body size/build & MDMA

[Witch Doctor]

ive always been under the impression that the more body mass you have the more of a chemical u should be able to take, correct me if im wrong on this one.

But what about if u got 2 ppl both weighing in at say 100kg, but person1 has 25% body fat and person2 10% body fat. Is this going to affect who rolls harder?

i'm not sure about this one but i've found some pretty strange things with mdma tolerance amongst my friends...

you would assume that the bigger you are the more of a drug you can withstand because to get the same drug concentration in your body you would have to take more...i could be wrong but because mdma effects connections in the brain, tolerance levels wouldn't necessarily have anything to do with a person's body weight.

i say this because i'm 5'11" and 80kg and a single pill usually doesn't effect me as much as it effects others, but, my girlfriend is about 5'9" and about 60kg and she can take more pills than me! another one of my mates is 6'4" and 85kg and he needs alot of pills to get a desired effect, another is 6'4" and 100kg and one good pill will have him munted for hours!

i don't think body weight has much to do with it, i think its more to do with how your body reacts to it.

as i said before, i could be wrong, thats just my theory. can someone else clear it up?

It probably varies a LOT based on your metabolism, body fat content, level of hydration, frequency of doing pills, activity of metabolic enzymes in your liver and how high you're aiming to get.

I'm 6'6" and about 100kg, and pills these days fuck me so hard I can't take more than half at a time without turning into a complete etard, and I really enjoy the effects from a quarter pill in preference.

I suppose it depends on how hammered you want to get. On the other hand, I can drink quite a lot of alcohol and remain fairly with it, so perhaps my pill intake is more modified by preferring to slowly work up to a mellow roll over a night by quarters/halves when I feel the need, rather than an peak chasing eye-wiggling jawcrusher night dropping wholes every 2 hours on the dot like I used to enjoy years ago...

Somewhere along the line I got into the mindset that 'less is more' which works out easier on the body and brain, and the wallet.

People say size shouldn't matter, but I am thinking BigTrancer is on the right track (metabolism, body fat content, level of hydration, frequency of doing pills)

whoa Quarter?! i took a whole and i was relatively fine....might try a half one day :D

 

[nanobrain]

hm, great question, 2 mg/kg as per Shulgin should be sufficient for most to achieve clinical effects, for 70 kg, 140 mg is just about right for me, but then again, i'm about 7%.

other factors aside, i suppose in part this may depend on the vascularity in the fat tissues? if not, less fat / harder go would seem logical since we know that muscle tissue is well-fed in re blood supply.

the above is based on the hypothesis that not all effects are ahieved by the molecules hitting the brain per se, mayhap therere is truth to serotonin (and of course the odd-20 subtypes) receptors located elswehere, when in contact w/the desired molecule, may feedback the pleasure (as opposed to Substance P-induced pain) impulses to the cortex indirectly.

i.e. when the missus scratches me back, she aint scrathin me brain, but boy, does it feel good, nay, ecstatic #:^)

Actual weight has little to do with it, i am 5'1" 43kg and I have friends twice my weight who take pills as regularly as me but only need half as much to be at the same point. :D

I agree with BigTrancer - metabolism, frequency etc. The level of effects are also very mood dependant. I think hormones also alter the level of effects.

Im 6'3" and 116kg. Im pretty fit and a low body fat. I pop every other weekend. Always have to take a whole one followed by a half about 45-60 mins depending on the pill ( I think doubling up is stupid)

My Gf is smaller than me, but last week we rolled on some blanks and after 35 mins I was on my way but she was feeling nothing. It took a good 60mins for her. Both of us took a whole one at the same time. Later on we were equally as fucked as each other.

Usually its me standing in the corner waiting.
