    Welcome Guest!

My first time rolling.

I would suggest having a little weed, too after you start rolling. Going for walks are fun on E! A lot of people including me enjoy the added feeling. Have fun and be careful! You should write a trip report the next day!

I would suggest you eat only a light meal before you take your pill.
Leave at least two hours between eating and taking the pill.
You didn't mention if you were on any kind of medication. Some kinds of meds can have bad reactions with mdma.
Also I would suggest you take half a pill at first and the other half a full hour later if you are feeling okay.
Everybody's made lots of good suggestions, so apart from the meds warning you're ready to go.

I'm not on any kind of medication other than hay-fever tablets, but that's about it - that shouldn't really effect me right? I haven't taken then for about a week though.

And to everyone else, great suggestions and advice. I will definitely be writing a trip report the next day and I will take as many measures as I can to stay safe. I will take the advice of drinking some vitamin c as I have heard this is effective from other friends. And most of you have advised I should just take half a pill and the other half within an hour, so I will be doing this.

Thanks again guys for the replies, much appreciated.

Andy.
 
if you don't get good pills, you wont feel anything from 1 half and probably be pretty underwhelmed once you take your other half. if i were you i'd make sure i have at least 2 pills so you roll for sure.

Okay so this is the dosage for me the, the next day I will be posting my trip report.

Peace. Andy.
 
From experience I would say antihistamine has no noticeable interaction with mdma. Although I suspect that if you're on antihistamine the hangover is not as severe.
 
Btw, you can't simply say that either one or two pills is a good dose, should be depended on the amount of MDxx inside! I'm not sure what the official guidelines are, but I think there is a guideline based upon your weight. (I hope that it's possible for you to get to that pill-information). And don't feel rushed to pop them in quick, you can always start slowly and wait for the onset before taking more; nothing wrong with that! I usually take my pills in halves, I have the idea that the whole trip gets smoother, without the peak, strong comedown and then craving for another one...

Anyhows, enjoy!
 
To answer your first question, the splint device you have will certainly help with the clenching. Can you describe the specific issues your TMJ causes (I'm familiar with it, but not insanely well informed). It's also been said that preloading with magnesium can help reduce clenching. Either way, if your TMJ isn't horrible, and you use your split (or chew some gum or have something else to chew on... I personally like baby teething toys) -- you should be fine in this regard.

In my experiences, MDMA hasn't so much as caused an "emotional workout" for me. But then again, I have no diagnosed psychological issues (depression, etc). With the current attitude you have towards MDMA, I'd say you are in a good mental frame to fire away with the molly. A 'bad' trip will most likely not be in the cards for you.

As far as rolling alone goes, I'd recommend you post up somewhere comfy (bedroom perhaps?) and surround yourself with lots of playthings of various textures (soft, fuzzy, smooth, rough... you get the idea), as you will probably be content to sit/lay there and just touch things. Make sure to have a nice playlist of whatever music you like. Just be warned... At some point you will probably WANT to be sociable and talk to somebody (or everybody!). While this desire shouldn't be enough to make you upset (if you can't find somebody to call or whatever), just be prepared to want contact with another being (rolling alone with my dog was good enough for me... fuzzy belly and puppy ears = win).

Anywho... I hope this covers some of your inquiries! Have fun! =)

…i was wondering if I could piggy-back onto this thread for a couple questions. i was going to use a single (~.1g) hit of "molly" that I obtained indirectly from a music festival. i have a few concerns and questions…cool if you answer them!

i have done pot (extensively), mushrooms (10+ times), and LSD (twice), which I feel may relate at least (if only?) to the psychs in time-duration to the MDMA experience...

i have started smoking marijuana again and it feels great and i'm getting no paranoia or anxiety. but, socially, i still suffer with social anxiety and have been diagnosed with Dysthymia (mild, long depression, supposedly). i plan to take it alone. i know on mushrooms, i've had equally great (but varied) experiences using them with other, and alone. because i'll be alone, i guess i have more concern for introducing a new substance to my body.

-- jaw tension (i have TMJ!!!!!) but I also have a splint device that clips onto the bottom four front teeth (NTI) which prevents the molars from contacting during sleep - this will obviously HELP OUT, but will the MDMA just be too stressing for someone with TMJ?

-- the experience. one of my favorite parts about mushrooms is there capacity to cause emotions that feel so deep and often overlap and mingle together. i am very much ready for an emotional workout, that's fine. and the idea of exploring myself, and coming to accept myself (AND OTHERS) seems great, also ego softening too, as i'm having some issues and seeing a psychiatrist. these psychological issues people often point to and say are a BAD "set" for tripping, but i've read that MDMA can be useful to "work on" some issues? should i be afraid of a "bad trip"?

Some people can become extremely introspective and go into a "bad roll" if left to their own devices. I've seen it happen a couple times and they seem quite traumatised.

MDMA is not something I would do alone as it's a social drug and it's nice to have someone to help you work through things (if not just a sitter like many people have with psychedelics). It seems as though you're approaching this with the attitude you'd give a psychedelic and, as an entactogen, it really is its own thing. I absolutely loathe MDMA alone, although some enjoy it.

I have TMJ. I also have a fucked up jaw now from doing MDMA with TMJ. It took many uses before I finally messed up my jaw (I have to shift my jaw left now when opening my mouth, although I do so now subconsciously without thinking about it unless someone brings it up), but this is no guarantee. You will most likely be fine, but I can't answer this without being honest about my own personal experience.

also, the touching and music aspect -- the in-the-moment high if you will -- sounds great. as for chewing gum, honestly i can't do that now or else i'll get pains later on in the day.

honestly.... the day after a good roll, my jaw is always ridiculously sore... so regardless of the gum, you're probably gonna be a little tender afterwards.

granted: everyone is different, but I'm just giving you an idea of what to potentially expect.

the thing about seeing and possibly overcoming any social anxiety while on the drug... is that if you're doing it solo... you're not really going to encounter any situations which would allow you to overcome said anxiety (...did that make sense to you?).
 
^^^ Wasn't trying to make you feel daft in the slightest! You have some valid ideas. Let me just explain how it's gone for me, and maybe it will make more sense.

Typically, when in places I'm not familiar with and around people I don't know, I become very very introverted and keep to myself... I'm kind of a buzz kill. I don't go out of my way to talk to people, and will usually make minimal conversation with anybody that does talk to me. But, around people and places I know, I'm as bubbly and outgoing as can be.

However, when rolling, even if I'm someplace I've never been before and around people I've never met before -- the outgoing me comes out in force. I will talk to and interact with anyone and everyone. It's like your 'embarrassment switch' is turned off and you really don't care what anyone thinks. You just go for it. And after a good night of meeting people and making friends, I find that the self confidence remains. Thus, social anxiety can be dealt with bit by bit!

When I've rolled alone, I don't tend to do a lot of self reflection or soul searching. I pop on some awesome music and just vibe. I find that I enjoy feeling at one with everything and just kind of melt away.

You may have a different experience. If you roll alone, it very well could produce some satisfactory effects as far as working on your own issues goes. It certainly wouldn't hurt anything! I'm just saying that, one of my favorite parts of rolling is being around people and the social aspect of it.

Either way, be safe and responsible and you will have a fantastic (and perhaps enlightening) time!
 
try a menthol cigarette. im not a smoker but its one of my favorite things to do when im rolling :)

also if u know any seasoned ravers that are GOOD at light shows, give them a call and see if theyll come by and give you a light show. Keyword: GOOD. it sucks when some one is just waving lights randomly in your face and don't move well with the music.
 
2 small experiences I would like to add + again the warning:

"as for chewing gum, honestly i can't do that now or else i'll get pains later on in the day."
My jaws aren't always going like Crazy, that varies a bit, but they Are Alway under either more tension than usual. So, I am quite sure that you will experience pains the day after.

experience one: Lately met a new friend, talked a bit, he indicated he would like to have a xtc pill for the first time, and I knew he prepared himself enough (asked him a few questions about it). So as soon as he swallowed the pill, I added "you know what, drugs is nearly always okay if you're feeling okay" to which he responded: Yeah I know, but I am really unstable lately because of this and that and that... Despite that though, he had a great time that evening (as I expected with M, serotonine can't bring you down as far as I know). He did have a nice setting around him though, music and people to talk to.

experience 2: I did take a pill by myself once while at home. I can't say I Hated it, but I must say it felt like quite a waste of the pill, and I was very restless during the rolling. I just didn't know what to do with the energy and feelings.

I've done some psychedelics, and I know how they can give you some kind of insight, introspection, something to gain. M doesn't have that at all, really.
The only way I would say that it would add something to your situation is by taking it when there are other people around. I absolutely love it to 'suddenly' be able to talk to random people or have just better conversations with friends than usual. That is something that I sometimes remind myself of when i'm doubting to talk to people I don't know.

So, that is my advice. But if you are determined for your own reasons to do it alone, than blazif said it almost perfectly: "it certainly wouldn't hurt anything". It should be "it certainly wouldn't hurt anything except your jaws" :p.

But either way, I hope you will get a nice experience and hopefully personal gain out of it.
