I voted other because of this:
When i tried MDA, it was taken in MDMA doses because that's what i believed it to be at the time. It was the typical one dose + half of it later on.
To compare the two,
MDMA takes me 1 hour to "feel something" and then i actually peak at the 1:30 hour mark. That's when i usually redose and the remaining duration ends at about the 3:30 hour mark. Of course afterwards some unwanted side effects remain, depending on how large the doses were, but the high never lasts longer no matter how large the dose is.
When i took MDA, i started to "feel something" at the 0:20 mark. This really surprised me because i thought it was MDMA. However, i thought nothing of it because it was just minor dizziness and sedation. Plus i was hyped up for the rave. Come 0:40 it felt like i was drunk off alcohol, a controllable drunk (3-4 shots deep maybe). Let me clarify i didn't drink alcohol or any other drug besides MDA that night. A few songs later from the point i checked the time, the hallucinations began. My male friend looked like he was wearing black eyeliner.....all the way to his nose lOl. Now in my drugged up state, i didn't ask about it and the night went on. I noticed if i stared too long at his nose trying to decipher why the fuck he did that, it looked like Obito's kamui (Naruto reference) was centred on where i was looking at. This was solved by just looking somewhere else.
Phone alarmed me that it was the 1:30 mark so i went ahead and redosed. Stupid stupid me. Well you can't blame me cause these emphathogens make you easily persuaded. In this case i was persuaded by phone lOl . At this point, i lost track of time. Black outs were frequent. I remember asking my friend something and then find myself instantly teleported to the dance floor, bent over standing up and hugging myself (this was freaky). I straightend back up and thought WTF and began the quest of looking for my friends. I don't remember accomplishing that quest, just that they appeared next to me eventually so they probably found me being a retard.
The flashing lights in the rave were nightmarish. I told my friend i was having a terrible time( the only words i could make out at the time). He probably misunderstood and pointed towards the dj where all the flashing lights were. Once i looked, i was not able to look away. It was scary. By the time the lights died down to match the calm part of a song, i was able to shake out of it. Judging by the fact my friend was no longer beside me, it must have been a while.
I somehow found my friends again decided to just chill and lean over on a hand railing. My friends were tripping as well but they only took one so they were probably not going through what i was. Upon looking at them again, their face began to morph into the face of someone else that i know that held a resemblance to them. In my drugged up mind i thought it was actually them so i said "woah! what are YOU doing here?" to each of them throughout the night. i guess they were fucked up too because they didn't respond and just went into trances like i did.
The place closed at the 4:00 hour mark and i was STILL tripping. Security kept lightly nudging everyone towards the exit so thats probably the only reason we were able to get outside. Otherwise, we'd be just standing there bobbing up and down to music that was no long playing.
One of us was able to call for a taxi and we went home. LONGEST NIGHT OF MY LIFE. The trance like state slowly faded but i was still going into trances at home (5:00 hour mark). I find myself bobbing up and down to music when its dead quiet. Looking in the mirror i still saw minor visual distortions. For some reason, as i went into a trance state after drinking some water, the way the lights reflected off the curtain made me think it was a person. I thought i was still on the dance floor and that was just a person beside me. After 10 seconds i snapped out of it and decided to just goto bed.
I somehow managed to fall asleep but woke up after only just 4 hours due to excessive teeth grinding in my sleep.
So take from it what you will, but MDA seems to be a mixed feeling of being drunk, visual hallucinations, and some MDMA, all with the usual MDMA side effects .
