Culture vs. Addiction

its.euphoric said:
interesting thread... I personally think the culture is the best (big) thing that's happened from illicit drugs.. plur, and what the moto of raving is, is truly beautiful.

I don't think there's anything wrong with it

I have to agree, the culture stemmed from mdma but has evolved to a much bigger thing to what seems like alot of people.



I notice thinking about raves/hearing tracks makes my hair stand on end and my head tingle as well as eyes well up. Not to cry just well up. I cant help but just start dancing wen this happens, does anyone else get this?
 
socalthizn i didnt read the responses so sorry Im at work and dont have time but come on its yo boy so read my reply.

A. it sounds like u were drunk or something when you wrote that, if not then im trippin, and its all irrelevent anyway haha

B. Dude I feel very similar. We are somewhat psychologically addicted lets just admit it, and accept the term for what it is. Not DEPENDENT, but yes, we cant get enough of it. We limit it because we are smarter then the average, and know anything past moderation is devestation, but still we think about it every day, post on BLUELIGHT, and I know u personally practically live on e discussion board and PR.

Its just something really really good dude. Not one day has passed since EDC that I havent thought about it, night and day, i mean everything, the people, the music, the lights, rolling, everything man. I soak it up.

To wrap it up tho, it really DOESNT bother me. Like u said bro, we HAVE normal lives. Go about ur business, have fun with other things when you can, and like a birthday or like christmas as a kid, keep that next event on the calendar marked up and ready to go.

Wel said alldaykk, wasnt a drunken post, lots of typos cuz i use my phone and touch key pad sucks lol. Do u ever get goosebums from certain tracks or am i just special eddy?
 
I'm liking this thread a lot. I started listening to dance music about 4 years ago, way before I ever rolled, I didn't roll the first time till last november, got peerpressured too lol, all i did was drink before that. That night changed my life, there's no way I'd be the same person today if I had never tried it. This year I've rolled 7 times, once in march, a month later in april, 3 weeks later in april, 2 weeks later in may, a month later at a massive 2 weeks later to see my fav djs, and 3 weeks after that which was a few weeks ago. Biggest lesson I have taken with me is, to respect this drug, if you don't you can run into some real problems. Tolerance is still good, just 2 pills or .2 molly and i'm set for 7-8 hours, rollin hard everytime.One thing I realized is the more often I did it, the less I enjoyed those nights, the ones that stick out in my memory are the ones that were a month plus spaced out. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about it, I'm not doing it again for a few months but I still think about it constantly. I put my trance or edm on and i start jamming out just feeling the music, I go to raves and clubs sober at times and still just feel the music and love getting down. I think psychologically I have for sure become dependent on it, I'm fighting the urge to just take a break the next for the next 2 months just for my mental stability. I just love the scene and edm even more than i did before, I've gotten into different genres I would have thought were weird before rolling, but my musical taste has expanded. I'm always looking forward to the next party, it's funny how life works, would have never imagined I'd be this person today, I like him a lot more than the old me, I feel i have a much better understanding of life and people than i did before

thanks for sharing your experience here, i was at where u were about 10 months ago, and once i spaced it like 75 days and popped again i was floored off one pill and just sat there like omg this is y they allways say space em out, and since then i've been praticing safe spacing. i have a feeling once u have an experience like i did (being absolutly blown away all over again) spacing will be much easier. you'll know alright i could pop right now, but if i wat another month it'll be better.
 
I love trance, I love sex, I love mdma. And MASSIVE EVENTS *ULTRA* I'm not a Raver tho.

I love and respect mdma, and my best moments have been with no music, no lights ,no nothing . Just me my hubby and 4 real clean beans. .. talking , touching, and opening up to each other . A true mdma Therapy session . the only time you'll really be able to experience the drug
 
I'm a raver. I usually go to two to three raves a month, because that's all my nearly-broke-college-student self can afford. I love rave culture. I wish I could roll at every rave, but we know that's a bad idea. I'm psychologically addicted to the culture, not the drug. After a full week of work or school all I want to do is go to a rave, dance, hang out with awesome people, and maybe take some drugs.

Rolling solo can be alot of fun, about a year ago i ate pills from sun up to sundown by myself, i had my head phones on making the most insane kadi cuff, probably used like 4500+ beads and the whole time i was crosseyed as fuck. The best rolls are just + someone u care about so u can connect on levels like never before but im a changed roller now and i dont know if i could ever roll without my girl or even not at a rave personally. But i do suggest 1solo roll, i connected with myself on a whole diff level than ever before. I understood myself, sorted out my issues. Amazing but only once or twice aftee that its like fuck i wanna meet some peeps!! Lol
 
I don't think being preoccupied with the thought of rolling would qualify as an addiction. To me an addiction requires action, such as rolling alot more than you know you should or to the point where it affects the rest of your life in a negative way.

If you manage to space out your rolls like you should and practice good harm reduction, then you're probably good to go!

BTW, a couple of months ago I rolled for the first time in almost 4 years, and since I haven't stopped thinking about it. I can't wait for the next time!!!
 
I just saw your thread here for the first time! Damn, sounds a lot like me! Some people may call that mental addiction, others not. It really doesn't matter what it's called though, as long as it's not messing with your life, or making everything seem dull when you're not doing it or things involving it, then IMO it's not a problem. If you're heavily craving every day then that could be a problem.... but I personally can sit on pills as long as I want, even though I think about thizzing every day, go on here every day(mostly OD though), and check PR and ED every day.
I'm addicted to sports(not in to team sports anymore). They are seasonal. I notice durring the seasons of my favorite sports I think way more about them than drugs. I recommend you try to find something else you enjoy.. I'm not saying drop rolling or anything, just ADD something to the list of things you like, it makes your life extra enjoyable. You're in SoCal, so surfing would be a good one if you're into that stuff! The better you get the better you'll like it, learning for some people takes some time but once you start to get it it'll get addictive, in a good way.
 
i feel ya, i used to roll 3-3 times a week, between 4 and 1é ills depending on quality, or 1 gram of MDMA, that kindof fucked wth my brain, now i only use once evry 3 months and i'll do Max 1/2 gram for an all night rave....

i was "lucky" because i changed country and ills are crap here and **mdma is too expensive, i'd rather ge 3-4 grams of mephedrone, o 2 grams of 4-FMP

We sound very similar bro, i participate in a few sports, well if u wanna call sports but i do, i play 420 football which is holding in bong rips for aa long as u can and each second countd as a yard you move you piece down field, theres tons of rules u can google it, im on a team in the official league. Tatted my teams logo on me hahaha! I also glove, its rave associated but i find it fun, i practice everyday, im at the point i can go for like 20+ minutes if i wanted. I dont find the cultures getting in the way of my life and if i did i would take care of it. Reason i made this thread was just to see if i was the only one so submerged but it looks lile im not. My area has few ravers as i live in richy rich land. I am baked and on ramble. Signing off haha!
 
I think you have a healthy addiction to the culture. Having fun at raves, hanging out with ravers, thinking about your past and future experiences is what you define as fun and theres nothing wrong with that. It is just the fact that to most people outside the culture view it as a drug infested demonic thing that they say bad things that you are addicted to it. It would be the same as someone who is deeply emerged into video games that loves to play it. As long as the drug itself ecstasy isn't controlling your life and influencing you into making bad decisions there is nothing wrong with submerging yourself into the rave culture.
