't have any music to dance to! The next day or day after, just try and stay occupied and around people if possible.
You're doing a good thing by checking here first! :thumb:
on a usual night i will have alcohol up until i take my first pill at about 11. the reason i don't continue to drink is because i'm thirsty and i just don't think alcohol quenches that. its also alot better for your body if you just sip on water.and i just don't like to get too fucked. a few drinks and i'm drunk so carrying on would be pointless for me because i would just be mashed and wouldn't be able to enjoy the pills.
just take things easy and listen to your body. if people get into trouble with E its usually because they've overheated or they've drank too much water. so just bear these in mind and you should be fine
comedowns: i only started taking pills a the beginning of last year. first i just took them every few weeks but from september time i've been doing them pretty much every weekend. i don't think i've really suffered from comedowns. the next day i don't have any appetite like you get with coke. and i just catch up on my sleep. then by about monday i probably feel a bit emotional or soemthing but i'm used to feeling like that with pmt anyway so it doesn't really bother me. i know someone who has been doing them for years though and he gets really depressed for a few days - sometimes almost crying if he takes alot. what comes up must come down!
You can but you shouldn't. Whatever way you look at it alcohol and ecstasy are not good to mix, and you put extra strain on your body and organs if you do. Poly drug use of any kind seriously bumps up the risks.
Many people say that coke cancels out the effect of ecstasy, but there are plenty of people such as myself who don't share that experience. That isn't the only thing you shoudl be worrying about though, with them both being stimulants you'll be putting extra strain on your heart. Wait until you've found how sensitive you are to the drug before contemplating mixing other drugs.
Don't make a point of drinking any more water than usual unless your dancing. If your dancing sip water and take regualr breaks to cool off. As other people have said taking them in halves is a good idea, and wait to fully come up on your first half before taking any more, it should take no more than an hour depending on how much you've eaten.
Just take it steady, and have fun.
And because they've mixed the drug with other drugs.
But hey I guess it is the most sensible and responsible thing to do on your first time although personally I'd just take one whole pill.
If they are one of the unfortunate people who cant motabolise MDMA that whole tablet is going to cause even nastier problems than a small dose.
On your first time definitely do only a half, dont try and regulate your water intake to one pint an hour thats rubbish, just sip when you feel thirsty. And definitely do not drink alcohol, you only get the pure MDMA experience a very limited number of times to fog your head with alcohol is a drastic waste.
Yeah it took me about 2 hours to come up on my first time too, only did the one pill though.
it could all be chinese whispers but personally i dont like to take the risk. i sip about a pint over the hour.
with alcohol i thought that the risk was that E is a stimulant and alcohol is a depressive. doesnt alcohol slow down your bodys reactions to things and dehydrates you so it greatly increases chances of SOMETHING going wrong on E.
with coke, i just felt more fucked on pills rather than the 'coke' feeling when i mixed them.
How about not taking it in the first place? Best safety tip anyone could give you.
See I used to think like you and that was so easy an assumption to make and all, but you DON'T know until you try it.
See if you take it in the right environment it's fucking phenonemal.
Honestly. Take all your best night outs and roll them into a night on ecstasy. True you may feel like crap the day after or so, but JESUS. The night. The music, the people, the shit you chat, the want to dancedancedancedance and never ever stop. It's just....fuck man you can't describe it until you have a bash of it.
Not that I condone it or owt, but I'm glad I tried it and still involve it in my some of my big nights out. It makes your night fucking boss.
However, saying that, pills generally aren't like they used to be. Five to ten years ago, the quality of MDMA in them was far better ... and half would definitely sufficed for a first time.
:yes: That's why they call it Ecstasy
See, I've been taking pills that long and havn't noticed any significant difference. You used to find more ketamine in pills than you do now, and I came across more bunk pills than I do now.
Also if you look at lab reports over the last ten years you won't find that sort of trend. If anything pills are more likely to contain MDA, MDMA or MDEA.
You usually find older users saying this, simply because once you've taken them so many times the novelty wears off and the experience loses some of it's gloss.
OH MY GOD
Best night of my life!
It was white with a mickey mouse picture on it. Its on pill reports (i checked em out - safety first ) No bad effects at all except aching legs after dancing so much.
Actually not dancing-flying. Fucking wonderful it was.
