Hey guys... Ok, this must be the stupidest question I have ever asked... but I would rather ask now than be sorry later.... I'll be going to Shambhala (unforutnatly just myself), as I am heading out that way for work... Anyhow, I was thinking of trying E my first time at this festival... My dumb question is... How much control (and awareness of who you are) do you have on E? Im thinking of taking 1 or even 1/2 dose my first try... but I'm worried about staying me... In other words, I won't become retarded, fall in love with some hippie chick, and run off stupidly till it wears off will.... Sorry guys... Just that I'm married,,,, and want to make sure I say real on this thing... If you know what I mean.... (sorry guys, love my wife more than trying a new experience, and just had to ask)... Peace Soc
my first time i took 2 doses and they also happened to be the best rolls ive had to date but if your going on a business trip i wouldn't recommend taking allot. yes its controllable but for the next few weeks you will have troubles sleeping and be slightly more pissy. and remember drink allot of water before your roll and during...especially during its easy to get dehydrated just a week ago i almost had to go to the hospital cus me and my bud stayed up 12 hours around a camp fire. if you suddenly get cold sweats or numbing sensations in fingers, toes, etc. drink some water sit down and inform someone to stay close to you. i know this sounds like e isnt worth it, but in my opinion its the best high to chill, just dont be a dumbass about it...........like me
I have never had any lasting effects, except after one really hard roll I was depressed for about three days, but that went away on its own, I just had to let it run its course. Some people claim they feel a bit slower, mentally, for a few days afterwards, *knock on wood* I have yet to encounter this. While on ex you will love everyone, you will be come extremely empathetic and be able to connect to anyone and everyone. It's beautiful. I have been in love twice, and my second love I met on ex. It took me a few months to realize we had nothing in common, it was simply the drug enduced state that brought us together. You should be fine, just keep your wife in your thoughts. Hell, if you can give her a call ( I dont know how realitic that is as a possibility). But just keep her in your head, and remember you love her. It shouldn't be a problem. You will be able to control yourself and I tend to think I have more awareness than normal when rolling. But it's an upper, so be ready. You might be going 100 miles/minute (walkint talking whatever), but you will be in enough control to handle yourself at a festival. I think I already explained the water situation to you. It is very easy to dehydrate like the poster above said, but it is possible (less possible) to over hydrate. You will need to have a constant water supply. What I always do is when I get thirsty, which is VERY frequently, is take small sips of water and swish it around my mouth. When I say frequently it could be every couple of minutes. If you're dancing, which most likely you will because your body will want to move, you're gonna sweat more, so drinking water is great! ... I don't know what the weather is like, but go back to the posts from Rothbury. I think I did a good job there! It's totally worth it!! And just keep your wife on your mind, hell you might love her more after the roll if you think about her the whole time, but then again ive never tried to do something like that. I didnt' have the probpems jondeere had except the one i mentioned...you got some time...keep in touch!
Hey good vibes & Jondeer! I had such a hard time putting it into words what I meant... sorry if my msg didn't make too much sence... basically I was saying: "Does e make you do things you may regreat later... (i.e. some people have been known to do really messed up things on Alcholol... I never had that problem, but this is a new substance... and I heard stories over the years about people dropping E and waking up the next day with someone they would have never been with under normal cercomstances... And since I'm there alone (no one to say.. dude, he is on e - leave him alone for now.. ya know what I mean... would i be vulnerable that way.. should I have brought a babysitter... that was my question... but no worries... I think I have a plan. Thank you for the info... Did quite a lot of thinking about this.. Now here is the big problem... I will need to leave the festival early, do quite a bit of driving, and will be working the next couple months at my new job out there... (hey, I am there because of work), so I need to stay incredibly sharp... But... as Jon said... I may be very tired, groggy, etc afterwords.. and that would not work because of work (need to be very sharp)... however... here is plan B. Mushies during the festival (they are a next day feel great food). However, since I'm at the festival, its in Canada (no border crossing), I can stock up... and once were done working out west.... I plan on taking a week or two... chill up in the mountains for a while... do a lot of hiking... connect with nature in the mountains (hope I don't get eaten by a bear), and just chill for hours up there.... maybe even my wife would be able to join me at that point.... Does that sounds like a good First time E opportunity? Anyhow, its all coming together... I'll let ya know how things pan out... Thanks everyone for the great advice... and yes... definatly know about the water... Take care Soc
i think x is more apropriate for a festival than the mountains, and shrooms more fitting in the mountains than at a festival. but either way, i'm sure your first x experience will be great. i'd recomend you take at least a whole pill your first time, and have another on hand because you may want to stretch out the incredible experience that a first x trip tends to be. my first roll was at a festival 9 years ago. it was the last night of the festival and i drove all the way home 16 hours nonstop the next day after having slept only a couple hours at best. didnt have any trouble focusing driving, felt really good infact. idk, maybe i just got lucky...
The thing about MDMA in public places is. It doesn't matter who your around, they feel like your best friend ever. No matter what. This is great at times, even great for the people you manage to find yourself hanging out around. But more often than not have I found myself attempting to mingle with a group only to, 5, 10, 15, 20 minutes later discover. What I thought was a wonderfully amazing bonding experience with a group of strangers, was actually a sort of "alright when is this crazy person on drugs gonna go away, don't excite him too much, just remain calm and he'll go away" ... That can be particularly bad at times, cause atleast for me, I automatically stand REALLY close to people on mdma. Like touching almost. I don't even realize I do it. I've honestly spilled out more deep secrets about my life story to random people on MDMA than I have to my friends... it's not that you lose control. It's just that EVERYONE feels like your best friend. Your probably going to horribly embarrass yourself the first time. But I mean... everyone does. Just make sure you have the time of your life while doing it.
Don't listen to rygoody, you won't embarrass yourself. I've been drunk, high, and on pure mdma all at the same time and I was fine. I felt more in control then when I was on mushrooms. I think E is worse for your body than mushrooms but I'd definately do E over mushies any day.
im curious as to how Shambhala was as well...i bet it was fire. Always is. I saw some clips of VibeSquad dropping bombs all over the place (like always), and im sure there were some other really cool sets. The festival itself looked gorgeous. Wish i could have went...
