MDMA and LSD: How often is too often?

[Batsy]

Recently candy flipped and had a fantastic time. Still, days later, i feel great. I feel as though the positive mindset i had during that flip stayed with me. People say you should only roll once every 3 months as a general rule of thumb (at least i think so), but if i felt great even during the come down and the days after, what approach should i take when going to another show where i want to do this again? At this point i feel like it'll be amazing again, but you never know.

Also--

If i felt negative effects following this event i probably would space out the next time i do it, but the thing is i still feel fantastic. I have been less stressed out and it was a humbling experience, allowing me to really appreciate the position i am in with life currently. Not sure if i should take this as a sign to do it again or just chill out for a while.

Everyone is different. X can handle X amount, and Y can handle Y amount..

Listen to your body and do what you feel is right. Even so, if you can't tell, it's better to be safe with it and use as less as possible to get less negative side-effects, u dig.


mdma 3 months is good.
lsd would be around the same time length to be safe.

As I said, some people can handle a lot more, some a lot less. Just be careful and don't make dramatic decisions.

I've had no problems taking LSD twice a week, and have taken it more often than that even.

It would be wise to keep MDMA a very rare treat as it tends to lose its magic. LSD has never lost its magic for me. %)

LSD simply IS magic. %)

@OP: Consider yourself lucky you don't have a hangover and even feel well after candyflipping. Normally it can give you quite the hangover. I wouldn't push my luck and try taking MDMA again too soon as, like everyone knows, it tends to lose its magic that way. Also the hangovers get progressively worse if you're taking MDMA too often.

LSD doesn't lose its magic or cause too much of a hangover for me, but you should still respect this substance. It's great but you shouldn't overdo it. Your brain shouldn't have to process an LSD trip every week (or so) eventhough, like C.H said it can be done without too much problems, but that's not to say problems can't arise either. There's ofcourse tolerance, but that goes almost as quickly as it comes so that's not really an issue.

Have fun candyflipping, it's an amazing combo!

Btw, this isn't really suited for DC now, is it?

MDMA lost it's magic for me 2 years ago because I abused it, taking it almost weekly, often taking it for days in a row. LSD, however, which I had done several times before ever trying MDMA, is still a novel experience for me. I'd try to keep the MDMA as infrequent an experience as possible. IMO LSD on it's own is equally as beneficial, and it doesn't have the kind of consequences and risks that MDMA brings to the table when you combine them.

Better suited to PD.

I'd definitely try to keep at least two month gaps in between taking MDMA, I completely abused it doing it once or more every week and now it's completely pointless for me to ever do it. I never get anything from it or if I do take enough to get something it's never nice. It's definitely not worth abusing, I definitely regret it.

I think that LSD never loses it's magic completely, of course it will feel more familiar and normal the 170th trip than your 2nd but no matter how many you dropped in your entire life, there's always potential for an awesome trip.

Whereas with MDMA and with many/most "directly euphoric" (or non-psychedelic? and serotonin+dopamine based) stims it's apparentely quite easy to rewire your brain and lose the magic forever. The fact is that a huge portion of people who take MDMA at clubs take it every single friday, maybe saturdays too, which is enough for a nasty psychical tolerance to develop....

I used to take MDMA (When it WAS MDMA) every weekend... usually about 4 per weekend (In those days, they were quite strong and ALWAYS good..damn I miss that) but it DID fuck with my head. It was almost like the comedown would last the whole week. During that period of my life I was the most forgetful I have ever been, I ALWAYS forgot stuff, misplaced things, kept getting angry or upset over nothing etc. Not to mention the weight loss... I was about 55kgs in those days. Not healthy at all. I limit myself to about 10 pills a year MAX now, though I never take that many as the pills these days suck anyway. I'd be chasing the white whale of pills forever...
