Yes I know this sounds crazy. And it probably is...but hear me out.

My mom called me a couple months ago talking about how depressed she is. She is 49 and says she doesn't feel like she has anything left to enjoy in life. She also said she doesn't really have feelings for my dad anymore, but they would never divorce because it's against their beliefs. My parents are both very religious and conservative (dad's a sunday school teacher) and they are miserable. They believe anything that feels good is wrong and is of the "flesh", and that to be a moral person you have to deny the "flesh".

When she told me about her depression, call me crazy but I thought to myself "I really wish I could get her to try E". I thought it would really help her not only see the bright side of life but maybe reignite some sparks with my dad. This is the problem though...I'd need to get them both to take it.

My mom wouldn't be hard. She's already on anti-depressant scripts so I could just tell her I have something that would work better and she just needs to take it once. However, my dad would be difficult...and I really don't want to give it to her if he doesn't want to take it as well. It's something I think they need to take together to get a newfound appreciation of life and each other.

Anyways...yes i'm seriously talking about giving my parents E. Is this as crazy as it sounds in my head?
 
That does sound pretty crazy. Judging by your situation and the backround your parents have, i cant see this being a very good idea. Sure mom could take it and enjoy it but then you have your dad who seems to be very conservative. If he doesnt and she does that can ruin some serious shit.

Best advice would be to not do it. Maybe if there is an opportunity to bring it up and discuss it then maybe but i can't see this happening.

Alright well logistics of getting it done aside...let's say hypothetically that I was able to get them to do it.

Do you think it would be effective?
 
Expect a lot of hate on this thread...

The people on this forum will generally oppose the idea of pushing drugs on anybody. I think they don't realize when you're old and have nothing to live for, there's no reason to NOT give it a try. And honestly, if I were 50 or what not in a parallel universe and had never done MDMA. I would want me (the real me, who's done MDMA) to travel in the future and push MDMA down my throat.

So I'm all for it, if you can make sure it's pure MDMA.
 
If she is on an SSRI, she may have a diminished effect, or none at all.

I know this, but thanks....I'm going to tell her to stop taking them for a little while.

IF I decide to go through with this.

I mean I don't have much to lose except them saying no and maybe them worrying a bit about me having a drug habit....but i'm 23 and living on my own, completely financially independent so it's not like they're going to pull my college funds or ground me or something.

Telling your mother to stop taking her antidepressants so you can give her MDMA is a really bad idea. She is taking her medication for a reason.

I know exactly where you are coming from though, I had the same thoughts about my own family when I had my first experience with MDMA.
 
I REALLY want to try this as well with my mother. I feel like if I sit her down at the park or something, and we pop a molly and talk about all of the tension between us and each others problems, then we can say what we mean without running away from confrontation and putting our guards up. If you think you're mom has hit rock bottom and shes just completely down all the time I don't see why you shouldn't use one of the oldest techniques. I mean mdma WAS used for couples therapy back in the day right? So it's the same shit.

If you don't want to tell her the street name for it, Ecstasy, then tell her and your dad it's called MDMA or Methylenedioxymethamphetamine , It was used for couples therapy and depression and that it'll help you guys break barriers and communicate more. Your not lying, your just using the real and technical term without using the recreational name for it.

Just test it out if you're going to use a pressed tab instead of the real powder and you should be fine.
 
Although I wouldn't take your mom off her meds. She's better above the ground than 6 feet beneath it.
 
not sure how old your parents are but i think its pretty hard to change a middle aged persons beliefs just like that. People like to resist change, especially conservative religous types. If they have been taught that e is bad their whole lifes, I seriously doubt that they could change their opinion of the drug just like that, especially if you gave it to them without telling them first. Just my 2 cents.

My parents live under a rock. I don't even think they know what ecstasy is. I did tell my dad about my whole experience my first time (long story) so he knows its a recreational drug but i'd be willing to bet my mom doesn't even know about it.

My mom smoked some weed in her younger days, and i'm sure she'd be open to it if I recommended it to her; she trusts me. My dad however would see it as giving into "carnal desire" and he only needs his relationship with God to be happy...or so he's told himself.

Who knows, maybe i'll just roll with my mom and have a heart to heart with her. Once she realizes how incredible it is maybe she'll get my dad on board and a few months later I could get them both another dose.
 
Your mother has enough problems. Why are you trying to introduce an addictive substance into the equation? What if the E use leads to more serious substance abuse? E is not going to solve your mother's/father's problems. When does the use stop? Are they going to use the drug forever? Addiction is very serious. You never know what using E may lead to for them. I happen to agree with your father's outlook. I would rather be blahh sober than happy high. It's artificial.

...And to answer your question, yes it is crazy.
 
Bad idea, to the people saying i say do it ( they aren't really thinking it through). Sure she will have an enjoyable experience but what comes after is going to bring her down worse than what she was before. Depression will OBVIOUSLY be increased when she is recovering from the mdma experience. It's chemistry, the chemicals which make you feel content and happy are vacant after the use of mdma until they slowly regenerate. Also how do you know she will hold on to the things she may have 'learned' during her roll. What if it introduces real anxiety into her life as it does many other people, and as the person above said what if she wants to make routine of this.
 
A few things for you to consider.

1. Her anti depressant medication may prevent her from rolling at all and even if she stopped which is a really bad idea as that can cause all sorts of problems (I know from first hand experience) depending on which Anti depressant she uses stopping may not enable her to roll anyways as some, specially ssris can make permanent changes to the chemistry in the brain as can be attested to by plenty of our posters over the years who still cant roll 6 months or even a year afterwards.

2. Some anti depressants can be deadly when mixed with mdma specially MDAOs.

3. Stopping using anti depressant medication in order to use mdma, a drug that is generally accepted can cause depression may in fact have the opposite affect in the ensueing days and create major problems. Enough people post here about problems who dont even use anti depressants but someone who is already medsicated for depression well that could spell disaster.

4. If you are entertaining thoughts of not telling them and just spiking drinks or whatever then think again. In most countries that is an offence punishable by a severe prison term or worse if your actions cause an unforseen problem.




In general I am in favour of the idea of older people trying mdma provided they are in good health but in your case I dont think it is likely to have a good ending.





Apart from that if they cant even have sex because its against the church rules or whatever then there is no chance they would entertain the concept of an illegal drug.

Just by way of education. MDMA is not an considered an addictive substance. However that doesnt mean that people dont "want" to try it again...........its just that its not classed as an addictive drug in the same way smoking or heroin or marijuana for eg is.
