#1 with a partner
#2 familiar house party
#3 alone
Never liked taking it at raves. I dance a ton at raves and stimulants can bring down my performance. Only a few beers and a joint is needed for dancing in that atmosphere imo.
I have raved, and it was fun. But I am like you. A few good friends, or a partner in a safe place is the way I do it now. I turn into a cuddle bug on ecstacy.
