50-100mg is certainly not a microdose. And taking MDMA intranasally is pointless. I believe the bioavailability is similar to or even worse than oral.
You're getting some pretty cut shit if most people you know aren't rolling off 100mg. The several studies MAPS did for PTSD found incredible therapeutic effects from 80-120mg. Most people should not need more than that.
I find 110mg to be the sweet spot personally with the batch I have in my stash. 120mg hit me a bit hard and 100mg was pretty good for my first time but maybe a touch weaker than expected. My friend who is very experienced with MDMA + psychedelics and taking the same batch found 90-100mg to be a good amount.
If you and everyone you share your M with needs more than ~120mg for a roll and you aren't all unusually tolerant and/or all have high bodyweights, you are probably getting M from a bad source (avoid street dealers) that is cut and/or not actually MDMA. The only other exception would be if you have a history of abusing MDMA, in which case you should be avoiding M anyways to allow your serotonin receptors to repair themselves.
Advocating that people take 130+ mg is incorrect and dangerous if they go too far above that (e.g. 200mg)
To clarify, when I say I had 100mg I had tolerance due to the gram of MDA I took over the course of a week a good few months back + other dosings and some MDMA too over the summer-autumn. Yes, I took a lot of MDMA until my twenties, then took a huge hiatus and took it only 1-2 times a year, max. for over a decade, if that. I assure you, the experience has become fully restored and my serotonin receptors appear absolutely as fine as anybody elses, unless somebody wants to somehow conduct some kind of experiment and prove otherwise.
Either way, about 50mg insufflated is easily a microdose without tolerance. My friend is giving me some this week so I'll gladly try again, without any current tolerance.
With regards to getting incredibly cut shit: I can only say that I've tried my absolute best to source the best MDMA I can since I first acquired crystal MDMA in 2005: I've had numerous different types and batches from numerous sources, and I've always weighed my doses since day one; and do so for my friends before we go out (unless I'm at a party and just going all in). I've tried, a
lot of different MDMA. Basically whatever is the best I can reasonably find in the UK/EU. I seriously, highly doubt I simply got cut shit all those years, in comparison to whatever you got. I'd imagine that on average, it was roughly the same. Unless yours is consitently 20mg stronger. FTR all my MDMA is lab tested, and I often post said lab results and photos of the MDMA in EADD. I'm yet to discover any active cut.
And taking MDMA intranasally is pointless. I believe the bioavailability is similar to or even worse than oral.
It isn't pointless at all. I said:
I have exprimented with microdosing MDMA this past year or so and I would take 50-100mg or so, usually in lines so it hit fast
I wanted it to hit fast, so ergo, it was not pointless. It was exactly what I wanted. It generally hits harder and faster, but doesn't last quite as long and is typically different.
Advocating that people take 130+ mg is incorrect and dangerous if they go too far above that (e.g. 200mg)
You've just said that 100mg was weaker than expected your first time. Then you said 120mg hit you too hard. 130mg is hardly a world away (an extra 10mg) if you want to ensure you come up properly. Not sure why you mentioned 200mg, I didn't.
Like I said, my personal experience says you need to break through to get the deep and psychedelic connection to MDMA, and not to teeter round the edges. I don't personally find that MDMA is something that tends to hit people 'too hard'. IME once people are up it's all flowers and sunshine.
Regardless, hand me the finrest MDMA in the world and 50mg orally will absolutely not be enough to come up properly. It's a totally functional dose, at best. Regardless, it's below the the MAPS studies (and maps are seeking federal approval, not neccesarily the exploration of higher and more effective doses).
If it hit's you too hard at 120mg, then I think that probably explains any difference between our relative experiences.
I'd appreciate if if you didn't try and tell me my past history of personal experience was somehow 'incorrect', or dangerous, especially when you're taking a roughly similar dose; and it does not tally with my reality. MDMA is incredibly forgiving, in my personal, real life experience, and that of these forums. Also, UK MDMA culture and expectations of responsibility is for whatever reason, very different culturally, to that of the USA and canada, as evidenced numerous times in numerous discussions, ad infinitum, on these very forums.
