Okay. SWIM tried xtc for the second time at a music festival last year. The first time, it was a pleasant low dose experience, and she felt fantastic. The second time something stupid happened.
SWIM was with some people from out of town and they had run out of pills, so they bought from a man at the festival. They got 3 pills, 2 green and one red. The two other people took the green pills and swim took the red. Coming up was normal, but all of a sudden waves of panic and increased heart rate kept washing over swim. Within an hour of dropping, they had left the festival and gone to a club. Swim was having a near constant wave of panic, and was eating ice at the bar to keep her body temp down, despite sitting outside in the cool air and not dancing. Swim kept drinking water and pouring it on herself. Finally swim left the club to go sit with her friend who was having a normal roll. She later said that swims heart was beating so fast the veins in her neck were visibly bulging.
Heres the question. Swim has been very VERY reluctant to try since that last incident. She truly thinks what she got was not xtc but more than likely PMMA, considering that swim was in south florida and it is common there.
Is this a reasonable conclusion? Now the same festival is coming up again and swim’s friends have assured her they have bought from a reputable source, and tried one of every batch. Swim is very unsure if she should try. Swim wants too and thinks she will get caught up in the moment regardless, but swim never wants to feel like she did that night again.
Is it possible those symptoms came from a bad reaction to real xtc rather than an adulterated pill? Does xtc affect the heart rate?
Swim is also a prolific coffee drinker, and has no heart problems associated with all that caffeine, does mdma affect the heart more or less than caffeine?
Should swim take doses a quarter a pill at a time to gauge the experience?, and if so, how long should she wait before taking the next dose.
lastly swims friends have also bought some molly, and have said its less likely to be adulterated with PMA , is this true?
Swim is 23 btw and an adult male 215 lbs, so even though this sounds like a highschool question swim is just not that familiar with xtc.
