E works like an antidepressant, tho obviously a lot more dangerous...

it blocks the reuptake of serotonin in your brain...so your brain cells are releasing the serotonin into the synapse (small space between brain cells), but it stays there...causing this happy relaxed feeling....some antidepressants prescribed by doctors work the same way...

all 5 senses will be increased like 110%...that's why if you've ever been to a rave or similar type party, you'll see ppl giving/getting lightshows, massages, stand against the speakers, etc....

if your gonna be a user of it, my suggestion would be to keep at least a month between drops...cuz once you drop, all your serotonin is gone and it takes a long time for your brain to build back those levels...granted chances are it will never be at the same level as before cuz some of your cells will be fried...word is your best roll will be your first time, which makes sense cuz your serotonin levels will be stored up at their highest...

do it too frequently and you'll need to take more for the same affect, bear in mind it will never be like your first time cuz your serotonin levels will never be the same...and your brain will be fried...hence the term E-tard....loss of memory, reading something the wrong way, etc...similar to what you see in long term ganja users...

what i've seen some ppl do is do a sort of "preloading" before dropping....sort of a preparation to help minimize the negative effects of E...they take 5-HTP, which they say is a precursor to serotonin, helps the brain to make more of it...they also take Vitamin C to help counteract some of the negative affects, i've also heard that vitamin C works as sort of a catalyst for E...enhancing its effects...

and finally..as many have already stated, always drink water....obviously don't drink alcohol, it'll just dehydrate you more and increase your risk of total dehydration....

How does dehydration and malignant hyperthermia sound? To put it simply, you cook yourself. It is a dangerous drug, just say no.

heres the deal with E...


you pop a pill... and in about 45 minutes the effects start to hit you. I may feel nausious at first, but it usually passes in about 15 min. Try not to throw up, because you'll cough up the bean and your roll won't last as long. Once you start rolling, your whole body goes numb. Its an awesome feeling. You don't feel your muscles getting tired... This is why you can chew gum for like 6 hours straight... . This also why you can dance for 6 hours straight. Massages feel enchanced, visuals feel enchanced. You suddendly feel the friendliest person in the world and can talk to ANYONE and have a good time. You can even have a good time sitting in the corner by yourself. A normal roll will last about 6-7 hours. although some pills are designed to last short or longer. When you come down, you'll start to feel how sore your muscles are from the activities you've been doing. You'll also have trouble going to sleep. Sometimes you'll be up for 48 hours before you can get some decent sleep. But usually it doesn't take that long.

The only immediate side effects you feel is the soreness and lack of sleep you have experienced. Other than that, you feel fine.

If you do it too much, you can develop a tolerance and have to take more in order to achieve the same feeling. Some people snort E for a shorter more intense roll too.

As for long term side effects... it can screw you up... but only if you do it ALOT.

I hope we've talked you into not doing it. It's not worth what you lose.

Man, just embrace life. Life should be your drug, and if you need a little extra kick just indulge in booze.
