Bad side effect of drugs: Poor grammar

Messing with your brain chemistry isnt usually a good idea, especially if you are under 18.

First of all, its spelled Ectasy.. probably why your not having much luck finding out information about it

Honestly though, I have taken in about 5 times in total. It doesn't really mess with your head much, it kind of makes you more sensitive to touch, also seemed to have made my body flow with music better etc. It is a pretty good feeling over all. I didn't experience any bad side effects nor have I seen anyone else suffer bad side effects.

I don't advise anyone to take it nor am I trying to promote it.. this stuff is pretty dangerous, i've heard before that if you take too much it does something to a part of your brain that controls happiness.. and can lead to depression later on in life. If you were to take it anyways, my only advice would be to keep well hydrated, and try not to drink alcohol while on it. Also, make sure you get it from a good source, because this stuff could be cut with anything.. you never know.

Thanks for the input. Several medical websites spell it the other extacy, so I just put that. I've read some about it, just wanted "real world" experiences, i guess.

After you take it, watch this. It is the only known video to kill someone's need to touch another when on X........hahahaha

 

[CrazyRyan]

All it really does is make you see colors and it can kill you or swiss cheese your brain the first time you
use it. so go for some acid its much better

you'll have even more trouble finding information if you spelled it like that

there's so much misinformation that it's not even funny. MDMA was initially used during the 80s to "cure" social phobia. that's one of the reasons why it's so popular. it helps people to come out of their shells. you can get "pures" which are fairly safe. you start getting into trouble due to all the different cuts available. you never know what the batches are laced with.

secondly, how many people that use X die? and what are the X related deaths in comparison to, let's say ALCOHOL?

I took a total of probably 30 pills over the course of 3 years (I've since quit) so I may be able to tell you some stuff.

First - the good stuff: It's a LOT of fun when you're on it. Most lights give off tracers/trails, which is why so many people go to raves and take glowsticks. The contrast between darkness and light is really something to see, and when your eyes are more sensitive while on it you enjoy any kind of light show. If you can't dance, you learn how to very quickly. Moving and flowing becomes 5000 times easier (at least liquid dancing and break dancing, most other types are about the same). You become super sensitive to touch, so hugs/kisses/whatever feel really good. Most of your inhibitions dissappear, so you end up having really deep conversations with people.

Now the bad: The next day is hell. When you take MDMA you basically burn out certain chemical receptors in your brain. The next day when they become functional again you know it. The next day or 2 you are out of it. Totally antisocial, and fully without emotions. You also physically feel bad. Since you were in such a good mood the night before it is very easy to fall into depression the next day. You also run the risk of hurting yourself very badly. You must keep hydrated while on E. Your body increases it's temperature dramatically while you're on it, and as soon as you start dancing and such you start to overheat. There were a few times where I went a few hours without drinking water and almost passed out from heat stroke. It is a BIG risk you take. Another thing: fat women. ANYTHING looks good to you so you run a huge risk of hooking up with the thing from the abyss. You'll definitely regret it in the morning.

I've listed the lesser side effects above, but the major ones are really bad. Every pill you take, be it 1 time or 50 times does major damage to your brain. Permanent damage. Your brain does not regenerate ever, so once you do the damage it's done forever. E is particularly damaging because it is so potent. Don't think pot or LSD... think more like crystal or heroin.
Also, ecstasy is a very profitable drug for dealers. So much that they'll substitute other drugs in its place and call it E. A recent development at clubs are the testing stations. So many people got fake pills and got very sick/died off of them that some clubs set up anonymous testing stations. You go up and hand them your pill. they shave off a few specs, test it/tell you it's clean, and give you your pill back. No harm, no cops, completely anonymous. It was called Dance Safe I believe. The problem is that this is a volunteer organization and they are not very common. I mention this because of the regularity that dealers substitute other drugs in place of E. Every single person I know has had a bad pill. I quit when I ended up in a club bathroom on the floor. I had taken 1 pill and ended up vomiting, halucinating (in a bad way), overheating, losing the ability to move, and had to be carried out of the club. My best friend had a seizure that night on the same stuff. Most of the people I took with me that night decided to keep doing the drug on future occations, and each of them have had bad pills since that night. You never know what you're getting, and dealers are using worse stuff to substitute now then before.

Basically what I'm saying is YOU DO NOT WANT TO FSCK WITH THIS STUFF. It's expensive, very damaging to your brain, and just not worth what happens for that few hours of fun. PM me if you are still not convinced or if I haven't been clear (it's late, I'm tired).

One more thing: E is not physically addicting, and AFAIK it is not mentally addicting according to traditional definitions. It is addicting though. Once you get over the depression and all after effects of that first pill, you want to buy more. You may not actively seek it out, but as soon as you are made aware of someone having stuff to sell you will be there with money in hand.

"Pures" are not called ecstasy, they are called molly, and even then are still not truely pure. Molly is just more concentrated E, you still get the "filler" that causes all the bad effects. True, for that few hours you find it much easier to talk to people, but if you already were in a shell the next day after taking it you will be even farther in your shell. MANY people that use E die. Most not from ODing on the pill itself (unless they got one of the many fakes going around filled with stuff like say concentrated GHB... thats the pills my group got that caused me to quit. I'm glad I was poor and could only afford 1 that night) but from related problems. Heat stroke (VERY common), doing stupid stuff (I watched a rolling person climg a 3 story light tower just so they could dance in a less crowded area, they almost lost their grip 4 times while climbing up), other drugs (when you're rolling you want to make that good feeling get better, so why not take a line or 5 of coke, and drink some beers, and smoke whatever), and many other things.

It was used by psychologists until the '80s or so. Like most drugs, people don't die from using them, unless they overdose, but like most drugs, E does have potential long lasting neurological side effects, similar to LSD. Not everyone will have them, but quite alot will.

As I said people dont die from drugs unless they overdose, more people overdose on asprin, than anything else. You can overdose on nicotine, caffine, alchol. You could potentially die from long term use of any drug as well, as they all cause physical damage to, most commonly heart diease.

Dope is for dopes.

 

[PrinceofWands]

Having worked in a hospital ER for about 2 yrs I can relate direct effects. It can fvck$ you up. Not saying it 'always' does, but we usually had about 1 a night (and this isn't a large area)...sometimes none, sometimes 3-4. A couple died from INDIRECTLY related situations (driving while under, mixing other drugs/alcohol, etc). Mostly they were just completely out of control. It was also pretty common to have follow-up rape filings or returns for other things (pregnancy tests, STD tests, etc).

All the medical studies say the same thing, vicously dangerous drug, serious physiological risks, bad juju.

I know without even reading this post that most people will bitch and complain that I don't know anything, well, I know what it's like to tie those people to the beds to keep them from hurting themselves or others...I know what it's like to watch the parents come in to pick them up...I know what it's like to see their faces cope with having to go on serious drugs because their bio-chemistry is permanently whacked. I DONT know what it's like to trip, and, quite frankly, I have no desire to.

Your choice, but those are the facts as I've experienced them.

 

[tops2]

well, decide for urself
e is pretty cool, but yeah, there are some bad cases
personally, the worst i gotten was the depression a few times afterwards, but they were rare

If anyone remembers my post about my friend who is missing (still missing), he was using ecstacy. I remember about a year and a half ago when he first started and I didn't really know anything about it. He said it was safe, I told him that it definatly was not (common sense), but he assured me that he would only try it once to see what it was like. Ever since then, I think he started using regularly. I realize this now that someone brought it up.

 

[Alex]

i only popped it like twice and its exactly like jfall told it... one thing: try having sex whilst "high" on E... talk about enhanced !! its addictive...

heres a word about the side-effects:

ironically, the dumbest, least mind-altering drug is the one that most messes up your system. this and ice.

ectasy works its magic by releasing dopamine or something in your brain giving you the buzz and making you feel all nice n light n stuff. dopamine (lets assume this is what its called cuz im translating from a faded memory in portuguese...) is the hormone or enzyme or whatever responsible for being happy/hyper etc. if you pop too much E then when you get older you wont have that much dopamine left and will become extremely depressed. this is a buit general and there are no safe amounts to take, depends from person to person.

heres my advice: if youre curious to try, go ahead. i was and i did (and i was under 18 for the record). but be smart about it. know that youre only doing this once or twice out of curiosity cuz its totally NOT worth it in the long-run, unless you plan to die at age 25 or something... theres nothing wrong with experimenting anything, as long as you have sufficient will-power to appreciate thats its a once or twice in a lifetime experience.
