How many in a night

From reading the board for quite some time, I'm actually intrigued to find out how many Es people take on average in one night?
For me, I started dropping about a year and a half ago. For a while I used to take 1.5 to 2 in a night. I almost always limit myself to 1 night of fun every month. About 3-4 months ago I went on a bender (for my standards anyway) and did 4 in about 4 hours <IMG SRC="eek.gif" border="0" ALT="icon"> . It was a wicked wicked night (I think!) but don't want to do that much again!
Also saturday night is my monthly night <IMG SRC="biggrin.gif" border="0" ALT="icon"> . Will only take 2 with me to avoid temptation (let's face it, it's the only way!) and was thinking of taking some spliffs along to enhance the evening. When is the best time to smoke - before the come up, when peaking or between pills? I always smoke when I'm coming down at home but never done it when I'm actually out...
Cheers

smoking whenever is good, but i find at peak you don't notice it as much and its wasted a touch (excuse the pun), i'd wait for the initial hour of pure high, then start smoking <IMG SRC="biggrin.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">
I tend to take 3 a night now <IMG SRC="smile.gif" border="0" ALT="icon"> one about 8, i love been high around the bars, you can chat and shit, 2nd going into the club and the third is whenever, sometimes after an hour in the club, sometimes as we leave the club, depends if a few of us are going back to somebody's place for a bit of a party <IMG SRC="wink.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">
First thing I remember is 'waking up' with some mates lying in the middle of Queens Park, bitterly cold, naming the stars and chain-smoking with a vengeance. How we got there, we have no idea.
Generally I stick to 1/2.
I never forget anything about the night before when i've been on pills <IMG SRC="confused.gif" border="0" ALT="icon"> unless of course alcohol is involved <IMG SRC="smile.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">
i do however tend to forget stuff with amazing ease in the early fucked hours <IMG SRC="biggrin.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">
My sisters borfriend and I have often done more than 30 between the two of us though that was a while ago now.
Now I pretty much restrict myself to at max 8 a night, and my tolerance has gone down and I'm quite happy to go out and just do one. I've even started going to events and doing a 'natural' - avoiding all drugs and alcohol.
I think everybody goes through that stage where they can't get enough. It's not abuse or an addiction it's just that once you wrecked you want the feeling to last forever. <IMG SRC="biggrin.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">

Thing is u really need only 1 pill for the desired effect, mebe 1 more. All it takes is 1-2 pills to use up all ur serotonin for that evening and the rest is just the ampethamine or "speedy" rush u get from the pill.
If u take 1 or 2 pills u usually stay fucked for about 3-6 hours and u usually feel pretty loved up.
If you take anymore there is barely any serotonin left in ur brain so all u get/feel is the speedy buzz of the pill. This is why u dont get more fucked with the more u take. This is also why after about 5 pills, when u take a pill the effects only last like 2 hours max instead of 3/4/5.
IMO taking any more than 5 in a night is pointless, even tho i do it on occasions <IMG SRC="rolleyes.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">
But if u take more at once then u will get more fucked
Now I think that 3 is my magic number. I find if I take more, I get completely fucked, and do enjoy it but if I stick to a max of 3 I can enjoy the music, dancing and generally the whole clubbing experience more.
In a recent edition of mixmag they said that attitudes have changed. It used to be considered cool to say 'yea, I took 8 I got completely bolloxed' it is now better to be seen saying 'I stuck to 2 or 3'.
Less can be more.
But i used to only nedd to take 1 a nite and it wud last me all nite and all morning.
To me i was the same as taking my first pill eveytime, not bad, as it made the nite a hell of alot cheaper than my mates.
I was only 15 when i was taking them so i suppose it was my age and i am quite a small girl so maybe that was a factor.
the saying "once you pop u just can't stop" i find that true, thats why i aint been goiong for ages to stop myself as my b/f doesnt agree wiv em. He tried it once but that was it.
I'll stick to 3 next time...
i try to keep myself to 4 tops nowadays, i find it's the best medium between a decent, prolonged rush, and mad paranoia ( which i seem to get too often nowadays <IMG SRC="frown.gif" border="0" ALT="icon"> )
for 5 months-ish a i was doing 7 - 12 in a session, and it has, in all honesty fucked me right up.
not enough to make me stop, but there you go....
The most I ever took *at once* was 7 and that (stupidly, not proud) was to prove a scottish newspaper that 007s weren't deadly over 4 amounts, I had a friend who tried to kill herself on a overdose that night too and ended up walking her home for 3 hours in bizzards, never again!
I used to take between about 4 and 7 a night, most ever in a night was 12 but that was at a 12 hour rave...
Thankfully I'm sensible now...
