I was just curious about why you need to drink water when rolling, is it just to replace sweat and cool down or do you still need to drink water anyway and why?
You lose the capacity to judge your need for water. It's also important to not drink too much. Not being able to tell you're thirsty combined with raving is what gets dangerous, as long as you drink a steady, baseline, healthy amount, you're set.
a little gatorade doesn't hurt either. mountains of ketamine used to get me REALLY dehydrated and gatorade helped a lot!
so if your not ravining you wouldnt have to drink at all? i know about drinking safely i'm just curious to the reasons you have to drink, is it dangerous to not drink much at all if your just chillin with mates?
literally this is kind of false. MDMA (from what ive heard) does not directly make u lose your ability to know when you are thirsty. often wat we are doing when we start rolling distracts us from our normal intake of fluids. also, majority of ecstasy users dance in hot, crowded night clubs. and when your dancing for hours in an environment like this your body needs fluids.
it's not very easy to OD on fluid on MDMA, but it can be done. You have to drink well beyond a normal ammount I have seen people just keep pouring water down because they think "I'm rolling, I have to drink. Me personaly I don't get thirsty at all but my body temp goes up so I always just make sure every hour or so I have had some water.
yeah dude a nice glass an hour is all yoo should need. do NOT drink alcohol as it will exacerbate dehydration and kill your roll. alcohol is an MDMA inhibitor. i digress. i wish you happy trails yo
Even if you are just hanging out with friends you should drink water on E, it dehydrates you. I would say yes it is dangerous not to drink at all even if your just chillin with your mates. That being said, I don't think you would die if you didn't drink at all. When you don't drink on E you start stumbling a bit and it's hard to realize when you need to drink water. As far as drinking to much water, i've drank a crapton of water before without ill effects. It's not like it's a narrow window of the amount of water you have to drink. I would say if you are just chillin with friends have a water bottle on hand and somewhere you can refill it. 1 refill should be good if you are just hanging out without dancing (but how can you not dance?)
Water intoxication can be a threat, so can dehydration. Drink a glass or two of water before you roll, have a glass or two while rolling, you'll be fine. You want your body to be properly hydrated going into the experience. Unless you're out dancing for hours in a hot club you really shouldn't have to worry about it. I mean, just do what you do. I think MDMA boosts your core body temperature so you would sweat a little more, but that in and of itself is hardly enough to cause serious hydration problems. And that's all speculation. It's been a few years since I've rolled, I can't really remember if I felt hot or cold on it *shrug* http://www.erowid.org/chemicals/mdma/mdma_health_water.shtml
^ At least with me and it's apparently common enough to be in a song, your body feels cold on it, like it has slight chills. I always feel very warm on the inside though.
Thanks for all the advice and concern but im really not worried about what i shoud and shouldnt drink, ive never had any probs or concerns with that (and ive been rolling since i was 16), i was just interested in if you only have to drink to stay rehydrated or if there is some other reasons and if the only reason it it dehydrates you is because you sweat. Again i have no worries, concern or paranoia, im just interested for some reason and cant find anything other than the usual out there
Correct. if you are not already dehydrated and aren't going to be sweating, then you could skip the water all together. Drink 1 bottle of you're doing nothing. Drink about 4 if you are gonna be sweating or drinking alcohol. It's really not that big of a deal. You don't need to over think it.
