I'm going to hijack this thread slightly if I can and ask a related question... what's the best way to keep the buzz going if you have an event you want to stay high for 6-7 hours? Would it be better to start with a decent dose and top up a couple hours in, or just munch halves every hour or so? Not wanting to be hugely fucked just nicely buzzing and not coming down early.
This is a very good question but one that has been debated for a very long time. So ill break it down to the simple truths about MDMA and wanted to ROLL/MUNT for a long time.
- The Brain Only Has A Limited Amount Of Serotonin
- MDMA releases this (serotonin)
- Then there is none left if you release enough
Now this is a very over simplified picture of the mechanics of taking MDMA, but it is truthful enough to answer your question. So then the question is, how to do I release the serotonin in a way so I roll for say 6-7 hours. The answer for me, you can not.
A lot of people will agree with me, that you can not roll for greater than 4>5hours, after that you can redose but you'll just be munted and not really loved up or full of empathy, just munted. As there will be not enough seratonin left in the brain to be released by the MDMA so you just get this speedy/munted feeling, not the best effect when you can wait 8 weeks for it to be back, and roll hard again. So when you take mdma, the seratonum gets realised as a function of the amount of MDMA ingested, after you take enough MDMA (or redoses) there is none left for it to be effective in giving you the feeling you want.
For me, the last time I would redose would be at the 3 or 4 hour point, after that your wasting your money. As there is no seratonin left to make use of, you will feel worse the next day, save your pills for another time.
My advice is this. Take some, wait an hr take some more, wait till your coming of the peak from the second dose, probs at about 2.5 hr mark, then dose again, then maybe rail some more a bit later... then call it night.
this will make the most bang for buck, and you want be wasting money just to feel munted, not loved up.
Goodluck trying to roll for 6/7 hrs, I see many people making this mistake at festivals, see them rolling at like 1pm in the arvo and the festival goes till 10... id rather get on it at about 6, and roll hard till the end.
Hope this helps... and again, just a generalisation, jump on the ecstasy directory
