How do you know when you've taken real MDMA?

You know you've taken real MDMA when your face looks like my avatar.

OP...sounds like you either haven't gotten mdma or taken enough if you did because there is absolutely no mistake about it when it hits you. I'd guess you've been getting shit pills or powder cause it's plentiful.

I've done just about every drug under the sun and, while lsd, shrooms, mesc, etc. hit me in a way that i'm definitely "fucked up," nothing has ever hit me as hard as that first hit of mdma. I was so happy I almost started crying, so I really doubt you're getting good shit, which isn't your fault cause it gets soaked up quickly when it's around.

Signs you've got mdma:

1. eye wiggles/stutter vision
2. EXTREME euphoria
3. openess in conversation...shit's coming out of your mouth that would NEVER otherwise
4. skin sensitivity...messages feel fuckin amazing
5. empathy

Keep trying cause when you get it, it will be more than worth the effort.

thats completely untrue. if i dont want to say something, im not gonna say it. sober or not. now if it is something you want to say but dont have the courage to, then yea you might end up spilling it.

and..... i think that if you are posting on this worrying about if you got real pills or not, you aren't gonna have a good roll. just go with it, no one can tell you exactly what's gonna happen to YOU

The thing I like about MDMA is that unlike some other drugs you ARE still in complete control. On the way to the club while coming up I messaged a friend of mine I had gone off at a couple days before, but I didn't want to apologize, I just said that i did it because I cared about her etc. etc. Really that was largely a crock of shit, but she is handy to have in my life for access to certain things so I'd like to keep her around, despite really not liking her anymore. It makes you happy and loving and all, but it doesn't take away who you are or your thoughts - When my friend told us about how his girlfriend was worried about him going out that night and had asked him to please not come home and hit her, I was legitimately saddened and wanted to give her a big hug (previous abusive relationship), so it's not that the empathy wasn't there, it's just that if it's a person I don't particularly like sober then I'm not going to like her high either.

If it's something you DO want to say though then yeah, you might very well end up saying it, but generally you want to tell the truth more often than not is all.

and..... i think that if you are posting on this worrying about if you got real pills or not, you aren't gonna have a good roll. just go with it, no one can tell you exactly what's gonna happen to YOU

This is a good point too, mindset does definitely make a difference. A big part of the experience is just relaxing and letting go, if you're worrying about them being bunk pills then you're not going to be able to do that.

Also, regarding the thread topic:

You know it's real E when while looking out the car window to your destination everything starts to look interesting and vivid and just amazing as you come up, without hallucinating at all. When while listening to the music your foot starts to keep time with the beat and it just sounds so good, despite sounding just the same as it always does. Whatever you're doing is just like normal, except it's new and exciting and better in almost every way. You know it's E when after getting ridiculously hot and sweaty on the dancefloor you go up to the big thing of ice, pull some out and start rubbing it over yourself - and it's the best thing ever. And then once you've cooled down a bit you want to go right back down and keep dancing.

And whenever you're not doing any of those things you're just having completely open conversations with your friends, and everything is just great.

[Note this is accurate for an experience without the other sex being involved, one of our sober friends had his mormon girlfriend there, who while sober was INCREDIBLY cute and seemed to really having a good time despite not being on anything, other than that there wasn't any large amount of estrogen].

And you know it's E when you get a text from your friend offering to trade you Acid for some of your E the next day, and you agree to trade 40 tabs for 25 hits. And once the tylenol kicks in from how sore you are in the morning you just have a beautiful day.

You know,

When you feel lightheaded, floaty, clammy and warm. The seed you planted in your stomach is starting to grow... but it grows from the extremities, you get tingly feet and legs, your jaw starts to tighten slightly so you pick out the first bit of chewing gum. It tastes amazing, suddenly the lights look so much better, yet they haven't changed much, but you can't help but stand in awe at the sheer awesomeness of them...

Then you get the rushes, of energy just flowing through your body. Your eyes start wiggling, you need another 2 peices of gum to try and keep your jaw from hitting your eyebrows. Then smack, you're in heaven. The only thing you can do now is dance to that filthy dubstep the dj is blasting out, dancing through the lasers and smoke, occasionally chatting and hugging the other guy rolling face...

You'll know.

That's not how I meant for that to be interpreted, so sorry if it came across that way. I was trying to highlight something that would help OP know they got e, and I would still say that e is the only drug that compels you to open up and discuss personal things you otherwise wouldn't. Not that certain things don't come out of your mouth on other drugs that wouldn't normally, but if you've gotten real mdma, you know what I mean.

Ok so apparantly MDMA affects are highly universal, so this will be somewhat helpful. With acid and shrooms basically, you know it's working because it's obvious Usually the problem is it works too well and it's too intense at times. But the 4x tried MDMA, it was nice and fun and kind of trippy, but never felt "f'ed up", less f'ed up than smoking a J to be honest. Is it really obvious when you take real MDMA, much like it's obvious when you are on shrooms or on lsd? Like on a scale of how f'ed up a drug makes you, i'd make pot a 3, liquor a 5, shrooms/lsd are a 7/8, and i'd rate my 4x with "mdma" around a 1.5.-2. Should I be thinking it's a 10 is what I'm wondering lol?

I got a test kit but i'm almost ready to say "f it" to MDMA because it's always DXM or amphetamines, and i have been lucky enough to try other awesome things (verified LSD, shroomies), and this just seems like such a damn hassle to be dissapointed each time the test kit comes out. Dunno really

If anyone is curious, so far tried a few different Molly capsules (clear caps w/ crystaly powder), and a blue butterfly roll, and light red scorpion roll, in FL region. I think one of those times w/ molly may have been real because it was at a festie and my old fart friend who's been around had his kit and it was his first positive ID in the 3 months he had owned the kit. But I just group that time with all the others, most have them may or may not have been MDMA, but the two rolls are DEF NOT because I got a testing kit when I had them, but didn't with the molly.

Also I retested and retested and really learned how to see the colors better. Both of these rolls showed bright green on the Marquis immediately no fizzing. On the Mecke, dark green, which later changed to red/brown a full 30 minutes later Dunno wtf these rolls are but I'm guessing some kind of research chemical? Not all that upset anymore though seems like these can be fun for a rave too?

Edit - since they got a clear/no color change on the Simons, seems like it's MDPV, uh oh! Probably shouldn't take them if that's the case

Individuals differ...nobody can tell you exactly on generalizations

 

[Zeknichov]

First time you do real mdma it goes something like this...

An hour after ingesting the mdma you'll feel different but not quite sure and you'll begin doubting its effects. You'll think it's not doing anything, that whatever you got must have been junk or you didn't do enough. Soon after that thought you'll start to feel something, in fact you might just stop and go "whoa". You'll start to think this is going to feel good and you will be excited. This is the build up.

As the drug is building up you'll continue to feel really good and then bam it will hit you all of a sudden. You'll be so happy, all societal barriers gone, you'll be open with everything, you'll feel love like you never thought possible, lights will look amazing, everything will send shivers down your spine to touch, the music will sound orgasmic and you'll have wide eyes like a kid at a candy store. You're feeling life like you never before thought possible because you never knew there could be so much joy in life. You'll be open with everyone and any sort of anxiety problems or self-image problems you have will be gone. You'll be amazed at how you feel because you feel so happy, so at peace with everyone and everything. It is like the world is reborn in your eyes the way it's meant to be scene without boundaries, without borders and without societal constraints.

You will know the true meaning of ECSTASY.

MDMA is basically the same for everyone. It's not the individual experience that differs but the actual drug that differs. Pure mdma is pretty much gone and I doubt anyone will ever see it again but if you do see it you'll know because you'll experience exactly what I just described.

 

[citizen cained]

in a way you can ''feel it'' but the easier way to tell is just to look at any light or maybe your cell phone, and try to focus on it (reading a text or something of that nature), and you'll notice your eyes wiggling, damn i love that feeling

try ordering train tickets on eye wiggles haha had to get my mate to do it i couldn't focus on anything lol

 

[citizen cained]

Just don't take a pill in UK they're all shite and people can't see it.
Bring back the 80's pills NOW!!!!!!

i have never had a pill in my life, mdma crystals all the way for me, haven't got a bad batch of them yet (touch wood)

 

[HardpL8]

I've taken various psychedelic substances in my time and am more of the mellowed out personality type I'd say.
Any way, I got what a few people are telling me is good Molly and Ive snorted about a point (tenth of a G.) and all I feel is like I'm "geeked" out on speed. I don't feel like I did before when taken good quality ecstasy pills. I don't feel all peaceful & happy & feelings, etc.

 

[Sammy dog]

I'm all with ya there. I am completely missing the 80's pills. The crap they try to pass off for MDMA these days and for at least the past 15 is a joke. It all went down hill once molly came on the scene and it was so cost effective and easy to rip people off, especially those of us who grew up in seventies, trusted people, got good drugs in the 80's like acid and MDMA that is now just chemical bull**** that people mix up wherever and don't care in the least bit about ripping off people's money and much less doing them some serious physical and psychological damage perhaps due to the crazy effects of these chemicals. I mean yeah, the pot is so great, why can't we just get back to good business in which you make the customer happy and high like he/she should be, not in the hospital because of some crazy chemical compound you freaking threw together. Jesus, people, get real and get knowledgeable. Buy test kits for MDMA. Know if you're snorting meth. If you think 25 bucks is expensive for 15 tests of MDMA, think about how expensive it is when you and 5 of your friends get bunk MDMA. It blows. Not only are you out money, you completely bummed, pissed off and your night is ruined. Or worse, you're snorting meth, up all night like I was the other night after trying out rock molly, which I had never seen before, but let myself be convinced by a 24 year old that he was really enjoying his trip he had been on since the night prior. This was like 24 hours later that he was still "tripping" and couldn't drive For me to stay up 24 hrs. on E and be like he was, I would have had to take at least a 1/2 gram of molly if not a whole gram. He was wide awake and could barely get two words out of his mouth. I kept harking back to the times i had done to much pure Colombian or Peruvian yayo while living in Chile and Nicaragua. I mean the stuff is at least 90% pure and costs, now, 20 bucks a gram if you don't know someone. You could just do it and do it for days on end chasing that initial euphoria that kinda mimics a lose dose of MDMA. You want to chat and you like everyone, but not love. and it only lasts 10-15 minutes at most. And it can never be replicated after that first one But good MDMA at a low dose leaves you like that for a few hours. So, what the gist of this is, based on posts I've read about people asking what real MDMA feels like...let me just tell you. You don't need to ask what it feels like if you've had the real deal. It's like nothing you have ever experienced and you will want to be in that state for the rest of your life. It is peace, joy, love, ease, no stress, living in the present, feeling so positive about everything and everyone, to a point of danger, you might find yourself in a precarious and/ or dangerous situation for lack of inhibition, and at the lower end of the spectrum, wondering, when you wake up in bed next to some guy or girl who you find somewhat repulsive, how you possibly could have slept with him/ her? It's because your distorted vision created by the hallucinogenic effects of MDMA made them look like a model and probably seem like your true soul mate when you met them rolling your ass off. And the dog, well, he has had a really crappy life and you can fix it, despite the fact you don't have much money t eat, can't afford a vet and live in a dorm or an apartment that doesn't allow animals, diseased or not. If you're asking if you took MDMA, you didn't. There's just no question. Like I said, you will never have experienced such euphoria and contentment in your life. And you probably could have or did drink a case of beer or 20 cocktails in a night, hopefully also chugging gallons of water. You are a wonderful person and you don't understand how you could have ever doubted or criticized yourself. You realize beauty lives and breathes in every niche of the earth, in every human, whether it be the guy on the street begging money for drugs who has no teeth and spits at you or a mangy dog on the road. (Which you of course stop and put in the car despite being covered in fleas and a multitude of skin diseases.) Each being is beautiful in its own way and has characteristics to be respected. You feel such empathy for the man who spits in your face you want to say to him, "it's ok, I understand." "You can spit in my face again. I deserve it for being happy and having enough money to take molly or whatever form of MDMA. And that's it, kids of this generation. That's how you know it's MDMA. You will be depressed as all hell coming down and the next day. Suggest you have a lot of pot around to get you through and the wherewithal to know that your brain has just pumped out all the serotonin is has for the next 3 days and you gotta suck it up. And suggest you give that dog a bath and get him cleaned up well and hide him till you get some blow and come up with an ingenious plan, or find him a ride down to the SPCA for a real owner who has a job and doesn't do MDMA on a regular basis. Hope you young people out there wizen up! BUY THE TESTS. 20 bucks on Amazon. There is one that just tests if you got MDMA, but doesn't tell you purity. Unfortunately, to get the real deep down profile, it's 4 tests. But if you can only afford one buy the Marquis Reagent test that will tell you if it is MDMA and not meth or bath salts. The purity one is the next step. Again, probably worth you and your buds going 5 bucks in on one to get 10 tests and find out how good it is. Beat the bunk dealers. They are A**** and need to be stopped. And only the consumer can do it! Take back your high!!

Obviously scams can't be stopped because all the cathinones are much cheaper to synthesize and the starting materials much easier to obtain even if they got banned, so if a bunk dealer can pass them off as MDMA why on Earth he would not if their only interest is to make as much money as possible with the least effort. If the market is flooded with cathinones and other crap that can be combined to provide effects good enough to convince customers who have never taken MDMA that they actually are taking MDMA, there is no way you could get MDMA easily without trusted contacts, too big of an opportunity for scammers to make huge money. If someone wants to take cathinones, let them if that's what they really want, but scams make me mad as hell too. A few cathinones might be fun at times, but they're nothing like MDMA, I had my share of cathinone usage, but I doubt I'd ever feel like taking any again, MDMA on the other hand would be great on a special occasion.

 

[Sammy dog]

Of course the dealer is going to make as much money as opportunity allows. I am just tying to say, it costs very little to buy a test kit and at least be aware of what you ingest in your body and make that choice. It the consumer doesn't do what he can in a bad situation, i.e.. has no legal leg to stand on if he's/she's ripped off, or potentially subjective themselves to some really dangerous chemicals. why not spend the money for the test and be done with it? I mean, at some point, if just about everyone is telling a dealer, "I want to test it first", then there is no market, which shuts down their business. It's that simple. Either provide a quality product or no one buys. Isn't that how capitalism works, no matter if you're a street dealer or a wall street broker? If the customer ain't buying their shit, then it's no longer profitable and someone will have to figure out how to get it to the customer or stop selling meth as MDMA It's pretty simple. Be a proactive consumer and help clean up bad business for you and the rest of your kindred spirits, and demand some quality It's a no brainer. Really. And I don't know that I've ever taken cathinone, but sounds like I'll pass. Oh yeah, and if you're good with cathinone, great. But at least know that's what you're buying. And if you're into meth, why not know what your buying is legit? Just saying, if a lot of people out there just banded together to make a common statement, it would be fantastic and get out the evil undercurrent that always prevails at these festivals these days. It's your choice... do the wise thing and know what you're getting. For your peace of mind and to help put an end to the bunk dealers little by little. What a great day that would be when you could go to a show and know what you're buying is legit. It's been so long...why have people changed so much that they don't see the potential of making a difference in the world by engaging in a simple task. Buy a test kit!! Again, happy to hear how this little step we could take as consumers could really change the story for charlatans world-wide. What other effective option is there?
