you don't have to take it with a group. Yes it is good to do alone! i just listened to music and bluelighted for hours lol. i heard someone say something to the effect of: ecstasy isn't the special occasion, it makes the occasion special.
Oh it was - sorry I just meant it wasnt in a clubby social setting that most people automatically think of when they hear the word 'Ecstasy'.
i find rolling alone is extremely therapeutic actually. when i roll with other people its a lot of fun but sometimes it leaves me feeling like i didnt really get anything out of it and the roll was wasted..
these days i use mdma exclusively for candy flipping, which i always do alone.
I have not had any experience with ecstasy yet. However, I was wondering if anyone here has actually taken it by themselves, at home. MDMA and MDA are pretty much the ultimate "social drugs". Cannabis, acid, mushrooms, nitrous oxide... all of these can help improve social situations, but can also be greatly enjoyed alone. But people seem to think that ecstasy HAS to be taken in a group setting. Is this true? Would taking ecstasy at home, by yourself, be a bad idea and/or a waste?
I've heard that, if taken alone, you should focus on stimulating activities, such as taking a shower or bathing.
Thoughts? Experiences?
I'd like to something clarified... Are asking this because you just don't have the occasion to take it with people?
Because if you do have people you can roll with, then by all means, do it!
To answer your question, YES you can take it alone. MDMA is always a pleasurable experience, the euphoria WILL be there no matter what.
The lovey feelings and empathy will also manifest themselves even if your alone. You will connect with people you see on TV, for instance, or with mankind in general.
But it's also true that something will be missing, you'll wish you had people around you to share the experience with. So yes ultimately, it'll feel at least partially like a waste.
IMHO opinion, the best way to take MDMA is with people who are also rolling. The emotional synergy will be at its highest that way.
Also, don't forget that you only have a limited number of rolls (the infamous loss of magic). So, don't waste them...
Personally, I don't know anyone with whom I can roll. My friends are not interested in drugs and I'm not at all into the rave scene...
So up until now, I had to content myself with solitary rolls, often mixed with acid. But music and introspection make the experience worthwhile.
I increasingly take MDMA alone. I do this for the following reasons:
1) The cliched behaviour becomes a little trying. Shirts off, declarations of love etc...
2) Always some fucker who doesn't even smoke insisting on someone walking with them in the freezing rain to get some smokes from the off licence.
3) When everyone can finally agree on music, minds are soon changed and it's rare a whole album is listened to.
4) Randoms are always showing up when word is out and sofas and chairs become a commodity.
5) People spilling ash and beer everywhere.
I don't know, maybe I'm just getting old.
I've done it many times before. Just make sure u have something to do I.e video games, compter just something to keep u busy and make u forget your alone lol and as far as a bad trip? Or a waste? No not at all its more of a different experience when your alone you get more of a sense of yourself? Lol I dunno but its still fun as hell and not a waste.
