Does Dexamphetamine build up tolerance against mdma?

[quantummolly]

I take 20mg of dex daily. I never take dex the day of my roll, but it seems that each time I have mdma, it’s getting less and less weak. The last time I had mdma, I took 180mg (came as a rock & tested high purity), I got buzzed but wasn’t flying like previous rolls.

I do space out my rolls 3 months, but a few rolls ago I accidentally munched on 350mg all at once (I thought I had duds after 1.5 hours of nothing and made the rookie mistake of popping another cap).

Is it the dexies that are fucking my rolls or the 350mg that’s fucking with it? For context, I’ve taken mdma about 8 times over the span of 3.5 years.

(And yes, I felt like I was gonna die on the come up of the 350)

I would love to say that it’s more likely to be about the quality of MDMA these days. Back in the late 90s-early 00s, I was taking ecstasy every weekend at a rave and dancing until 6 AM (I DO NOT recommend this, btw) but somehow I never “lost the magic.” I’ve done MDxx variations probably hundreds of times in my life, yet I still get a good effect from it. Even now, at 42, I’m still completely blown away by this purple Molly I currently have, even though I’ve been doing it more frequently than every 3 months

You’re probably right. I bought straight rocks once, but it tested only ~50% and felt like that amount too. It was probably made poorly.

Did you test for actual substance, not just purity?

Using at least 3 reagents?

If you didn't, you don't know what it was.

lucky!

I've tried MDMA 5-10 times so far, 1 was lab tested, the others I used reagents, I've yet to feel the magic though.
150mg with a 75mg redose gives me wobbly eyes and increased libido for 30-45 minutes but nothing more.

You are not getting good stuff, not even close.

As for what OP asked, yes, but it’s mental process and not by regular cross tolerance. It’s like I will never again be able to get high from ephedrine but first few times come up reminded me of real stimulants and was actually really nice with weed. So if you are doing amphs all the time, surely that stimulant properties of MDMA will feel somewhat less intense and amph heads will for that reason tend to add some to MDMA for a good “outdoor” experience. But stimulation isn’t really among main effects of MDMA so all in all it isn’t that noticeable. Euphoria is among main effects of MDMA so coke and meth will cause a lot more mental and in case of meth, there’s some neurological cross tolerance too.

That seems to be all too common these days...

Pushing back just a bit - you were also:

A) Younger
B) At a rave which is condusive to the MDMA experience
C) Living at a time where this stuff was expanding - it was pre social media so you could be a lot more enmeshed in the experience,
D) Far less pharmacologically impacted by other drugs, medications, etc. that have altered our brains over the past 20 years.

The MDMA may be different, but the context definitely is different, and so are we.
