Back in the mid 80's, MDMA came in powdered form. I ran across the drug in Atlanta, GA from some person I picked up in a bar.
We went back to the hotel room and he took out a capsule filled witha white , crystaline powder. I asked what it was and he stated it was MDMA. He said it would make sex intense.
He poured out the powder on the table and made lines. We snorted a few lines and away we went.
He was right, it made sex intense. I understand how they eventually came up with the term "rolling". When experiencing the drug, it kept giving me the feeling of a rushing high that came and went like the tide. I told him I felt like I was on a rollercoaster.
Everything was "foggy", but pleasurable. I never heard of extacy at this point in my life, but the experience of pure MDMA snorted seemed to be much shorter than taking an oral pill (it lasted about 4 hours). I never quite had another experience like that again. It seems like a lot of the pills today have crap, fill, and cut in them.
Back in the 80's, I experienced PURE , snorted, MDMA, and will never forget the experience.
