Ever tried ecstasy?
 

I was watching history channel and they said its not really an addicitive drug. Its like weed, but better. Who has tried ecstasy? :winkwink:

I prefer crack...

It's great.

I don't quite remember if I have or not. :winkwink:

damn thats my line!

i've never done any drug. drugs are bad for you.

ROFL

Getting high on Ecstasy can lead you to do things that you normally wouldn?t such as risky unprotected sex or taking other unwise chances. People will build a tolerance to ecstasy and soon you will be doing more than one pill just to get the same effect as before. Ecstasy is psychologically addicting.

You have tried it huh? :1orglaugh

Seriously, how is it?

Its a great time the first few times you take it but after dozens of times, its not very magical anymore and signs of mental problems surface such as depression, anxiety, loss of memory and insomnia... sound like fun?

Plus you get addicted to swinging glowsticks around and dancing like you have molten lava in your underwear. :2 cents:

Bah...they've got drugs for that too :winkwink:

I have done it a few times some years ago, but for me it didn't work that differently from speed.. and imo speed was boring..

if you have to try it then make sure that you have a lot of non alcoholic fluids and some very good friends around.. as with any other drug things can go really bad when they go bad..

all in all I prefer getting drunk..

:1orglaugh :thumbsup

x has fucked up a couple of my buddies real bad... I would not recommend it... it fries your brain in a way you can't imagine... If you get hooked on the trips and try it 50 times or so you will most likely never live a normal life without
anti-depressive drugs.

It's quite simple. The body only contain a certain amount of endorfine
(it makes you happy when these are released in your brain)
X releases such a great amount of endorfine that you feel and extreme happyness and satishfaction. the mind is actually being told you just did something good for yourself and here is your "reward".

This destroys your old definition of happyness because you now know of a whole new level of happyness.
you just stop feeling good in your everyday life and in way to many cases this leads to depressions.


My advice to you is stick to normal drugs that don't fuck your brain up like this. You can't imagine how meaningless life becomes for these people.

Try coke instead, it can be real good to and you don't get addicted right away.

It's pointless in trying to explaining how great an e is... Just get some and try it yourself...

I would also not reccomend it unless a lesbian orgy beckons you to do it with them.

go to the GYM man get high the natural way

Did anyone catch the NBC Dateline report on E? Quite interesting on the effects of it and particularly trying to show that its harmful. Quite a few studies go both ways saying its not harmful and some saying it is. Nevertheless, I'm surprised the DEA has made E a class A drug, it certainly doesn't seem to have the effects like the other class A's.

Try coke instead? Are you stupid? Regarding getting addictions cocaine has to be one of the worst drugs to overcome...

Ecstasy isn't physically addictive although if you do like it you might wanna do it again... Think of it like chocolate... Just have self control...

Also you mean serotonin not endorphins...

You mean seratonin not "endorfine" and coke is a short high and the comedowns can be horrible.

I love E. Now I simply cant go to a club without a pill. If I do its simply to boring :P

You must be young

seratonin? I was do sure it was endorphins....

but then again it's a long time I learned this lesson...

the coke is just in my own oppinion... I do not find it very addictive at all. if you have somewhat pure coke you do not feel down the day after and you don't have hard hangovers. you don't start showing fysical addiction before you have done it quite some times thats for sure. I snapped out of it long before I got in trouple with it.... but if you get sucked in it's a long fucking way out again... coke can ruin your life for sure... bad sentence before I do not recommend it. I take my words back.

I think ecstacy should be allowed to be used in therapy sessions...

however, i'll never do e again based on the fact that you turn into a sensitive girly man while high :1orglaugh

I heard it was endorphins too, on the show i was watching.

It releases the endorphins all at once giving you a great high.

thanks for backing up my facts :thumbsup

and no doubt the high is great but not sure it's worth it.

HAHA yup. I saw two grown men crying on each others shoulders for no reason.

I don't know why people do drugs. What a waste.

Perhaps you should concentate on making your life not suck to the point at which you need drugs to have fun.

Serotonin is believed to play an important part of the biochemistry of depression, migraine, bipolar disorder and anxiety. It is also believed to be influential on sexuality and appetite.

The name "serotonin" is something of a misnomer and reflects the circumstances of the compound's discovery. It was initially identified as a vasoconstrictor substance in blood serum - hence serotonin, a serum agent affecting vascular tone. This agent was later chemically identified as 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), and, as the broad range of physiological roles were elucidated, 5-HT became the preferred name in the pharmacological field.

The pharmacology of 5-HT is extremely complex, with its actions being mediated by a large and diverse range of 5-HT receptors.

As with all neurotransmitters, the actual effects of 5-HT on the human mood and state of mind, and its role in consciousness, are very difficult to ascertain.

One way of understanding it is through the use of MDMA, which is thought to cause a mass release of 5-HT, possibly by drawing it back through the transporter.

The effects of MDMA are in large part due to the 5-HT which floods synapses during an MDMA "roll," an experience which typically includes feelings of well-being, comfort, tactile sensitivity, and, at high doses, feelings of emotional empathy or entactogenesis. (MDMA also releases norepinephrine, and to a much lesser extent, dopamine. MDEA, a closely related drug, appears to be purely a serotonin releasing agent, and lacks the strong stimulant effect of MDMA.)

5-HT receptors are also used by other psychoactive drugs, including LSD, DMT, and Psilocybin, the active ingredient in psychedelic mushrooms.

enough alcohol gives all the effects drugs got too.

thanks for info dunefield.

What is Ecstasy?
Ecstasy is the name for MDMA (3-4 methylenedioxymethamphetamine). MDMA (and its close relation MDA) are classified as enactogens, drugs that have stimulant, hallucinogenic and mood-improving qualities. It was originally developed as a diet aid. Before it was made illegal in 1985, it was used experimentally by mental health professionals in controlled settings to help people in couple's counseling. It began to be used illicitly in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Though Ecstasy use remains rare, its use among teenagers almost doubled between 1998 and 2001 and it is the only drug which has shown a marked increase in consumption in the college population with a 69% increase between 1997 and 1999.

Why do people take Ecstasy?
Ecstasy produces a euphoric high that lasts from 3 to 4 hours by generating a rush of serotonin and a smaller amount of dopamine, the brain messenger molecules that help to regulate mood. Serotonin is the brain chemical that many antidepressants regulate. Users describe Ecstasy as making them empathic, producing a temporary state of openness. Depending on its contents, Ecstasy can also cause mild hallucinogenic effects. Users report that the rush of serotonin is pleasurable and produces both an emotionally relaxed and physically exhilarated state. However, this extremely fast deployment of serotonin can deplete normal serotonin levels and produce depression or malaise after the drug wears off.

Are there short-term dangers of taking Ecstasy?
Pills sold as Ecstasy may not be Ecstasy at all. MDMA purchased on the street is frequently laced with other drugs like cocaine, heroine, PCP, or toxic chemicals like PMA and DXM, atropine, and rat poison. In a 1996 study of Ecstasy content, 19 out of 33 pills (58%) were found to contain less than 25% MDMA. Only 5 pills (15%) were more than 75% MDMA.

Are there long-term consequences to taking Ecstasy?
Although further studies are needed, more and more research suggests that Ecstasy causes serotonin levels to drop below normal, which impairs the brain's ability to learn, retain information and regulate mood. It appears that Ecstasy causes serotonin receptors, which allow the serotonin to fire in the brain, to shrink from overuse. Some evidence shows that restoration of serotonin receptors is possible with continued abstinence from the drug, but that people who have never taken Ecstasy have more functioning serotonin receptors than those who have.

Other studies suggest that regular or heavy Ecstasy use has long-term negative effects on memory and brain function which go well beyond the last pill taken (and seem to continue to increase in spite of long-term abstinence from the drug). One study found that women are particularly vulnerable to damage to the serotonin system by MDMA.

weak dumb minds + lots of drugs = problems
strong intelligent minds + recreational drug use = good shit

know the threshold. respect your limits. don't get sucked in.

recreational use of drugs is no match for a strong, intelligent mind. it actually opens that mind and gives the 3rd eye view on the world.

Read my ambush interview http://www.gofuckyourself.com/showth...=557571&page=1

I explain how I almost died from it:(

Duke

doesnt sound good idea, from what i have read it alters your behavior in a high degree and this is not something i would like to experience in public at least.

Love it, but don't do it very often or I'd want to do it every day.

I've never done ecstasy. :2 cents:

Your nick says it all.

x is some crazy shit. I've done it a few times. The high was like woah but not worth it after going through the waves of comedowns (peaks). If you're gonna do it i'de advise a club or concert is NOT the place to be doing it. Do it with plenty of friends at a house party or something. Make sure you have access to and drink lots of water. oh and also make sure there's women around to fondle (all consentual of course) :)

seratonin is the chemical that releases the endorphins in your brain. Endorphins are dorment with the release of seratonin. E, floods the brain with seratonin.

When I was younger I did E and other chemical based drugs. Now I just stick to weed:)

the main prob with e is there is so much "dirty" e out thee.

uneducated rec users can find the wrong stuff real easy.

beware in 2006 for e

90% of it isn't e

beware.

Peter Jennings did a special a few years ago pretty much in support of the drug. Very little negative stuff was said about it. The show seemed to be about implying that it wasn't bad. Very surprising to see a big name news reporter behind such a show.

There is a lot of misinformation in this thread.

like what?

I'm currently an avid E-Popper. I tend to pop every Friday & Saturday (Club Nights) and sometimse during the week. I was off X Last Night... X brings all you ever wanted to do to the fronline. You're friendly and emotional. I've been popping them ever since early 2005 and I'm fine in the mental piece. No side effects and no blah blah. All systems go from my end... :pimp

Never tried it, but they say that this drug is very dangerous and could cause heart attack. :(

We were crying because it was just all so fucking beautiful, man.

not me. i'm drug free! :)

intresting thought indeed
