damn seems like atot hates me, i get flamed in every thread, give me a break im just a young college student experiencing life one day at a time.

That's because every post you make is a brag thread about the drugs you do and how cool you are for it. Not to mention you're just hitting up a club in Ft Lauderdale/Miami so it's not really a rave.. Although I am curious as to which one is charging a $50 cover.. you should be able to find the name of a promoter and get in for free.

...but not too much, cuz water can kill you too. (not a joke)

Yeah I've heard that's a real problem when on that chemical.

There is a serious need to drink water because through multiple actions it dehydrates the person on it (specifically if they are engaging in some kind of activity, like dancing).
But if someone gets it in their head they really need to drink water while on the drug, they can quickly lose track of how much they drink.

Main thing, eat salty stuff while drinking water. That can definitely help ensure the electrolyte balance isn't diluted too far.

All true. The few raves (single digits) I ever went to had people selling bottled water at like 10-15 bucks a pop. Genius (and twisted).

that works for all parties involved too!
because they will pay the high cost, but they won't repeat the purchase so many times that they end up suffering from water intoxication.
then again, if they do, they were quite rich!

There is no desire to eat at all on MDMA.


Instead, bring gum. Lots of it. And menthols (if you smoke cigs)

neither of those give you the necessary electrolytes to replenish what is lost or to help prevent water intoxication.

they really should sell gatorade-type beverages. can't kill yourself drinking only water with sugar and electrolytes.

The last rave I was at was, damn, like 12 years ago. It only lasted until 2am or so, but that's because the Dallas police started to show up at the warehouse we were in.

It may not have lasted until 6a.m. but I figured if the cops raid a warehouse that you aren't supposed to be in, then that qualifies as being a "real" rave.

No but gum tastes delicious and helps protect your mouth and menthol cigs, well, i hear they're delicious too.
