asking "how many pills should I take?"

[Deleted member 290563]

I am amazed about how often I read people saying "should i take one pill or two?" as if every E pill on the planet is the exact same dose. a pill can have 40 mg or it can have 250 mg in it, but yet I hear people all the time on this forum just trying to quantify dosage by "number of pills" without even referring to which specific press they are talking about.

even outside of the forums, in the rave scene....kids will get pills and just dose themselves with 2 pills everytime even if they get a press they have never seen or had before.

I see the same thing happening with the methylone filled "molly caps" as a larger majority of users are assuming that every gel capsule filled by a dealer has the exact same dose in it all over the world, "i took two caps of molly" etc etc, is really frustrating to hear and see this so much, do people not understand what mass/weight is? its part of the reason kids think its ok to take "6 hits of molly" like during the ezoo death.

end of my rant but this just frustrates me to no end.

I agree. To add to that I saw some posts in this forum where people suggested to the opening poster to simply "Just take 1 or 2 pills". That type of mentality is highly irresponsible and can be quite dangerous especially when you don't know/have not tested the contents of the pill.

Stay safe everyone

IMO you should take zero pills per night.



This is why we list dosages in milligrams, not in how many "pills" you should take

Good point Folley.

If anything at least run the pill past pillreports before deciding how much you should take based on your tolerance and reaction to MDMA. And that's at the very least. Realistically you should do legitimate testing to figure out if what you have is the real deal and then start low and work your way up.

I really don't see any real point in this thread though , you even admitted it was just a rant. I understand your frustrations but having a thread about an observation isn't really going to accomplish much. If you want to get your point across, then enlighten people when they pop up with such questions as to what they should really be doing.

I'm going to close this. If you have any issues with me closing it send me a PM to discuss where a thread like this could actually go.
