Indigo is a rave-veteran, and I support what she did. (She literally did nothing but observe, NOT STARE. Very different) She was being a chaperone for a younger crowd, get off your high horse. lol. You also say this like we cant simply observe while having fun. Im a very observant person. I notice people and things happening around me. You know, people arent just staring at others to see what their reactions are. We just notice it. Shes just vigilant.
She did exactly what needs to be done for this threads purpose. (remember, we are literally trying to find out whats wrong with mdma, and shes a big contributor here) She just watched people on mdma.
Totslly agree with you angle and interpretation and fully disputes the misinterpretation in question.
Indigo was only being her natural self it's not like she said "right I'm going to get my backpack and notebook and go to this event and watch everybody and make observations, like a good Girl Scout!"
As was misinterpreted. She just was herself, she wasn't going to the event in the usual frame of mind and circumstance with the same intentions and mindset it was more or performing a role, a service for a friend.
And once there, she just happened to make a series of very interesting observations, for good reasons, with a healthy and useful purpose.
It was interesting to her, it was all very natural. I don't see the need to question, mock or reproach that at all. Perfectly understandable and with good purpose.
I felt her post and comments added to the topic, it was an interesting insight into an already interesting phenomena to myself personally- the outward appearance of ecstasy users.
It actually brought back quite a few memories of what people used to look like back in the day. I remembered a particular batch of Elephant pills we were taking one weekend over 3 days I took 24 they were the best of the best pretty much easily over 100mg probably 130 to 150mg of the best MDMA.
It was commonplace to take a lot of pills back then for most people and and people were double and triple dropping them which was totally unnecessary.
I remember when I got to the venue an indoor apartment, on the friday night before dropping- there were two young guys who had taken 3 each and walked a long way back from the other side of town at night.
Man you should have seen the site and the state of these guys sitting on the couch.
They barely looked human they were literally melting and morphine and warping before my straight eyes no exaggeration.
Gurning like hell they looked like a Salvador Dali painting or melting wax figures.
Such a bizarre and captivating site almost gruesome to see somebody in that visibly altered state.
Not sure I have a point, but what a sight.
