Let's talk about drugs

Hi CS, It really isn't. At least, not when it's good. MDMA is a very different beast, much more user friendly than LSD. It mostly works on your mood, changes your outlook. The hallucinatory aspect is much less intense. Where acid tends to amplify whatever mood you happen to be in, MDMA tends to directly make you happy. You feel, by turns, elated and energetic, then calm and filled with a sense of inner peace. You tend to feel an enhanced sense of empathy with others. If they're on it as well, you feel an profound sense of connectedness. The body rush comes and goes.I think it's worth trying. It can be genuinely therapeutic, since it can show you another side to yourself; happier, kinder, more confident and more loving. I've seen it really transform people for the better. It does have its risks though. It's not something to use too often. Personally, I prefer MDEA, which has less of the body buzz (which is more associated with MDA, methalone, etc) and more of the emotional effects. It is also more powerfully hallucinogenic in the way that an LSD user might recognise. Doesn't turn up very often though.Of course, if you really want acid style visuals whilst on ecstasy, there is a way... just take both! I doubt that, since it's gone out of fashion on both sides of the pond. I suspect that the demand for acid simply fell through when people started to realise how pleasant E was. E isn't as unpredictable as acid. There is very little chance of a "bad trip". For a lot of people, that made acid kind of obsolete. Ah. Sounds nice, but I just physically cannot smoke that stuff. It's like smoking hay. Not enough active ingredient, you have to smoke through great bales of it. Or maybe I've just had bad batches. I would be interested to try some of the concentrated preparations though. I might actually be able to inhale enough to get a high before I went into respiratory arrest. Yeah, yeah... My friend (seriously, this wasn't me) is quite an accomplished psychonaut. I've watched him determinedly trying to walk through a wall, because he thought there was a magic gateway in it. My favourite of his headfuck anecdotes is the time he lost his hand inside a solid object.He went to hit a button on his stereo. His hand apparently disappeared inside the stereo, as if he were reaching into water. The whole hand seemed to disappear, into a solid piece of plastic, right up to the wrist. Then he found it was stuck in there, like it was set in concrete. He was stuck there for a good half an hour, long enough that his arm got tired before it finally plopped out.Later that night the police came to arrest him for vagrancy. In his own home. He reckons he managed to give them the slip because he could see through walls.Apparently Cubensis mushrooms are kinda like that.Mutate and Survive

Hi F+L,In that sort of field, given a choice between LSD and MDMA, I would go with ecstasy every time. It's just got a better track record of creating positive experiences. Acid is more powerful and might a have quicker or more profound effect, but it might also go horribly, horribly wrong.Mutate and Survive
