First of all let me say this happened In November 2010, so I only have approximate time frames and I'll try to recall the events as best as possible.
My friend and I decide to attend a fairly good sized EDM concert (around 4000 people).
This is my first time ever doing anything more than smoking weed (and even then I had only smoked 8-10 times). I will also say that I do not take any medication, I'm a very happy person, and I am in no way depressed about anything.
7pm-Arrive at location. We immediately drop one decent pill (being more experienced now, I would now guess around ~70mg of MDMA). At the time I didn't know not to eat right before dropping so I had just eaten a large meal. At this point, I feel no anxiety, I'm excited, I'm ready for this to kick in.
I feel nothing for 2 hours. I attribute this to the food in my stomach.
8pm-take another of the same pill. Still feeling nothing, enjoying the music, but I always have even without drugs.
9pm-My friend and I go buy an energy drink and agree that we are upset that we may have gotten bunk pills.
9:10-Maybe 10-15 minutes later after drinking the energy drink, We are both rolling within 5 minutes of each other. I've never felt this feeling before. There is almost no come up, in a matter of 5-10 minutes I have gone from feeling nothing to eye wobbles, complete euphoria and I'm peaking. I'm rolling extremely hard for 2 hours. My friend and I walk around talking to everyone in sight, I have found a new appreciation for lights, glow sticks, menthol, and cigarettes. In my phone I write a note to myself: "This isn't a rave, but a circle of friends who haven't been introduced yet, all brought together through music."
Then the weirdest/worst moment I have ever had while rolling(and I should note that another time, I was with a girl who broke her leg dancing when we were all rolling):
11:00-I'll try and describe the feeling as best as possible, but all of a sudden the music seems to be muffled, the lights aren't a bright, people seem to be avoiding me like I have leprosy, and I feel like no one wanted me to be there. It was the worst feeling I have ever felt in my life. I tell my friend I need to leave. I want to go home, curl in a ball under my covers and hide from anyone and everyone. I need to go to sleep and I regret ever doing this.
11:05-Apparently that moment lasted only a few minutes (my friend tells me), but it felt like an hour.
Then, all of a sudden a guy I had met earlier in the night (we became very good friends after this) sees us again. My friend tells him the situation and he gives me a light show. I suddenly snap out of this terrible feeling. I think to myself: "A complete stranger has just spent time helping me out. Maybe people do want me here?" Now, I want to dance, go talk to girls, and have fun again. I feel like the sun has just come out behind stormy clouds and winter has turned into spring.
The rest of the night was fantastic, I had the time of my life. Met so many people that I'm still friends with. The night eventually came to an end about 3am. I felt relaxed at that point, had a beautiful afterglow, and went to bed easily without taking/smoking anything.
The next day, I drove 6 hours back to college. I felt like the grass was more green, music sounded more beautiful, and had a generally better appreciation for everything.
All in all, it was a beautiful experience, but those 5 minutes I will never forget for as long as I live. I have rolled several times since that night and never had a bad experience like those few short minutes.
