How trippy is MDA actually...

For this upcoming concert, the Freaknight halloween party in Seattle. I have the choice of MDA, MDMA, or both. Both at extreme purity.

This show would be at a very large venue, heavy and very loud electronic music all night long. Dark, but with an intense amount of lights. Probably pretty crowded.

I have been to shows like this before, but never one at this scale on MDMA or MDA.

I have had MDMA a handful of times, and know I could handle it.

But I now have the option of MDA, which I hear is "more stimulating, more psychedelic". I have friends who have claimed they were actually "tripping balls" while they were on it.

I have tried mushrooms 4 times, LSD once, salvia 3 times, and a few other oddball psychs. My LSD experience was flawless and awesome. Although I can imagine LSD at a rave this large could be too much for me, and would certainly hesitate before taking it. And you could not pay me to ingest mushrooms in a dark place with more than 2 other people, I go to a bad place with them too easily.

I say all this, because I want to get an idea of how trippy MDA actually is... I have googled and researched but have not gotten a good idea whereas with things like mushrooms and LSD reading you can kind of get an idea.

Would it be at all possible to have a very, bad trip on MDA? While I know it's possible to have shit times on all drugs, but would it be incredibly unwise to try MDA for my first time at such a large scale event? If the mental high is anything like MDMA I can handle it, and if the visuals are (For some reason I'm imagining LSA-like hallucinations) are mellow and simply some colorful patterns, that's totally fine.

But is your average dose of MDA at all comparable to an actual psychedelic like LSD or mushrooms? If so I won't be taking it, but I keep getting the vibe when people describe it they are directly comparing it to MDMA and are saying it is trippy relative to MDMA. And not really saying HOW much of a trip it is.

I'm guessing you're all gonna say something along the lines of, if you've never tried it, trying it at something like this for the first time is unwise. But I thought I'd ask anyways as my curiosity is starting to get the better of me.

So, in summary, not relative to MDMA, how much of a true psych/trip is MDA, at your average dose.

Hell, I know mixing drugs is warned against in most scenarios. Could I take primarily MDMA and mix in a slight amount of MDA?
 
I did 125mg MDA and 125mg MDA, the day before I also did 120mg MDMA. I found this way to overwhelming and was fully floored for an hour and a half, the afterglow was amazing though.
 
Read my trip report and you tell me. ;)

Huge fan of that trip report. Second time ive been through it.

IME, mda has some nice visual distortions and crystallizations of light, excellent tracers... a bit less empathy... It always makes me feeling stimulated but floored, not dancey like mdma makes me... the connection to the music for me is slightly less pronounced.. Ive heard others describe it as a more "raw" roll than MDMA. I think it would be ideal to mix it with MDMA for an event:)

The visuals/mind space are nothing like a high dose of shrooms or L... No melting, no ego loss. Ive been to confused/frustrating/weird places on shrooms, and weird places on L, but i could never picture being in a bad place on MDA or MDA/MDMA combo.

Faced with your dilemma snow I would opt for 120mG MDMA and about 20-40mG MDA. With the MDA start low and work up cause its a lot stronger. You want the MDMA to dominate the feeling aspect of the trip and the MDA to add a little energy and mild visual.

MDA on its own gives me strobe vision and is exactly how your friends describe tripping balls. I dont like it so much.

Mixed with MDMA it will extend the trip and if you get the dose right it adds this kind of balls to the wall experience. A lot of fun and very intense.

Have a look at some of the combo pills usually the MDA content is a lot lower. This is for the same reason described.

Hm... Alright. I'll just add a tiny bit of MDA, not sure how I'm gonna eyeball that sort of dose w/o a proper scale unless i know what i'm starting with and roughly divide it all up.
 
How exactly do you know what it is and the purity of it? This situation seems very unlikely even with a proper test kit to know whether or not it is extremely pure. (unless you made it yourself)
 
I completely disagree there lol... I take like 90mg of MDA for it's full effects, and 30-50mg of MDMA too add that extra bit of empathy that MDA doesn't have

Op sais this:

Would it be at all possible to have a very, bad trip on MDA? While I know it's possible to have shit times on all drugs, but would it be incredibly unwise to try MDA for my first time at such a large scale event? If the mental high is anything like MDMA I can handle it, and if the visuals are (For some reason I'm imagining LSA-like hallucinations) are mellow and simply some colorful patterns, that's totally fine.

I would still stand by the advice to keep the MDA way beneath the MDMA. Snow has never had MDA before. You will feel it at those lower doses. Much better to work up than be on a too intense trip in the middle of a rave.

If 40mG is not enough you could always add another 20mg and just keep working up. Much safer this way for a new drug particularly a mix like this.
 
I don't think you could have a bad trip on MDA unless took too much and are scared of heart rate or over stimulated. The substance releases massive amounts of dopamine and serotonin, so it will be all good vibes. Plus if you see costumes and shit they will look more realistic and all of that stuff will be more fun to be around. Do half and half of mdma and mda imo
 
MDA is notttt trippy like other hallucinogens, ive taken .2 of pure MDA shard, and i was absolutely floored, but never did I have hallucinations of tryptamine nature...the only visuals i got was pretty much from my eyes shaking so fast objects would look extremely blurry. On the come down though you get some colors in your vision sort of like youre pressing on your eye, but nothing that could cause a bad trip like LSD or boomers. Youll have grand time on either but Id say take a low-medium dose of both.
 
I've only ever done MDA with LSD, so it's hard for me to totally isolate the MDA experience. It made the acid hallucinations different from the norm. Everything was brighter (but not in an offensive way) and more aural. It felt like sound had a bigger influence onthe hallucination. The MDA was also *very* heart-centred, way more than MDMA in my opinion, so it made the hallucinations feel like a sort of divinity was all around me.

The last time I did this combo I was at an outdoor music festival during a really amazing set. The LSD made the environment deconstruct and merge; and the MDA make it feel like I was lovingly connected with every single thing around me.

I would do this combination again in a heartbeat, but MDA is hard to find in these parts. :(
