Is MDMA good for being on stage?

only if you are planning on diving off into a sea of fingers...other than that I would expect it would inhibit you from performing to the best of your ability

I appreciate the answer. For some reason I felt it'd make the beat and me connect and lower any anxiety levels
 
As a matter of fact the keys player in my band would occasionally drop a pill before a show and he loved it. He felt that it made him incredibly adventurous and creative with no anxiety to explore while at the same time keeping him focused so that he wouldn't go outside of his own talent. He played fantastically on it.
 
Hmm... I don't think you should roll the first time, or at least not a full dose. Maybe take like half your normal dose just to feel more comfortable, but not so that your full on rolling. That may not go well :)

You shouldn't have to use drugs for performance if you truly love what your doing.

You either enjoy it or you dont... The last thing you want is to lose your artistic inspiration down the road because of drug related cognitive defects.

Advice taken. I'll be sober on stage (hell, I should experience my first time on stage with a sober mind anyway) and pop a capsule of molly after I get off stage. It's a 420 show and I'm hearing word that the venue will be very lenient towards smokers.

Good plan bro!

After you tear it up on stage sober, you will feel so rushed and confident in yourself that you will have a great roll later on.

The problem with "rolling" to DJ or Rap or using Cocaine for drumming, rocking, is that once you come off of all of it none of it feels real. Its the same thing with people that paint on mushrooms or LSD...

Your artform or craft will become dependent on the drug use that accompanies it...you will never feel that you have done your greatest work if you have to feel high to get there while doing it.

Take pride in being able to kick ass at what you do in a fully sober state of mind....the high from this is better.


(Use the drugs on the tour bus with groupies or up in the VIP section of the afterparty if you must)

Good luck dude!!

Well then smoke a J! Unless you get crazy when your high like I do, then don't.

I always think I can hear people touching me when I smoke weed 0.o
 
There's a drug called propranolol that might help you. It blocks up the adrenaline parts of your brain, so you get a lot less stage fright, lots of performers use it so it's probably pretty reliable.

MDMA would help too, it would definitely make you more energetic and into it, it'd definitely be a lot of fun too.

"It not feeling real" afterword actually sounds really interesting, once I have more experience I'll look forward to getting a buzz before a shower but my first time on stage I guess I'll be sort of making my template, eventually I'll have the experience to build upon this and experiment. I've been looking forward to and preparing for this show for some time now so once I do this I'll feel a lot of weight taken off my shoulders just because of all the anticipation. I'll be free, to move on to planning my next shows as I record more towards my second album.

I'd need a lot more experience to be able to do it high, being high usually makes me come off as anti-social because I just stop caring. I use to be really social while I was high but this was only a short period of time

That's what I was thinking, it'd be fun and I'd feel a deeper level of connection to the music but I'll just give it all I got on a sober mind, put my heart into it. Pop it while I'm on stage so it kicks in when I get off stage and mix in with the crowd, from there it'll hopefully be all kissing hands and shaking babies,
 
Well, half a dose would be good for anxiety, make you feel relaxed and happy, but you should be sober your first time. Unless you have a REALLY bad case of stage fright and want to vomit or something, then I'm sure there are probably some sort of non MDMA drugs you can take for anxiety.

I'll handle it. I'll prolly feel like I have a knot in my stomach for a second but I'll get through it and be proud that I did. I wanna avoid re-dosing so instead of a half dose before the stage I'll take a 300 MG dose towards the end of the performance. My ex-girlfriend wanted to introduce me to cocaine for the first time I get on stage but I think I'm gonna leave her out of the night because she's the only factor that could potentially result in a big argument and my night being ruined (I don't want the people staying with me that night to be forced to be subjected to her bs)
 
Adderall would be good. It would help you focus, give you energy, make you get into the music more and lessen your anxiety.
MDMA might be good but it would be bad if you were coming up on stage because of the jitters and uneasy stomach a lot of people get while coming up. You also might be a little too carefree
 
I have never tried playing while on MDMA, but sounds like it could be fun even if its just for a jam session. I've only had alcohol before/while on stage. I'd just get a buzz, rarely drunk since its hard to play lead guitar in a metal band if you are hammered. Once my band got more technical and our songs were harder to play, we decided to stay sober for our set. It was really wierd playing sober for the first time, I wasn't as free and loose, but I eventually got over it.

Is putting 300 MG in a capsule too much for a club/show setting

Man... I would suggest you make either two 150 mg caps or a 200mg cap and then a 100 mg cap. Then do your initial dose and follow it up an hour or so later.

300 mg is a hefty dose to down in one go, especially for an active club setting where people will be wanting to talk to you after you perform. You don't wanna be floored and droolin' in a corner whilst folk wanna chit chat with you!



Back to your initial topic: while I don't regularly perform on stage musically (I have played guitar/sang infront of a few largeish crowds in the past), I have been infront of large crowds pursuing my hobby (MMA fighting). So I can understand the stage fright and anxiety.

The simple fact of the matter is: if you just suck it up and get out there, after a few seconds of "oh crap" you'll start doing your thing and get into your groove and you won't have a worry in the world!

Whilst some MDMA before your set would definately kill any anxiety and probably get you (artificially) into the music.... I'd be worried about potentially getting .... lost? in the high. I know that sometimes when I'm rolling (even slightly) I just start rambling and lose my train of thought at times... That would SUCK for that to happen on stage.

So, as most have said: my vote is to do it sober. Then drop your MDMA afterwards and party it up!
