It concerns me how much misinformation is out there about MDMA, even among people who say they're seasoned users. Here's my little story-
I was at a rave last Saturday, waiting in line at the restroom when I struck up a conversation with a young raver girl. Wide eyed and full of smiles she told me this was her first time rolling. As I tried to think up some words of wisdom another girl came out of no where and this was the conversation we had:
Miss Information: This is your first time rolling!?
Little Raver: Yes!
Miss Information: Do you have any water? You NEED to drink water.
Little Raver: No... I don't have any. Why, is that really important?
Miss Information: Yes! If you don't drink water when you're rolling you WILL fry your brain.
Me: Woah, wait-
Little Raver: I'll fry my brain!? (She started looking very very scared.)
Me: You're not going to fry your brain-
Miss Information: You WILL fry your brain. You need to be drinking lots and lots of water.
Me: Drinking too much water is just as dangerous as not drinking enough. Just drink when you're thir-
Miss Information: Do you have any money for water?
Little Raver: Er, no...
Me: (Hands her two bucks, Miss Information takes this from me and runs out to get the girl water.) Look, just drink water when you're thirsty. Drinking too much can be dangerous too. Don't let the girl scare you, you'll be fine.
Miss Information: (Returns with water) Now makes sure to drink a bottle of water at LEAST every hour. Oh, and don't sit on the speakers while rolling. Your lungs WILL collapse.
Later I caught the girl alone and reassured her that she'd be just fine. I even gave her my number so she could ask me any questions or what not.
And even later I found a boy who told me that he knows E will put holes in his brain, but he's done it 4 times in the last month anyway *facepalm*. After a little chat he decided it might be a good idea to save E for once a month and agreed that it was too good of a feeling to abuse and "lose the magic."
Anyway, it disturbs me that so many people can take this wonderful drug and NOT have done a little research about it or anything. And how many people not only believe rumors but go as far as to spread them to new comers and scare the crap out of them.
I know no Bluelighters are gonna go around raves and give newbies something to stress over, but have you guys met any others spreading misinformation?
