I have rolled quite a few times, most of it stretched over a long time period because I've heard about how bad it is for people who have rolled every weekend for months and then stopped. These pills stick out in my mind as one of the greatest I have ever had. Before these I am reasonably sure that every pill I've taken has been MDMA or speed, but these were pure MDA pills. The guy who had these also said there was mescaline in them, but I would have to severely doubt that. They were also really nice pills, scored + time release coating, not at all like the tons of crumbly ones I see all the time. Anyways, these pills changed my opinion on favorite chemicals. LSD and mescaline were on the top of the list, with MDMA close behind. MDA has definitely taken MDMA's place.
The biggest difference I've noticed between MDA and MDMA is the lack of those empathogenic qualities MDMA has. Although I still feel more open to people it's definitely not the same. It seems as if the way that you FEEL on MDMA is what you EXPERIENCE on MDA. Also what your actually feeling (with your hand, you know, "tactile") feels even better on MDA than MDMA in my opinion. Rubbing my back against a chair was almost enough to make me pass out. Many people have claimed to get MDA and been so blown away that they don't/can't dance, but I was able to handle it. Usually I dance on MDMA too, just because I'm drawn to it, and although I was still drawn on MDA, the music seemed to have even deeper meaning.
MDA's visuals are also very impressive. I've never seen trails as long as I have on MDA, it was very strange. I usually get some minor ones on mescaline, occassionally on acid, and very often on mushrooms. When I went outside to have a cigarette (which felt SO DAMN GOOD) it was very dark and I could actually spell out my name in cursive with the lit end of the cigarette. After I drew it in the air it seemed to echo back. I didn't think there would be any full-fledge hallucinations until I layed down on the grass to enjoy my peak for about the first half hour of it. I looked up at all the stars and saw a spiderweb interconnecting all the stars around one central star. The connections between the stars dangled and moved in the air, shimmering everytime. After smoking four more cigarettes, which is very crazy for me since I go through approximately a 2 packs a month and only smoke when I'm on something else, I saw a spider crawling up on the spiderweb of stars so I decided that it would definitely be a good idea to get inside before it got angry at me (don't ask, it sounded fine at the time).
The peak lasted for almost five hours and tapered off for another four. Aftereffects were absolutely wonderful. I don't normally feel depressed or down after rolling, but this was even better than usual. I felt happy and connected to people without feeling terribly under the influence, similar to low doses of MDEA.
OK, well this is my first real typed out long trip report, I hope it helps some people understand their drugs a little more. If your interested in trying out MDA I'd recommend starting out with a small dose because it's not for everyone. I took these same pills (I know for a fact they were from the same batch and that they were 85mg a piece of pure MDA) several times, and the experience I rambled on about above was on two of them chewed up. For some of my friends one pill was too much and they couldn't handle the bodily effects (MDA is very very euphoric and comes with a big body load that I happen to enjoy). Oh yes, a final note, after taking MDA I noticed that I had really really bad gas. I don't know why that was, but it seems to be connected.
