You've been planning this out for months, you think about it every day, and it's all you and your buddies are talking about. Does this sound familiar? if so keep reading. I understand you may be spending hundreds if not thousands to attend this event, shit you might be spending a $1000+ on your tickets alone. You're wondering " can I roll more than one day at this event?". Believe me I know exactly how you feel. You want to have the most possible fun for the amount of money you spent. Believe me I know the economy is in the bucket and these events can get really expensive fast but please listen to my advice.

Only roll one day.

The best option is to roll the last night so you can enjoy the entire festival and then go out with a bang on the last night. If that is not going to be the case for you, pick the artist you are really excited to see and time your roll for their set. I know what you guys are thinking, "well just this one weekend". I was in that exact line of thinking when a I told a good friend of mine that I was going to roll two nights in a row at a festival I laid out some cash for.

His response " that is a terrible idea, you should strong consider not doing that"
my response to him "challenge accepted"

Luckily the molly I had coming didn't get there in time and thank god it did not because I know I would have abused the ever living shit out of it and would have had HELL to pay. Nearly every thread I read on people having a horrible reaction to this compound has a common theme to it, the person it took it way to often. Even if this is a three day event and you want to roll the first night, rest on the second, and roll the third, understand that a one day rest period is not even a reasonably acceptable recovery time.

But like I know this guy who rolled two days in a row and he was fine?!?

Yup I had a friend who rolled all 3 days at a famous festival and went to a festival the next weekend and rolled both nights. I spoke with him in person and was surprised at how well he was... He is the statistical anomaly, the over whelming majority of people, if they tried this, would feel terrible for most likely weeks afterwards. I don't know about you but I have responsibilities and come Monday morning I can't afford to feel like 7 shades of death. The chances of you having the genetic make up to handle this kind of abuse ( let's be real about it) and feel ok after wards are slim to none. It simply isn't worth the risk even more so if you are a teenager.



-more to come, I'm off to work but I really want to start this because I forgot to last night-

In my glory days i would've rolled the whole way through, totalling perhaps 5-10 pills and a heap of meth. And yes paid for it afterwards and spent $500 on drugs, but fuckit, i'll deal with reality on Monday!

For reference - see the scene in Human Traffic where Jip is getting ready for his weekend on Friday night:

The weekend has landed. All that exists now is clubs, drugs, pubs and parties. I've got 48 hours off from the world, man. I'm gonna blow steam out my head like a screaming kettle, I'm gonna talk cod shit to strangers all night, I'm gonna lose the plot on the dancefloor. The free radicals inside me are freakin', man! Tonight I'm Jip Travolta, I'm Peter Popper, I'm going to never-never land with my chosen family, man. We're gonna get more spaced out than Neil Armstrong ever did, anything could happen tonight, you know? This could be the best night of my life. I've got 73 quid in my back burner - I'm gonna wax the lot, man! The Milky Bars are on me! Yeah!

That sums it up beautifully! Just go out and have a blast. (and yes you CAN go out and have a blast safely if you do your research)

That advce is stupid and against HR. No you cannot roll for more than one day and be fine. Only a few hours ago, I was reading a post of yours on the "why isn't MDMA addictive" thread. Sure you say you would deal with the reality on monday, but that attitude didn't work out so well for you in the end did it....No,I didn't think so either.

I understand what you mean by go have a blast, im all for that. Its just you can roll once and have a blast. When I see all these threads about rolling consecutive days, it really gets to me. I did that once, and It took me a month to recover. I dont want others to make the same mistake
 
Hi Silentroller

Sorry - I was taking the piss. I should've been more clear.

I was trying to say that BACK IN THE DAY thats what I would've done.

Now I am older, wiser, more drug-proof, and a BIG advocate of Harm Reduction.

But take careful note - that harm reduction does not necassarily mean taking LESS drugs - it means making an educated choice as to how many drugs you take and how to take them. You can take 5 pills in a night and do stupid things like: 1) No pre load or post load 2) not enough water 3) not eating something at some point 4) not testing those 5 pills 5) not sleeping for days or you can take the same number of pills in the opposite, and hence safer, way.

Yes the more pills/drugs you take in a session, the more harm you are potentially doing. But that is unavoidable and I also STRONGLY advocate knowing WHAT the harm may be. It is hard with MDMA as the long term affects are still being debated.

And finally and most importantly - TAKE THE CONSEQUENCES. As I said - i am now on anti-psychotic medication and will be for life, because I went too hard for too long. So I accept that, it was me, my fault, and no good winging about it.


Hope that clears that up

You'll be good to roll everyday as long as you take some 5-HTP daily for the following week AFTER the festival. Start taking them the next day, not during the festival. 5-HTP will recharge your serotonin so that you don't have to deal with a nasty comedown, depression, ect.
 
No worries WC, cheers for clearing it up. I didn't mean to come across as an extremist twat, its just with all these threads popping up reently, and seeing some of the "Yeah you can roll everyday if you take 5HTP" (Im looking at you wayne C) its starts to yank my chain a bit.

If anyone is interested in reading my thread "Don't shout at me BL", which details not only my fuck up with rollijg 2 days in a row, but the moment my attitude changed, feel free. Everytime i think about rolling too soon, or redosing, i just read my thread, and it re-enforces the little voice of HR in my head :p

Be good? No, just no.
It will help but the MDMA can still be just as harmful.
Obviously many of us have rolled multiple days at festivals but not even the "magical" 5-HTP won't save you.
 
Argh... if you take a central nervous system stimulant as powerful as MDMA then you ARE going to have a dip afterwards. The more you take, the more severe the dip. Its simple. You need to figure out where your tolerance lies, and how much suffering afterwards is justified. Yes there are dozens of ways of reducing harm, and 5-HTP is good, but no matter what you do, if you binge, you will crash. Don't winge, don't try and escape the fact - like i said, what goes up must come down.

Personally I can't do more than a full night on uppers. I generally stay up the whole of the next day and use some valium to wind down, and crash by about 5pm. I've worked out that any more than that is not worth it. And i've worked out that I can't drop again within a week as it doubles the comedown for me.

Everyone is different. What is your cost/benefit analysis?

This is the best advice to give. Rolling the last day makes a lot of sense too
 
To be honest if you can't do one night at a festival sober, that festival probably isn't very good and you shouldn't really be there. (imo)
People love to just blow their brains daily at festivals and hell yeah its fun, but damage wise it's pretty off especially with the crap hygiene and nutrition you're getting (one meal a day, mostly oranges). I have done the twice in a row thing on MD and actually the second time will always make you feel like it could have been much better if X or Y. It is completely possible to do it but ime it ruins the experience. The decision not to is also a lot harder if you don't have great access to drugs, lets say you've only got MD & weed at a festival, you're going to want to smash the MD more than someone who has md, weed, ket, 2cb, acid... etc. So I suppose my advice is get your variety in!

Rolling a second night in a row or in a weekend always makes me feel like something was missing, left out or that the experience could have been better if this... or that...
 
Unfortunately in Melbourne now there are always at least half a dozen sniffer dogs at ALL music festivals, and troups of police running the dogs and generally 'keeping the peace'. Pretty much every festival has 50+ arrests, usually 90% for posession but there's always a couple that get done for dealing too. It makes a good PR exercise for the police, to make the public think that the 'war on drugs' is still being fought, and there is ALWAYS an article about it with some ridiculous headline like 'DEADLY DRUGS SEIZED AT FESTIVAL'..... the good news is that those that get caught with just a few pills normally just get a warning and mandatory drug counselling. The only trouble at festivals are drunk people. And GHB (i can't believe people bother with that stuff, its not even fun).

A couple of years ago on New Years Eve, i think 2004 or thereabouts, there was a record low number of criminal/violent incidents, and the chief of police was quoted as saying that it was because of people taking ecstasy instead. Yeah!!!

I agree with this 110%

Straight up I won't even lie I went balls to the walls at the last festival I went to and really wish I hadn't. I spent so much god damn money and barely remember any of the sets.

I will suggest those that you get a pair of prism eye glasses, this makes going to a show on a couple beers, or even sober for that matter, pretty god damn fun.
 
If you don't want to roll everyday you could always just trip on one of those days. Take some good old L or shrooms on one of the days, psychedelics go great with EDM. I've tripped/rolled for consecutive days at many festivals. As long as its just a few times a year I'm sure you'll be safe.
 
That is some rather shity advice. This thread is about encouraging people to make smart safe choices.
 
You'll be good to roll everyday as long as you take some 5-HTP.
