Will it harm me if I take a tab while being 88 pounds? What about 1/2 of a tab, or 1/4? I'm 5 ft too.
 
How do you react to other drugs? Are doing ecstasy for the first time? Have you tested the pill with a test kit? Are you in fairly good health other than being underweight? I know some people have very small frames and can be totally healthy at 5', 95lbs, but 88lbs. is pretty light.

I'm 5' 4" 125lbs, and would probably start with a whole "tab" if I knew that it was a clean pill. But if it's your first time, you'll probably want to start with half. You know the saying: You can always take more but never take less.

I edited my post because I thought you were referring to a tab of blotter... so LSD, a DOx or something else. "Tab" could refer to blotter or to Lortab, and ecstasy apparently. I'm not familiar with that slang for E, but I don't know much regional slang. At any rate, the more specific information you can provide, the easier it will be for people to give you responsible harm reduction advice.

The reason I would say take the whole tab is that regardless of your body weight, it's your brain chemistry that you are ultimately trying to effect. As far as I know body mass has nocorrelation to brain mass/seretonin levels, therefore weight would not matter.

That sound right? Haha

Actually, body mass does have an effect. When you take a drug, it doesn't all go to your brain. As your body begins to absorb the drug, it is dissolved into your blood, from which it can be distributed to all the cells in your body, not the just brain.

Because of this, if a small person took the same dose as a larger person, they would feel stronger effects. One way scientists can standardize for this is by measuring doses in mg/kg.

At 88 lbs you weigh about 40kg. So assuming you eat a pill with 100mg of MDMA (if it's a really strong pill) then that is 2.5mg/kg. This is likely to be a very strong dose, especially if it's your first time. Although this isn't an overdose, it will probably be very intense.

I'd start with half a pill, see where that gets you and take the other half once you see how you feel.
 
eat a whole pill. pills arent gonna be moar than 90mg of MDxx it seems. But 88 pounds? DAMN.

That's not THAT bad. I know girls who are 90 pounds and look perfectly normal. It's probably because she's only 5 feet.
 
^ yeah, I have tiny friends and family (some under 5ft!), and they are all just small people --- healthy looking, just very small-framed and lean. OP, by the way you say this, is there a reason other than natural body chemistry you are so thin? If so I'm guessing that can interact with any drug, make sure you know what you have.
