    Welcome Guest!

Are you an informer?

yes. my "friend" says really stupid things. He's completely ignorant and thinks that him drinking about as often as me doing E is somehow me putting holes in my brain. I'd like to see a legitimate study on the effects that Ecstasy seems to have. Some of the stuff people say to me is just ridiculous. My friend tried to argue that i'm lessening my dopamine. I thought ok, that's a good point, except that it's called serotonin.

I'm fine with arguing to intelligent people that KNOW the facts.
 
I try to be, but sometimes it gets too hard.

Some kids in my neighborhood started dropping acid and they were asking all sorts of questions about whether or not the navy would be testing their hair for it or if it was okay to crack their backs
 
yeah I try to be. TBH most of my friends know about as much as me; we're all pretty well-informed about drugs. One thing I have noticed, though, is that knowledge doesn't always translate into actually practising harm reduction IRL when everyone's already fucked on drugs :\ so if, say, someone dropped their 5th pill of the night, I'd never clear my throat and say 'y'know that'll deplete your serotonin levels for days and won't really add much to your buzz except feeling speedy' - it wouldn't go down well, y'know?

Two approaches that work better IME are 1) telling people about bluelight and erowid and stuff so they can do their own research, and 2) acting being vagule responsible and open about my own drug use when I'm around inexperienced or non-drug users. Eg this one time my friend and I were sitting around bumping ketamine before we went out. This other guy who was sitting around with us was bitching about us taking 8o OMG DRUGS! 8o but when he saw that we weren't really all that fucked up - certainly not more than the really, really drunk people that are common at our university - he had to admit that we'd opened his mind somewhat. true story.
 
Yeah I usually end up having in-depth conversations with people at some point in the night about how it works and straighten out the myths. Every little helps!
 
I'm always correcting bullshit i hear about pills.

Unfortunately people have this tendency to think that 'learning it on the streets' is better than learning it on here or places like this, which is completely wrong. There is just so so so so SO much BS floating around 'on the streets' or via word of mouth.

Even if you just read the ecstasy FAQ on this site, i would say you have a more accurate knowledge about pills that 60-70% of people in the scene. At least were i live anyway.
 
I always inform my friends. One of my friends was worried about holes in his brain and i explained to him that does not happen. My boyfriend thought LSD was mescaline. Took me a while to convince him they are two different substances, but i got through him after showing him some proof online. Thats the thing about me, if i try to inform someone and they dont believe me, i WILL go ahead and get some proof.

NOW, when my dealer comes out with these stories about heroin based pills or how u can just drop dead if u take a pill that has more than 120mg, i just dont say anything cause he thinks he is the GOD of pills, so i wont even bother.

At times though, the people are just ignorant and foolhardy, in which case I won't bother to try and correct them, or teach them the truth.

My best friend and I are the same way. When we debunk myths, ESPECIALLY the double/triple stack one that everyone falls for and people listen simply because we sound obnoxiously intelligent and use a lot of four syllable words. Usually it's in the context of "Look, you're my friend, and I want you to get the best deal and the real thing, and to know how to protect yourself," and I've managed to educate most of my friends on the topic. Or I just point them to Erowid or Bluelight. :]

My other friend told me once that if you pet a dog or a cat while rolling, the animal will absorb the MDMA through your sweat through their skin and start rolling. 8) that was the hardest eye roll I ever did. She's also a fan of 'double stacked blue dolphins.'
