MDMA + Weed - Second time - A literal nightmare

[KingDrude]

Hello everyone, I'm new here. I find it interesting to read trip stories, bad or good, so I thought someone might find this interesting idk. I don't know if this experience is "normal" if you're having a bad trip on MDMA and weed, but my friends that have tried alot of different drugs said that it sounded like a strange experience to have while on this. It was not strange for me, it was straight up horrifying. I've never been so scared in my entire life. This happened 2 days ago.

So to the story, I took a 100mg dose with no weed. On the decline we popped another dose of 100mg. This is when I started to smoke a little bit. We smoked one jay on 5 people before we went on an adventure to the beach that's close by. There as a small pier there that we were gonna chill on. Idk how long we were there but it had gotten dark by the time we were heading home. I smoked alot (too much) on this pier.

So to the horrifying stuff. It may just sound weird reading it, but let me reassure you, it was terrifying. We all walked from the pier and onto the rocks that was between the water and the path home. 2 of the guys were a little ahead of us and the 3 of us behind yelled at them to stop and wait (we couldn't find our lighter). They stopped. One of my friends went back to the pier to look for the lighter (the pier was like 10 steps away). When he passed me to get to the pier I remember that something was off about him. I cannot remember what, but something about him made me think that he was having a bad trip (I think he talked to himself or something idrk). So I stared at him while he looked around at the pier incase he would fall in the water or something. Then he found the lighter and headed back to us. On his way back he yelled "what are they doing" (he meant the 2 guys that were a little ahead of us waiting). I turned and looked at them while I responded "they're waiting". It was when I turned back to my friend that it started.

What was now walking towards me was not my friend anymore. It was a complete stranger in a purple suit (yes I know, it's weird). At first I didn't realize that this was actually my friend and not an additional person, so I silently freaked out and started moving away from this stranger that was staring me down and walking towards me. I looked back and saw that this stranger had stopped. That's when I realized that it was my friend, I just saw someone else. That calmed me down a little, as that meant there was nobody "coming to get me" as I first thought. I walked to the 2 guys that were waiting on us and turned around. The stranger had gone and my friend was now standing there along with another friend that had laid down on the rocks. They were a little infront of us and over us.

That's when I started to notice something else. My friend (the one that had gotten the lighter) did not have his face. His eyes were kind of glitching out and his face looked like it couldn't decide on what face to use. It was both fucking weird and scary to look at. As I stood there with an unlit cigarette in my hand and a basicly complete stranger infront of me, I asked if anyone had the lighter. Guess who had it? The face guy. I do not understand how I was brave enough to do it, but I walked over to him (without looking at his face) and took the lighter from his hand. I walked back and lit my cigarette. His face was still fucked. I wanted to look away, but I couldn't stop staring.

Then we started walking back home. I made sure to get a little ahead of this face guy (im gonna just call him that). We walked up a path that went through a little piece of forest. I was concentrating on not thinking about what I just saw. But when we had walked a few steps, I suddenly got chills all over my body. I got this nasty feeling that I was being followed. I walked infront with two others and the faceguy and another behind us. Since I felt this I just reacted with turning around to look. What I saw when I turned around was the most terrifying thing of the trip. Behind me were my two friends, both with another face and both staring at me. And it wasn't just another regular face. It was a mess of different faces all put together. His eyes where glitching and changing all the time. The other friend's face was just a blur. I turned back in fear and for some reason I decided to look again. Right when I started to turn, someone dragged my jacked hard. When I think back on it, it felt like I was kind of woken up at that moment. I got very scared (because of what I just saw) and almost hit my friend that did it (not one of the faceguys). He said "calm down, It just me that's been dragging on your jacket". And I said "wait, have you done this more than once?". He had done it more than once, but I only felt the last time (again, as I've just been woken up). I did not look back again until we came to the beach. The faceguy talked to me and I looked back and answered (his face was normal).

Then we arrived home without anymore incidents. I went straight in while the others stayed out and rolled another jay. They called me when they were done and I went out to smoke some more (for some fucking reason) Everyone looked normal, but I kept a close eye on the faceguy. He was pretty fucked as well so he walked around and danced.

Then I started noticing something. The bags under his eyes got darker and darker. He turned around and when he turned back, his eyes were completely white. I got scared and saw that one of my friends had seen I got scared and we stared at eachother for a few seconds. When I looked back the faceguy had his normal face. But after he turned around again, his eyes looked like they had gotten burned away (if you've seen Dark on Netflix; similar to how the first kid was found). I just turned around and said "im going inside". I looked back many times and each time his eyes were still burnt. He asked me why I was going inside and I just said "because I want to" (I just wanted to get away from him), while still staring into his empty and burned eyes. Even when I closed the glass door I could see them. I went inside and laid down on the couch and turned on Youtube to get my mind off it. It happened one more time when they all came in but I took the blanket and covered my eyes so I could still see the TV but not his face. I then fell asleep. And that's the end. Fucking horrifying.

TL;DR: MDMA + weed made me see another person instead of my friend and then his face and eyes started changing and glitching out. It felt like this new face was after me but my friends body was obv not. Horrifying experience. Not recommended.

Before anyone asks, I am not sure that it was pure MDMA or even MDMA at all. My friend that bought it said he tested it and the test looked good. But I never saw the test results, so I can't know for certain.

Thanks for reading, and just ask questions (if you have any).

It Sounds Like Your MDMA May Have Been A Different Drug Entirely.

It Sounds Like Your MDMA May Have Been A Different Drug Entirely.

After getting some replies on Reddit stating the same, I'm beginning to think that it was not. My friends also said that it was a strange experience to have on MDMA. But 4 other guys took more than me from the same batch and their experience felt like they normally feel. It's strange.

THC is unpredictable when combined with other drugs, especially novel designer ones.

Thanks for the report. I'm sorry you had such a negative time, I can understand why the hallucinations you described would be frightening especially if you weren't expecting them, but it sounds like a totally normal MDMA experience to me. This happens to me every time I take it and I've had a lot of definite pure MDMA in my life.

A lot of people don't take enough for what they personally need to experience this and don't redose or smoke cannabis in the comedown and don't go walking around outside at night afterwards or look for these types of hallucinations because they don't expect them to occur on MDMA, so they miss them. I'm sensitive enough that I can notice them without any of that especially because I know what to look for now but all those things make them much, much stronger still. For me they start kicking in without fail give or take four hours after my original dose and last a few hours after that. Redosing on MDMA can extend it but I usually just smoke cannabis instead which increases the intensity but doesn't make it last longer.

I find the hallucinations basically similar to deliriants but with a slight psychedelic twist, particularly at larger dosages. The highest amount I ever took (accidentally) was around 800 mg and I took one bong hit around four hours later and everyone everywhere was doing the face glitching and total identity changing thing, and that wasn't even close to all that was happening, that was a crazy fucking night.

If you read around enough you'll find enough people who have experienced this, it's very typical if you just do it right. The hallucinations can be entirely pleasant if you expect and plan for them. One of my favorite things about MDMA back in the day (haven't taken it in years now) was getting people to hallucinate on it like this with me especially if they didn't believe it was possible before then, and we always had a great time.

That's all I've got to say on the matter for now. Sorry again that you had a bad time but I wouldn't be too worried about the identity of the chemical if your friend said the test checked out.

Contrary to what the guy above me says. I thought the cause of this may lay with thc affecting the facial comprehension part of the brain. I recently read about long-time users having changes in that area. ?‍

Having experienced literally exactly what KingDrude described on MDMA countless times and knowing many other people who have experienced the same yet never once having experienced that on cannabis alone or knowing anyone else who has described doing so despite being all day every day stoners for years, I find that explanation pretty unlikely personally. It may enhance the effect of MDMA in that way but I wouldn't bet on more than that.

So, I decided to stop by Google to grab some quick extra evidence for what I'm saying. Here are several links and quotes from them that were all easily found by searching for "MDMA hallucinations" (without the quotation marks). Certain parts I've bolded for emphasis.

Crazy hallucinations on MDMA

It felt like incredibly clean MDMA, very energetic and euphoric, without the 'messiness' that you feel with more impure MDMA (SWIM enjoys that type too). However at around 2am they went for a walk to a log cabin in a small forest with three other friends who were all on it too, and SWIM began experiencing some INTENSE hallucinations. He was seeing animals running across the path in front of him (the most vivid example being a very fluffy blue cat the size of a lion), and at one point saw an incredibly intricate and detailed white manor house in a field. It was so vivid that he actually asked his friends if 'that massive house has always been there'. His friends were also tripping balls, with T talking to a wooden beam in the log cabin thinking it was SWIM and at one point thinking he was walking through a swamp when the ground was completely dry. These hallucinations were incredibly real, and would last for several seconds before you realised what you were seeing wasn't actually there, at which point they would vanish abruptly.

People often have visuals on MDMA, especially in heavy doses, but to know what caused your hallucinations you need to test the drug.

Even MDMA has hallucinogenic effects and especially in the environment you describe.

One will usually hallucinate off m when taking a large dose.

trance's dog has crazy close eyed hallucinations. last night he was talking a sit down piss at the bathroom while tripping on 3 mdma gels, when he lay his head against his arms closing eyes and he saw a different world through the darkness, there were rainbows, unknown glowy stuff. nothing open eye visuals though just the typical "ecstasy" viewpoint.

Do you ever had any big hallucinations on ecstasy?

Yes. In combination with not eating that much and slightly sleep deprived. People’s faces were morphing into different people and the fire we had lit was changing colours. Along with that lights glow and spiral and it even went as far to seeing people who weren’t even there and would just disappear at the blink of an eye. I’d like to add that I took two pills even when half is a good amount for me.

Scary as hell hallucinations after MDMA

Then things got weird. It was pitch black in my room, so I could only see the faint outlines of objects. I notice that there's something on my chair. I poke it, but feel nothing and it moves to another part of the chair. Now I can see it looks like a huge spider. I'm freaked out so I jump away onto the bed. At the foot of my bed, there's a large black silhouette, but it wasn't human, it was like a centipede standing up I grabbed my duvet, and backed away to the other end of my bed. Things around the room were merging into these creatures. At this moment, a gust of wind blows and the curtain flips up, I can see these small creatures run in from the window, Some are bigger than others, and some were centipedes, some spiders. Or just regular tiny humans, all completely pitch black. [Note: this anecdote specifically also involves one zopiclone pill.]

Yeah, I have seen human silhouette on my comedown too. It was pretty dark in the room so I just saw this shadowy person standing in the doorway. However, I was so exhausted that I just said "fuck it, I ain't dealing with this shit right now", covered my head with a blanket and went back to sleep xD

Yeah iv had some pretty horrific hallucinations on 500+mg with weed.

I've just posted a thread about MDMA and weed mixed being a psychedelic trap you don't see coming. Sent me into a trip worse than anything I've experienced and I've smoke DMT for fuck sake ?

Took me off guard for real!

Yeah that happens on very high doses like that. A friend of mine said he was seeing spiders in my carpet and that was even before he was coming down.

I haven't read anything but "400mg". Yes at this dose hallucinations are a thing. I once consumed 400mg over a night. I weigh 60kg. At some point I were unable to read my screen and sounds were completely distorted.

fucked up hallucinations on MDMA

last night I took 3 instagram pills, and after the third one I started hallucinating really bad. I've had this before, like something in the corner of your eye seems to be something, but when you look directly is nothing. You think is a person, than you look at it and it's actually a towel, I've heard that its pretty common, but last night, dude. I look to my dog and its face wasn't its normal face, more like a DEMON face, a dog straight from hell, it was so fucking real I was in shock, couldn't move or do anything, just saw that creature and almost shat my pants, then suddenly (after 3 seconds of demonic face) it changes back to my dog and when I realized it was only my dog I started to freak out a bit from inside, cause at first I forgot I even had a dog in the room, it was like an alien or just like a death monster, so spooky. something like that never happened before, it was really fucked up. I had that demon face image in my head the whole day, can't stop thinking about it, it was so real. fuck.

I once took probably over half a gram when I didn't know any better, and I saw a man in a suit with a pig head. He was friendly though.

Also, you know that hand thing from the Addams Family? Saw something like that too.

I often see green and pink lights bumbling along like ants. I like them.

Everyone in dim lighting had pig faces for me one time. Glad to see I'm not alone on that one

This night I saw loads of weird stuff. Floppy hats on people and monocles. It was an odd night.

Thats a fuckton of MDMA def. can expect crazy hallucinations xD

My buddy said he saw cauliflowers everywhere and a dog once. We was in a club.

MDMA hallucination (mda) are very fucking trippy and very real! I think they're awesome, just need to tell yourself you're fucked up, Some people hate them I love them though.

Hallucination experiences!

Hello fellow sesh gremlins, I had an amazing night on Saturday after taking some MDMA, I don't usually experience hallucinations when I've had it, maybe the odd flash of light when I'm going to sleep the night after.

However, on Saturday night when I was in the club I had one of the most weird hallucinations I've ever experienced (I've took LSD and shrooms before) - someone's face turned into a horror style sort of pig, I actually thought they were wearing a mask, it was bizarre!

The one major visual hallucination I had was thinking there was a plant pot in the smoking area with a cactus in it. I went over to look at it and pick it up, when in fact it was this girl's bottle of wine, and her (absolutely stacked) boyfriend turns around and says "what the fuck do you think you're doing?" to which I just kind of stutter and walk away.

...

This is my own theory but I believe the psychedelic effects of MDMA are more like a very light deliriant without the satanic/terrifying undertones of something like DPH - the weird trippy effects of MDMA seem to me more like your brain massively misinterpreting its sensory input (like the flower pot cactus, or the barriers) because it's trying to "fill in" what it thinks is there because it's too busy being ridiculously happy.

I have done higher doses a few times, 900 being my most and for me at least it differs from LSD a lot because of how the hallucinations appear. When i first start getting visual it's basses of the world i can see and my brain adding or morphing just like an LSD trip although nowhere near as clear, but as i trip harder with higher doses it switches to hallucinating without a base in the real world. That being what is already there, visual happen around objects, in front, between and my brain imagining what could be in the world instead of imagining what that object or lighting over there actually is.

Sounds cool, I had hallucinations but only one on my first roll. I had taken 1 full red supreme and was looking for the bong when my friend had asked to go get it out of the barn.

I walked into the barn and was super thirsty, and needed water, I walked around the couch and there it was, a perfectly full water bottle on this table thing next to the couch, went to pick it up and it just faded as I swept my hand through it.

I thought it was super cool, grabbed the bong and enjoyed the rest of my night. That's all I got though, nothing too vivid.

Had a few hallucinations while on m, usually almost always faces swapping with others, i understand what you mean when you say you think they are wearing a mask totally. Dont really get hallucinations while on m unless i smoke some weed tho

I've noticed smoking slot of green and taking quite a bit of MD over the night causes me to have really vivid hallucinations. The other night a few really surreal things happened.

The first was seeing numbers and text. I was looking at the air between me and my friend when i started seeing like a transparent phone screen with messages as if people were talking. I wasn't really reading it but it was like messenger or texting and it kept scrolling down as if new messages were being sent by both parties. This escalated to me seeing numbers everywhere making up everything i saw. This was white text overlaying objects.

I then decided to look into the night sky, the stars where beautiful and so felt really happy. As i looked at the stars, little white line drawings would be drawn around each star. These line drawings formed helicopter outlines, untill i was staring at one which turned into a helicopter which looked real. Properly lit up although i think the lighting felt a little CGI.

The last thing was an extension of shadow people as i was walking home. But instead of these hallucinations looking like shadows they looked invisible. You know when you can see through, but there's distortion and a kind of outline. I would see people walking towards or standing around but they were invisable, the first one being a guy walking his dog that i walked through.

Rolled 4times only one I had them , shadow creepy finger calling me over, and then faces in the heater, and then for the rest of the night a big Indian face on the wall , I wasn't expecting that on molly so kinda crept me over and stacked for the next few days . P.s My first to much about 450 crystal, stupid never agin

A lot of mdma ir a decent dose with weed gets me to a slightly delirious state

I only had it once for just a few seconds. The strobelights made my friends faces float around for a few seconds like they were duplicated in a very black and white cartoonish way. It was very funny tbh.

A friend of my told me he started seeing some pretty scary stuff one time. Whenever he would look at someones face it would look partially or sometimes even fully burned.

Anyone ever experience hallucinations while on mdma?

On Monday night I consumed 2 red ups pills, they were not tested but they are well known pills and contain around 200mg of Mdma. I have never experienced hallucinations before but when I turned round and looked at my friend it looked like she was wearing purple face paint and had green hair. It definitely wasn't the lighting and I so convinced that I was about to ask where she got her face painted and why her hair was green, then when I started to look around every girl with blond hair had the same purple face and green hair.

Yes, twice. High doses of mdma can produce hallucinations, for the reasons already described here. I had similar ones when I took 1 green heineken + 2 Mitsubishi, everybody had green mud on their faces, eyes were melting out, music echoing, etc,... I enjoyed it, but it's not good for you to dose this high, if you want hallucinations with mdma, just try candyflipping.

On 200 I hallucinated a picture of a small box changing into a slot machine. On 250 I saw my friends sitting on a bench on the road ahead when there was no bench or friends (

I wrote about this before, I took a high dose of 2 pills once (no test but told MDMA also back in the 90's) I stupidly went to a club by myself and was tripping so hard that I was forgetting where I was, I started to hallucinate my friends.. I would see them hanging out across the room then run up to them to say whats up, only to realize after I started talking to them that I had no idea who they were, everyone was very nice but I could see a worried look on their faces as I must of looked like I was rolling balls. I would then remember I was COMPLETLEY ALONE and no friends were there, I would then "flash out" and forget and do it to another group of people. I also hallucinated once that I was communicating with EVERYONE in the room telepathically, also I could "hear" conversations from across the room. there have been others but these were most trippy.

If i closed my eyes i started seeing schoolbusses which transformed in all kinds of Escher kinda things. Also if i closed my eyes i could see my phone in my hand and use it (scrolling, swyping etc.) but as soon as i opened my eyes my phone was in the charger.

Never myself but my friends hallucinate people wearing the same shirt or people wearing non existing hats in crowds.

After a particularly heavy session (300mg-500mg) over a night, I'll start seeing moving cartoons in my sheets, if I close my eyes I'll see hyper-realistic machine hallucinations and I once saw a football match being played on the frosted glass on my front door.

i get vivid hallucinations. you ll see me with my eyes closed a lot of the time. behind my eye lids when those lights hit you i get puffs of light trails that look like cotton candy and then i usually get a 3d box that spirals around in layers and i travel through it like one of those crazy screen savers. funnest thing to fly through when at a show.

Yea... ive seen glasses on people that dont wear them. Its weird because you know its not real. Also I always see feathers popping out from behind people's head, like a headdress or some shit.

Hahaha dude I've had this exact trip. About 4am in this German club and suddenly it looked like everyone was wearing glasses

Hallucinations on MDMA

Yesterday I tok 0.4g / 400mg of pure MDMA. I tok it three times within 4 hours. After the last dose I smoked 3 joints and tok around 3-4 bowls. I was totally fucked up. In the end I couldn't talk with my friends and nothing made sense. If I said something I got a feeling of "what the fuck are you talking about?". In the very end I started getting hallucinations. This is where the most fucked up thing happened. One moment I thought my friend lost his fake plastic eye and fake plastic skin (almost like Harvey Dent from batman the dark knight). The plastic eye just rolled down on the floor. My friend was now sitting there with his face half open and eye gone. I was fucking completely frozen in shock. I pretended like it didn't happened and just looked another way. Did I just witnessed my friend losing half of his face while ripping bowls in his sofa? No, it was just me hallucinating. Sitting there frozen in shock I thought "why haven't you told us, that your missing half of your face???". Because I thought his fake skin and eye just fell off. But he dosent have fake plastic face or an fake eye, he is completely normal. It was one of the most scary and fucked up shit I have ever experienced.

I've been doing MDMA for years now and it always happens.

Me and my mate did about the same amount last night and we were hallucinating like mad haha, won’t be doing that much again I kept talking to people who weren’t there and I’d come out with random crap to my friend that just didn’t make sense. At one point I was having dreams whilst awake but it would only last for a few seconds then I’d snap back into the real world.

Weed on comedown always make me see morphing surroundings. We have a guy in our group which only his face i see melting and shapeshifting :D all the fuking time! actually i love those level 4 cev’s and oev’s to be honest. exploring time for me then

About MDMA-induced hallucinations.

I have the impression that some people are more susceptible to these hallucinations while others never get this kind of effect from this drug ever, and it seems to be a really common topic of debate whether or not real MDMA can cause it to happen or if it always has to do with pills laced with something else.

I personally am 100% convinced that real pure MDMA is capable of causing this on it's own. Cannabis seems to potentiate it a lot but it's not necessary for it to occur.

One of the strangest things about these hallucinations is that they do not happen consistently unlike the visuals you are pretty much guaranteed to get from other psychedelic drugs, they do not follow this common, stable pattern but they are rather very random, very bizarre and somehow completely different in nature.

I really love psychedelics, one of my favorite things about tripping is the beautiful visual side it offers, but there's something about these MDMA visions that just could never ever come from say, LSD or mushrooms. At least not in my experience.

Yeah MDMA hallucinations are definitely real and deliriant-like. I always have them, most times at the end of the roll. They're really cool at the moment because you're rolling.

Its not the MDMA itself , it's the conversion from MDMA to the more psychedelic substance MDA in the stomach [Note: Often repeated but to my knowledge not scientifically verified.], roughly 10% is converted and these two combined makes very realistic hallucinations, much more then any other substances. Especially the brain movies where you will think you are in another place having a conversation then snap back to reality and your just sitting there by yourself or your talking to your toilet thinking it's a customer at work. That happened to me , couldn't piss for two hours was too busy talking to the toilet. ? Don't do over a gram in a night and you won't have that happen.

Yeah so my first time rolling I was an absolute idiot and dosed 300 mg of MDMA crystal, and needless to say I was experiencing extreme hallucinations. I have tried deliriants before, and the hallucinations were like DPH, except euphoric. For example I hallucinated my dog walking on the walls, but after about ten seconds I said to myself "my dog 1. can't walk on walls and 2. isn't in this room, he's with my parents." I also hallucinated that I was on facetime with my friend for literally like fifteen minutes, and then the next morning I found out I hadn't even had my phone in the room, and it was dead in the bathroom. My other roll I've hallucinated was a candyflip, and I saw a little green man in my room. Completely unlike all acid visuals, MDMA visuals are another level.

I saw gnome statues all over my garden when I was hallucinating, had an enormous MD dose

I have always thought the MDMA hallucinations was a myth. But I took 600mg which I know was a terrible idea and I was seeing shit. The Visuals were so real. Nothing like I have ever experienced before and I have have took mdma and lsd a Million times

It always happens when I'm trying to sleep. I hallucinated about playing this cute cat game once. It doesn't exist in reality though lol. Just in my mind. And sometimes I hallucinate that I'm drinking water but I'm just closing my eyes. So weird.

I used to sit and read books or Reddit posts that werent there. Always on the comedown though.

I most of the times see people wearing eye glasses in parties, strangers and friends. When i arrived home and went to pee saw some weird metalic object like coming from toilet, all geometric but with a shape of a sea horse but black and he started to stare ar me and slowly in my direction, very alien-like. Scary and beautiful at the same time. Also saw some dolley hanged on to roof. Also my gf saw my face in a tiger shape.

My GFS friend had glittrt face paint on, but me rolling my ass off thought she had terrible scars

Weird hallucinations on Molly

Usually when I'm down I don't experience much of anything but now with closed eyes I see a number of different visions so to speak. Random objects, people talking etc. Every time I open and close my eyes images and events change. I see people have conversations and often events from my life. I can't really understand why this is happening although I know it's the mdma. Also a few months ago I had about 2.5 points and I was with my girlfriend and a buddy and we were just sitting outside (at night) and when I turned to look at them their faces changed. My girlfriends got bigger and it was like a bubble, huge af and my buddies head looked like he was wearing a scary mask. As soon as I turn away and focus on something else the hallucinations go away but when I focus on their faces they come back. This only happened once though.

Nope doesn't have to be ''taking to much mdma''.

I start hallicunating after 1/2 or 1 pill, it's just the way I react to drugs.

At new years eve I combined weed with MDMA for the first time in my life, it was the weirdest and most awesome thing I've ever experienced in my life.

I took the first half (They were orange +/- pills) at around 22:30, the effect's of MDMA started kicking in after about 45 minutes. The great euphoria most of you should be familiar with, nothing weird yet.

At 23:30 I smoked my first joint, right after I finished it the effects of MDMA faded away instantly. No euphoria at all, just gone. I didn't realize what was going on untill I tried to take a lollipop. As I reached out to the pack of lollipops I just saw molted cheese, instead of lollipops. This is when I realized: I'm fucking tripping balls.

I took the second half +/- soon after, and it just got alot weirder after that. My friends became unrecognizable when they would stand 2+ meters away from me. They would just turn into different people and I couldn't recognize it was them. My white friend seriously became a black rasta guy.

An hour later I hit the second joint, this is where the real fun started. At this point I was constantly moving back and forth from the real world and the one I would hallicunate into. I ended up in a grocery store at one point (hallicunating), I took all the stuff out of my backpack (in real life), put them on the table and asked my friend (who looked like someone else once again) "how much am I supposed to pay?''.

I hallucinate sometimes as well, floating objects warping of faces and everything around me speeding up. Wouldn't say it's from talking too much but definitely on high doses.

Why does mda/mdma give such lifelike hallucinations?

I personally hallucinated face paint on people, people that weren't there and facial-pixelation. I have to look twice, it is that real. I actually believe people where standing there for a while. Even on a regular (100mg) dose. I personally have this more than others. But i have read a lot of stories about people having this on high doses.

I don't have the answer, but I am curious as well. I usually only hallucinate at the very end of my comedown when I am incredibly exhausted.. I thought it might have to do with the fact that I might be a little bit delirious at that point

Your craziest MDMA comedown hallucination stories?

So a few days ago I had the best and weirdest MDMA experience ever. I've never experienced anything like this ever.

Throughout one session I had consumed about 300+ mg of MDMA (I had two pills, both had around 160 - 170 mg)

Everything was great, like the usual - come up anxiety, huge waves of euphoria, uncontrollable gurning, eye twitching, restlessness and love for everyone and everything. About 4-5 hours later the effects started to wear off and I had prepared a joint and some benzos so that I could pass out because I've been up for way too long.

So I went to my balcony and lit up my joint. I felt very "wavy" though. As if I was in a dream but I still was "high". Halfway though the joint I started noticing some weird things...

There was a house in front of my balcony and I could see the roof of it. I noticed that there were people there. At first I thought - okey, just some people on a roof. BUT WAIT! Why the fuck are there people on a roof, making a fire at 4:00 AM??? So while smoking the rest of the joint, I stared at the "people" for a good 10 minutes and realized they aren't real. I am hallucinating my ass off. They were sitting in a circle as if around a camp fire. They were talking but their facial features were indistinct. I got so excited and wanted to see if they would react to me quietly calling them. To see, are they real or no? xD

So I proceeded to shout at them very quietly, like a "shhh!". One of the dudes reacted - as if someone had actually shouted at them. He looked around but didn't notice me. So I shouted even louder one more time and suddenly everyone turned around and stared at me and all their faces changed to this evil kind of look. Then they returned to doing whatever "they" were doing - sitting around a fire at 4:00 AM on a roof where no one ever sits...

Then there was a big tree and I saw 2 big t-rex robots staring at each other. Then I saw people jumping from tree to tree like some fucking spider men or monkeys. Everything I saw was crystal clear, almost like a cartoon but it looked very realistic thus why I shouted at the "people" thinking they were real.

All of this lasted for an hour, then I got bored and went inside and holy moly... this is where it got very scary...

I layed on my bed, closed my eyes, opened them and noticed that there was a man in the corner of my bed, looking at me. I noticed him and proceeded to talk to him like he just cam to visit me. We talked about god know what for like 30 mins... Just some random bullshit. So realistically I just sat in my room talking to an imaginary man, but I knew I was tripping, I was having fun.

Holy fuck was I mesmerized and mentally disturbed that night. After conversating with the man I decided to check if the "people" were still there - and they were. 2 hours had passed since the comedown and I decided it's time to pop the benzos and go to sleep because I felt a little crazy and dreamy. My pupils were still very dilated and everything felt trippy.

Interesting. I’ve never had conscious hallucinations (while my eyes are open) while on the comedown, but whenever I try to close my eyes to sleep after rolling, I definitely get mild hallucinations, as if I’m dreaming while I know I’m actually awake. It’s super weird

Never had hallucinations but I always take low amounts and come in well rested and fed. Interesting though because my ex used to talk about this a lot and I never quite understood it. Could be the dose because she was really small and we didn't have much of a tolerance or anything.

I have hallucinated quite intensely off of MDMA before, as have many of my friends. One that I remember quite clearly is being at a festival in the woods and picturing massive cathedrals and apartment buildings emerging from the trees.

Common hallucinations while rolling?

The ones I've experienced, are seeing people that aren't there out of my peripherals, mazes appearing on the walls, and my friends face swapping with other people I know. It sounds scary but I actually kind of like these visuals.

I've experienced "cartoon" like sight. Everyone looked like they came straight out of a mario game. Everything had a more defined edge, colours were psychedelicy and everything looked slightly bigger.

A friend of mine described looking at someone else's face and seing that face age. So the face started normal and aged into a 75yo's face.

Apparently some people see other people's faces wearing glasses when they aren't.

Beards, too.

I've also occasionally experienced at a show thinking there are open circular gaps in the crowd, like there are high-top tables scattered around the venue that people are standing around.

Yes, this! It's a common occurrence with my friends and I.

People wearing glasses, sunglasses, funny and/or weird hats, feathers, and other weird attire. I've "seen" a person with a door handle on his/her shoulder once.

My friends saw faces in a guy beanie, like he had a face on the back of his head like that Harry Potter villain from the first movie

When I was rolling my goat-ass off before I thought I saw a guy in my peripheral vision trying to shake my hand, I turned and held out my hand and there was just a random dude leaning against a wall a meter away from me looking confused as hell.

He just apprehensively shook my hand and I apologized profusely.

When I used to take it clubs a lot, I would always see people with fangs. I've seen my entire leg turn neon blue, which repeated a few months later, but on my arm. Ah, I miss it.

I feel silly saying this, but I saw an angel haha. It was a girl on the dancefloor of a club, she was all white (i'm talking carved out of marble white) and shimmering with gold sparks. I stared at her for about 2 seconds before someone blocked my view, after they moved she was gone.

My lady does not like this hallucination haha.

Common ones for me are seeing the words I'm hearing "typed" out in front of me faintly. Example, I was laying in my friends room having a conversation (or more of listening to my friend talk to me) and every word he said would slightly appear in front of me and it was the oddest thing ever, but pretty damn cool.

My friends looked like they where completely different, this was during after the peak was off and the comedown was starting,

I can't explain but my whole perspective of them changed, they all looked like i just met them, its so scary, weird and all you can do is laugh to get over it.

Another one was with some bomb MDMA my friend had, i had tried nothing like it before i think i took too much and i started seeing shadows people at the bus stop, i thought there where people everywhere around me maybe there was.

Also the Closed-Eye-Visuals are insane; (when i closed my eyes) Once had was seeing tons of faces making expressions at me when i focused on them, like smiling blowing there cheeks just all sorts of random facial expressions, like they where trolling with me .

Another one was i was sitting and giving a mate a head massage, i closed my eyes and i just had my laptop's desktop on focus, clicked on Google Chrome, typed watch family guy online, scrolled through some episodes and picked one after looking through the summary,

I managed to find a link to play it with, pressed play and skipped a few minutes, during skipping the video i began to realise i'm not at home, i open my eyes and i'm still giving my friend a head massage, i burst out laughing and try explain what had happen.

Also tried sleeping, my eyes where closed but i could see through them, this went on for quiet a while.

Another one was i was looking at a paining with many patterns, the texture was worm like, and was moving for quiet a while, i just stared at it as i didn't want it to stop moving if i blinked, i ended up blinking and it was still moving

I just had it once but the teeth from my girlfriend looked like it was just one big tooth that went around the mouth

i've experienced face morphing. my friend turned into snape for a solid minute while we were talking in the dark, shit was freaky haha.

I normally take it at a club, and while there I'll sometimes see someone who looks like someone I met earlier, and I've even chatted to the wrong person sometimes.

Then when I'm coming down and walking home, I will always think I saw someone in my peripheral vision. Every. Single. Time

I've hallucinated fish swimming through the air, signs on doors and windows, smoke in the air, window panes fog up, engravings on metallic items, bubbles floating through the air, a snake wearing a top hat... the list goes on.

The last time, my friend and I rolled at home and I hallucinated a black cat in the room (she doesn't own a cat). I didn't mention it to her, and a few minutes later she told me that she sensed a cat in the room, and then that she saw it just walk inside. It was really trippy.

As you can see, the themes and contexts mentioned by KingDrude and myself are very commonly and consistently reported as part of MDMA's hallucinogenic effects. Face hallucinations and illusions in particular seem to be especially common.

Thanks the the replies, and thank you Kaleida for finding similar reports. It's fun to read what someone else has experienced. Or atleast it was. I can't read further than when they start to describe what they saw and then I cannot bear myself to read further because of fear. My brain haven't really dealt with the experience yet, and I'm more scared now than I was before. Yesterday I couldn't even lay in bed and watch Netflix while I smoke. I had to have the lights on and my headset off with volume on full. It's quite emberrassing to do that when I'm in my twenties, but my brain finds it hilarious to remember this experience whenever I need it the least (going to sleep, when alone, at dark places) It's annoying.

I will be taking a looong break from psycedelics in general. My plan was to try LSD fairly soon, but after this I cannot even begin to imagine bad tripping on LSD when it's effect lasts for 12hrs. If it turns out that I'm like you (Kaleida) and this is the norm on MDMA, I will never take use it again. Especially not with weed. It has taken a toll on me, and deep inside I feel that I'm not entirely the same person I was before this.

It's a shame that an experience like this may ruin my relationship with drugs. But maybe it's a good thing. I don't know.

I thank you for taking the time to find those reports, it's nice to see I'm not the only one and that it probably wasn't another drug I took. I think it's the weed that is making me see these things. 2/2 times on MDMA + weed has resulted in a bad trip. Last time was nothing compared to this as it was just a couple of seconds that repeated itself over and over and over. Everytime I turned to look at my friends they all responded with "what?" as if I'd just said something completely random. Even if I didn't say anything at all. It was a strange experience, whereas this was just straight up a living nightmare.

Knowing they were just hallucinations, and a not-uncommonly reported thing, what reason do you have to still be afraid now? Totally makes sense that you'd be afraid during the experience, but it's only, it didn't mean anything, it was just because you were really, really high. You sound like you're kind of obsessing about it, and creating a negative internal narrative ("deep inside I feel that I'm not entirely the same person I was before this"). If you believe that, then it will become true for you, so my advice is to just try to tell yourself you're fine, because you are. You had a scary experience, that's it, it's over now. I had a trip once where I almost decided to kill myself because I fully believed I was destroying the universe and everything would cease to exist. It was horrifying at the time, but in retrospect it was really fascinating and I count it as one of my best trips. But I could have decided I had damaged myself, that I would never be the same, etc. It's all about how you frame your experiences.

I'm not trying to minimize your feelings, I just don't want to see you end up developing a serious anxiety problem. Literally every story I hear of people talking about their "bad trip" has the same element to it. Sometimes people go on to feel like they haven't been the same since, and every time it seems to be because they obsess over it and constantly try to figure out what's wrong and tell themselves over and over that something is wrong. I've seen it many times over the years on here. And many other times, people describe terrifying experiences that they recover from just fine, and those are the people are don't let themselves fall into worrying about it.

Everytime I read about somebody having a reaction to MDMA, other than extreme euphoria, it is always suggested that the substance was not MDMA but what the OP described is fairly common. Faces changing, glasses on faces and even fruity pebbles you can pluck off your friends face and eat have all happened to me and my friends. I had a friend that kept waiving at, who he said were, raggedy Anne and Andy on MDMA. I have even been transported to lucid dream world's that were exactly like opiate nod dreams..and yes LTC's happened with tested MDMA from the 90's.

Just because your MDMA tests pure, it does not make you immune to unusual and even common adverse reactions. Sounds like it could have been MDMA to me.

 

[KingDrude]

Xorkoth: Thanks for the reply. I really don't know why I was scared afterwards, I just was. I'm doing great now, and the feeling about me being a little different than before the trip is gone. I realize that when thinking about it and obsessing over it, it may cause you to still be afraid of the experience. The days afterwards was not fun. But now I don't think about it, or not atleast in a scary way. I can't remember the details of the experience (and I do not want to read my report again to refresh it) so it doesn't really scare me anymore. Now I'm just trying to figure out why it happened. I want to try other drugs (like LSD) but I do not want to do it if the problem is me. I have Aspergers Syndrome, so that may be why I have reacted negative twice. I will try MDMA again, but not with weed. If I bad trip again, it may not be the weed, but me instead. Or I'm just extremely unlucky.

somnilicious: Thanks for the reply. After getting some feedback on Reddit as well, I have concluded with that is was MDMA, but just a bad reaction. Others suggested that it may have been Meth mixed into it, but I doubt it. Thanks for another argument against it being another drug. Several others reported that this could also happen on MDMA. Some accused me of lying, which I was a bit offended by. Would love for this to be just a lie.

 

[Phobos]

The fact that makes me think it was not MDMA is the fact that you were scared.. You can hallucinate on MDMA, especially with weed and the first times, but you definitely won't feel anxiety or fear.
Regarding the trip reports about hallucinations on MDMA, we do not actually know who had actually taken MDMA out of all the stories, and who had taken something else.

 

[Xorkoth]

Weed is well-known to cause intense paranoia/anxiety on top of psychedelics and MDMA, for some people. I'd venture to say that the majority of bad trips I read about on here, things were fine until weed was added. Honestly, weed is one of the only drugs that gives me anxiety these days, psychedelics on their own very rarely do but I usually just don't smoke weed on psychedelics anymore because of how much anxiety it can give me. A lot of the time I feel like I would have had a better time without it.

High doses of MDMA are well-documented to cause hallucinations and effects rather like delirium.

I totally agree on the weed causing anxiety and changing MDMA and especially psychedelics experiences for the worst.
I would attribute that to the well known effect weed has that impairs your "operational memory" and makes you distracted, and this makes handling the effects of psychedelics extremely difficult.

Honestly the guy said he took 100mg as a starter and an equal booster "on the decline" which I would translate as after the peak.
To me that should not be a dosage likely to cause hallucinations as strong and persistent as described.
Also, normally MDMA has a strong anxiolithic effect that for me persists throughout the high, and has always overpowered the feeling of anxiety caused by weed, for me ofc.

I know this is all anecdotal but I never have seen anybody on reasonable dosages of MDMA display fear of anxiety, even in situations where it would be normal to feel like that.

sounds like it could of had some BZP added in their.

sounds like it could of had some BZP added in their.

Or simply a lot of caffeine. Caffeine is a major anxiety trigger in susceptible people.

I recently tried some caffeine powder. I cant drink tea or coffee at all without hunting tolerable respiratory reaction, (actually the only types of drink I can tolerate except plain water are nettle tea and chamomile tea out of everything I have tried in the world over the past 14 years).

I have been desperately wanting to find some type of stimulant I can tolerate because I am suffering from severe long-term sleep deprivation and fatty quiz makes coping through each day impossible.

I have found that a cup of tea or coffee helps me considerably but causes too much respiratory aggravation so I decided to try some caffeine powder having taken Pro Plus several decades ago but never having liked it.

I took 100mg of caffeine powder, then vaporized some weed which is an everyday activity.

My nervous system is extremely sensitive to substances especially stimulants I expect. I had an extremely bad and severe reaction to the caffeine powder. It really affected my nervous system and my circulation temporarily and cause do some extremely weird symptoms I completely lost the ability to lose my hands at one point and they cramped up also my feet and ankles were freezing cold.

It was largely related to a condition I was in at the time, but essentially my nervous system was overstimulated and I had add a genuine anxiety based panic attack with a very physical nature. I already had in the back of my mind Reasons to be concerned about my health and the possibility of a fatal Circumstance occurring also this was wrongly amplified in My Mind by a doctor who did not really understand what she was telling me.

My reaction was so severe that the time and my panic and anxiety attack was so bad I was really afraid for my life there was something genuinely bad happening and I did visit the hospital which is within sight of my house.

Things gradually settled down but I was really buzzing on the caffeine for quite some hours and my anxiety and panic attack took some real conscious effort to keep at bay and would continue to rise again every time certain thoughts got into my head.

Caffeine can cause more anxiety and panic done virtually any other drug I have ever taken. Its dangerous stuff too, a controversial death recently in Australia put it up in the headlines. Nasty stuff really, dont want that in my ecstasy but it does show up often enough. What it gives you, it takes back 3 times without compromise or compassion, and it comes to collect its debt pretty soon after you have taken it as well.

Redosing lasts half as long and leaves you even less able to function with a comedown like speed in my experiences.
