(MDMA/300mg) First Time: "Sheer Ecstasy"

Just a backdrop to the experience: Went to DEMF (detroit electronic music festival) with a friend from work. It was the last day of the festival, a Monday to be exact. He had some MDMA, about a gram. We got to the festival before it was even opened (around 12pm) because we thought there would be mad lines for buying tickets but we lucked out (although we probably could have came later). We had plenty of time to walk around and check out the different stages and food and accessory shops (friend ended up buying a made in Detroit t-shirt). We walked along the Detroit river for awhile as well, it was kind of chilly that day as the sun was behind the clouds. We were set on rolling at 5pm and now on to the experience.

Took 100mg at first as my friend took 300mg. The times are going to be rough estimates as I wasn't always entirely aware of what time it was.

+00:40: We headed back into the festival after we had taken it inside his car, at this point i'm clearly not feeling anything, and my friend let me know I wouldn't be for at least 20-30 minutes. We headed to the underground stage where some deep house was playing and wiggled our way through the crowd so we were closer to the stage. At this point, 20 minutes had passed. The come up was very slow and creeping, because out of nowhere I had an enhanced connection or groove to the music playing. The lights underground were the most bright and vivid as well which was awesome. At this point, my social-guard was still intact, I wasn't really dancing because "that's not me har har har", I'm sure many of you can relate to what I'm saying with that. Regardless though the connection to the music felt good, I felt as if the bass owned me. I let my friend know I felt good and would like to take more so we head back to his car again.

+01:30: We were back at his car and I took 2 more capsules, so 200mg more, and I think my buddy took 2 more as well, so he was at 500mg and I was at 300mg all together. This is where our night got really awesome, and we really got lucky that we decided to come back to his car when we did, because at that point we met these two cuties (10/10) in the parking lot who needed help getting into the festival, and my friend being the smooth talker he is, mapped out a plan with them where if we helped them get in then we would all dance and party together and they were down. At this point I was rolling hard, being my first time and all. We all headed back to the festival and helped them get in. The cops and security guards were fucking crazy there though. Twice throughout the day I was told to step aside and remove everything from my pockets and I was fully patted down as well. I look like a fucking nerd too, they said I had too many things in my pocket, as if that's a crime. But anyways, every time this one girl wanted to say something she would grab you and get really close to your ear because the music was loud and her voice wasn't that strong, those tiny touches were the best feelings in the world at the time. I can't describe to anybody who hasn't taken E before what being touched on it feels like, but it's like this comforting-sexually-energetic-heavenly-love touch. I can only imagine what having sex on E must feel like.

+02:30: Well at this point i'm on cloud 9, all my social and self insecurities have melted, but at the same time I felt in control (which to me is everything in a drug). We were passing a joint in a circle until it was finished. The funny thing was I never felt any effects from the marijuana throughout the whole night (and I am not a habitual or heavy smoker by any means). I guess that tells you how powerful E can be. We all were at the Electric Forest stage where all the big names would be going on. I think Paper Diamond was doing his set at this time. The greatest thing was how I could be honest to people and empathize with them. I remember letting my buddy know that I love him for letting me come along and showing me such a great time and there was nobody else I would have rather came with then this guy (which to this day still rings true). I probably gave him a hug or two a couple times throughout the festival. So at this point we were all dancing and really into the music.

+04:00: Gramatik was on as well as GRiZ, and the music was too dope to handle. (If you don't know these two then you should look their stuff up). It was one of the best nights of my life so far. The connection I felt with the crowd was unbelievable. I would make eye contact with somebody in the crowd who was also dancing (and probably on some drug as well), and just connected with them it was beyond beautiful of a feeling.

+05:00: It started to downpour and we were all getting soaked, luckily we saw GRIZ finish his set but we didn't have it in us to stay and see Big Gigantic. My hoody was probably 10lbs heavier with rain. At this point the effects were subsiding and we both agreed to leave and changed our clothes and got in his car where he had these heated seats (oh my fucking god, heated seats are amazing rolling or not rolling). Then he dropped me off and I went to sleep an hour later, I felt completely exhausted. I am glad I didn't take shrooms as well at the festival because somebody offered us some as well. That being my first time with shrooms could have potentially made things worse or even better, who knows. In the end I was glad this was just an experience with MDMA and not other drugs.

I never got sweaty on E like many people say they do. I made sure to stay hydrated throughout though. Maybe it was a cool night (can't really recall this). Also definitely have something for your teeth for the entirety of your roll, because you will clamp down and bite your teeth a lot. I used gum, but I found out this was a bad idea the next day as my teeth ached for about 3 days straight. In terms of the comedown, it was moderate. I have had issues with depression in the past, so this feeling was nothing new. Although the next morning I did have a bad fever and headache, that sucked. I felt partially emotionless and empty for the next 3-4 days but it was nothing significant or anything that would make me turn down another chance to roll. All-in-all this was a 10/10 experience and taught me a lot about being self-conscious and shy around people. My social skills have improved dramatically since. This is definitely something to try for people who are shy or have social anxiety. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised what just one use of E will teach you.

Glad you enjoyed it! Welcome to Bluelight then, good to start off posting a report that measures up well to the general content of this forum!
 
Sounds like a great first time! I'm glad it was, because you most likely won't be so impacted by the "magic" of MDMA again unless you take a seriously long break.

ALSO, I'm not trying to bust your balls by any means, but this is a harm reduction forum so I feel obligated to say something: 300mg of pure, clean MDMA is A LOT for a beginner. I realize you had a blast, but cutting your dose down by at least 100mg will most likely ease the hangover (you're not taking such a big hit to your serotonin levels) a bit and you'll still enjoy yourself.

Great trip report, btw. :D

Thanks for looking out. I'll be taking some Friday again where i'll probably either take the same or lower dose.
 
What makes you think you even got MDMA? Did you test it? As samnslumberland pointed out 300 mg of pure MDMA is a lot for a beginner, but 300 mg of methylone is an average "good" dose. Methylone feels like MDMA but only releases about 1/3rd the serotonin.

This is a very valid point; the MDMA scene is so adulterated these days that you can never know what you're taking 100% without using a test kit (dancesafe.org has them available for sale). It is EXTREMELY easy to mistake other drugs such as Methylone and other various research chemicals, even for experienced users. If you intend on continuing to use this drug, I would take the time to comb through the Ecstasy Discussion thread if you haven't already because you'll find a TON of valuable harm reduction information that can honestly save you from abusing this drug. If you abuse MDMA, it will abuse you ten-fold.

In regards to the amount of MDMA that you consume in one night, it's dependent on weight, body type, and tolerance. For the most part, though, you shouldn't be consuming more than 250mg of pure MDMA per trip (which should be once every three months, or once per month if you really have no desire to wait).

I wish you luck in your future drug-related endeavors Furanku_!

It was tested. My friend that I wholeheartedly trust, tests his stuff always. Now this last Friday I took around 260 mg of some even better stuff and it seriously felt like a trip, so much more powerful and I even took less. If I do come across the same quality stuff as last Friday, I won't taking anything near 260.

I outlined a piece of that experience:

Took around 260-300mg, friend loaded them at .13-.15 a capsule, and I took two of them. I can honestly say I got pretty fucked up and I know these were stronger than the last batch we had gotten from somebody else. I never puked, but a bunch of buddies puked off of 1 pill alone, one even ended up going home. Holy shit I saw tracers like never before, and I was going in and out of consciousness along with epic eye wiggles (Which even the 300mg I took last time didn't give me any of this). I'm typing this up the day after, and I still feel amazing but I can sense a small mental detachment like I got last time, but I can tell this was much more pure because i'm not having any crazy comedown feelings. I was in a totally different head space and my emotions were COMPLETELY sensitive. We were at the club and I was going to go downstairs to the bathroom and a security guard was yelling up from the bottom with such fear and urgency, he was screaming for security "SECCURRIITYYYY.. SECURRITYYYY!", and I just geeked out I was so overwhelmed for fear of what was going on down there that I actually turned around on the stairs and went back up. I don't know if there was some stabbing or a brutal fight or an overdose that happened down there, but that was honestly the freakiest feeling of sensitivity or empathy I ever had. Other than that, my night was AMAZING. Just wanted to note that I have more respect for MDMA now and won't be taking anything over 200mg from now on, because that was straight INTENSE, but awesome!

You doses are too high, and from the look of it you don't seem do take your breaks?
 
to me 300mg of mdma for someone who had never taken it would leave them rolling on the floor. it would knock you on your ass.

if it was 50% pure then 150mg would be manageable and probably nice if you had 50mg followed by 100mg. it would make the comeup smooth. 300=overwhelming comeup. i have done it myself but this is after years and years of tolerance/misuse. when i first started 150mg would blow me away

also you wont feel weed like you normally would on mdma but it will cause crazy halucinations if you smoke a lot
