It lets you connect with your friends in a fun, special way....enhances the music, the atmosphere, you can dance your ass off. But we all know at the end of the night, there's a comedown...that's something we should accept w/ it...there are bad sides to this drug so I guess when they outweigh the good stuff, there's no point to it..ecstacy just a great form of escapism for a little while once in a while, all drugs have a bad side, so when used in excess of course that fun is going to diminish...

I guess after 4 years of medium to light use I must still be on the x honeymoon. A lot of my friends that started after me just went nuts having pills everyweekend then twice everweekend and within 2 years they were jaded and starting conversations like this thread too.
I have pills only 4 or 5 times a year now. about half as much as when I started. I still have a grea time, talk shit to strangers dance and no doubt make an ass of myself too. I am glad that when i started I found a site that I learned about jaded people on. I swore never to become one.
I see it as a window into the type of person I want to be like all the time, without being on drugs. Like on LSD or shrooms, I feel E has opened up certain doors in my mind, then closed them again once the drug wears off. But I still know they're there and I can tap into them when I want simply by reliving the experience in my mind.
