Oh, I'm sorry. I should re-phrase that. What exactly were your feelings/thoughts about it?
As many have pointed out the holes int he brain propaganda is just that and the US government has since owned up to lying about it on the DL. The study that the DR "claimed" holes/ lack of blood flow and later Parkinson, its well known in the medical community that "SOME HOW" he used the WRONG chemicals and not MDMA to come to this conclusion. He has to retract his papers in the American Journal on the topics too. The US gov. paid his to do this research and to come to the conclusions that he did, that too is well known and the case for many MANY North American studies on drugs since about the 1950's. Big Pharma and all of their $$ keeps it that way.....
There have been a lot of great studies coming out of Europe the last few years on MDMA.. I will have to see if I can find some links for you..
The KEY to it all is Moderation. Anything you have done to your system right now will heal it will just take a little while. There is many first hand accounts here and in many other places of people who have abused MDMA very badly and made full recovery with time and good habits on food and exercise. You had a "small" binge you will be fine compared to a lot of others its was more of an oops.. that is as long as its was a one time binge and not a habit..
As for spacing.. I have READ a LOT of studies and first hand experiences from around the world...the SHORTEST time people seem to agree on for "regular" uses is 4 weeks (aka a month) and an AVERAGE of 6 weeks ( aka a Month and a half) while 2-3 months is a "SAFE Zone" for others... it seems most agree that after a binge 6 months is a good time for breaking to maybe a year depending on how long and hard the binge was.
I agree with most everything you said. I will definitely be breaking for a while, trying for at least 6 months, hopefully more!
Moderation is indeed key, I kind of just stopped giving a fuck for a little bit due to what I am experiencing in life atm. I spent so long worrying about this and that, and thinking so negative, that when I snapped out of it I kind of said FUCK IT! I'm gonna live my life to the fullest, and if i wanna do something, I'm more likely to do it now. No matter what it is.
My binge was a "heldback" binge as in I was aware I was binging but still had to restrain from endless dropping whenever I wanted for the weekend, lol. I tried to keep it relatively light.
Seeing as mdma isn't that far chemically structured off methamphetamine, and also having a large impact on the serotonin syndrome, whilst i don't honestly believe that mdma causes holes in the brain, i do think that it can disrupt your brain to the point of memory loss, depression, anxiety etc and certain people are just more susceptible or do other drugs to combat the side effects, which is wrong in the first place, just slow down. I notice a lot of heavy mdma users can also tend to toke a lot to help ease the depression and anxiety.
I absolutely cane my stash of weed after i do mdma.
Totally the same for me. I've been abstaining from weed a few times coming down, and the week was always horrible! This time however, I just toke and it smooths me out real good
I've noticed a lot that when Im feeling down/lame from MDMA use, if I take some mushrooms or LSD (Low doses 75-100 micrograms) it can bring a lot of color back to my world and I will feel way better/ not depressed. I will take mdma at night before and if theres time i will eat some mushies the next day and get myself back to normal. However I really cant say that I abuse the shit out of MDMA. I have probly taking it about 30 or 40 times in the past 5 years and I never use it 2 days in a row or take 10 in a night like some people i know. I once new a kid who popped a 100 thizzles over 2 weeks.
The thing that has come to really work for me for depression is LSD at low doses. High doses work too. But for someone who's not used to it, a 70 ug hit should take the cloudy depression away without causing to much real confusion. 50 ug can do something to you without you even really feeling it. I definately feel like it repairs alot of the damage done by mdma. WIth larger doses i think its more difficult for people who have really abused it to adjust but at small doses I think its great.
Just remember its not what goes in you but what comes out. Ive seen strait alcoholics that have been the nicest people on earth while others tend to be the classic mean drunk.
If MDMA really is so dangerous then why would the government even give shit. They obviously dont care that tobacco and alcohol are killing people everyday let alone the massive amount of shitty prescription drugs from oxycontin to anti-depressants. Dont mind the fluoride in the water, its for the health of your teethe (Like the government really gives a shit about our teethe).
MDMA is not illegal because its bad for you. The way I see it, these rich fuckers controlling the the pharmaceuticals dont want us to have anything thats good for us socially. They want us isolated, dumb and scared so that we dont realize how fucked over everything really is. ALcohol is accepted because it dumbs us down. Addiction distracts us. Heroine and coke and opium and marijuana illegal because Sorry for ranting. People need to know.
I liked reading this, your theory on post-LSD is interesting. I can never find serious LSD though, just that acid that tastes like bitter crap and numbs your tongue. Still, I drop the shit out of it, and it's never caused me any noticeable long-lasting lingering effects.
Currently, the only thing I can REALLY notice (since rolling that weekend) is a drop in memory. I'll be walking into a room and forget what the purpose of me walking into that room was. It's kind of funny and silly, but also not at the same time.
I've been supplementing CDP Choline and plan to explore nootropics.
I agree that the gov. conspires against us and makes things illegal for stupid reasons, but I do think MDMA has the potential for negative effects afterwards.
Never ever got that feeling with acid/shrooms, and only slightly with weed (just very slight memory impairment for up to a week after smoking often)
I suppose your rant, got me ranting myself! Haha.
