One specific experience in 2000, taking some truly amazing "ecstasy" pills called "limes" at my University accomodation village.
I say "ecstasy" because Im almost dead sure these limes were high dose MDA. Very very strong pills, clean as they come, they were unmarked and shaped exaclty like old school Snowballs.
Domed on both sides, no score, solid, chunky and quite "towerblock" in shape.
They had the most incredible, alluring, intoxicating classic aroma. I have no idea what MDA actually smells like, and obviously I don't know for sure that these pills were MDA, but Iimagine it is possible that commonly circulating original MDMA and MDA have a similar odor profile.
But these limes were different to MDMA and exactly like MDA. Very trippy. A lack of empathy. Really rushy and long lasting. They were really mind-bending in a way that MDMA neveris but MDA can be.
Vefy high dose too, I know the classic Snowballs were 200 mg MDA and I don't think these were far off.
Anyway, one night I took 1.5 Limes out in town, after being persuaded to part with half a pill before I could double drop.
I returned to accomodation by taxi with the guy to try and get more. We succeeded and both double dropped then smoked a huge blunt of the strongest, stickiest OG Purple Haze I ever saw.
SERIOUS weed, the likes of which I don't believe exists anymore, as far as we have come with regards to cannabis.
So we passed thw blunt between 3 of us, huge tokes in quick circuit.
Wow, what a come up that was on that double drop, taking me to 3 1/2 total. What a rush.
And the CEV'S in particular. Unbelievable. I distinctly remember being struck with all at the time and to this day I have never experienced more amazing and captivating closed eye visuals. Just madness, green and purple swirls with so much 3D depth. Indescribable really. I never took anymore that night and I was still completely off my head all day Sunday until bed at night.
Those Limes were something else. When I put on my order for my desert island retreat, I'm definitely having a thousand of them haha not joking!
