Non-rolling friends

[pod]

Last night, a friend of mine called me up to tell me that "dr drew" on loveline was gonna do a thing on the dangers of ecstasy. I was a bit out of sorts (a few pints out of sorts) and told her that MTV was bullshit and that the dangers of e are still unproven, and that even if there are dangers, it's probably no less dangerous than smoking pot (which she does from time to time)...plus the fact that I keep my rolling to a biweekly schedule minimizes the effect...I spouted off a few of the standard ecstasy.org lines to her, and she went into hysterics that we could be killing ourselves, and that people die from taking E and all that...needless to say, I'm wondering how you all handle the non-rolling friends you have?
Also, I got into a debate of "Is a pill with no MDMA ecstasy?" (i.e. MDA, MDE, DXM?)

Has your friend that hasn't rolled hung out with you when you have been? I find that, when they sit there and observe how rolling people interact and how much fun they have, they become curious themselves. Often times enough to actually try it. Also, show her all your webpages. Such as Erowids, ecstasy.org, etc. Tell her you do your reseach and are not running into this blindly.

MDA, MDMA, MDEA, MDE can all be put into a pill and be called ecstasy. All of these will produce ecstasy like feelings. Some with visuals, some with more empathetic feeling.
DXM can be called ecstasy, but my street terms the effect is not ecstasy like.
My knowledge keeps my non-rolling friend in check. Anything they have to say i have something to back it up with. So know your Role my friend, then you will find your true meaning in life.

Since we're on the topic of non-rolling friends, what are your guys' feelings about rolling with people who aren't? I thought it might be weird. . . but last weekend, there were 3 of us rolling w/ one guy who doesn't even drink (ACK!), and it wasn't bad at all. Of course he's a close friend of mine, and I told him what to expect, and we were at a rave, so it's a different kind of deal, but I found myself to be quite comfortable with it. I don't know if a different person / situation might change that, I was kind of worried. But I was just curious to see what anyone else thought.

My bf did not seem to mind. The first time i rolled in SF, he did not. The boy really liked it when I got all lovey-dovey up though P Yeah .. longest kiss ever.

i have a somewhat related question...does anyone out there have younger brothers/sisters that you haven't partied with due to age difference?? my younger brother is turning 18 and i've never partied with him (mainly because i've been away at college), but just wondering your thoughts on partying/rolling with family?? (weird or not?)

If you like your brother and get along well, I don't see any reason not to party with him. I in fact am getting my parents some for new years. I won't be with them but, they will be with my grandparents. My grandparents and my parents always party (not with X, this will be the 1st time), and have a lot of fun. So I say go for it.

RE: Rolling w/ siblings. My brother just turned 18 and back when I first started rolling last year he showed quite an interest, but evidently was of his teachers did the whole x is so dangerous because it has coke and heroine in it reutines, and even though he doesn't give me grief about it anymore, his interest has greatly decreased. Neither of us smoke bud, but he drinks like a fish. Now, one of my friends took her little brother to harvest fest w/us, and he rolled for the first time. Also, I know the first time she did shrooms, she did it w/ her younger brother and sister. They have a really good relationship w/ one another, and I was really pleased to watch them roll and bond together...I think I made a new friend that night

Anyway, my brother and I are real close and I would love to share the whole E thing w/ him. Good luck.

On a positive note (as a break from my last few posts) I have a friend who always had a strained relationship with his older brother. He started rolling, and shortly after rolled with his brother a few times..I don't know what exactly happened between them during the roll, but they grew so much closer together, I wouldn't have believed, except I saw it with my own eyes. If mdma's toll on the body and mind is reduced my the medical community in the upcoming years, it boggles the imagination how it could be used.

first time i ever rolled was this summer at woodstock with my younger bro. he had already tried e, and it was my first time. it was a pretty neat experience, especially when things went all to hell and people started a glostick war. imagine thousands of looted glosticks in every colour of the rainbow flying through the air. from one side of the campsite across the road to the other side. unfuckingreal went on for hours!

Well for me my sister was the one that introduced me to all the rave/ecstacy scene. On my birthday week she invited me to this rave in a wearhouse and her boyfriend and her just simply gave me the bean.i think it was a sunshine,well the thing is that i ate it and wow!!! i was hit whith a trainjust simply loved it... and since then the relationship between us is like more solid we now never have discusions or nothing like that... and now we recluted my cousin and she is loving it too...roll whith your family so when your are in a family reunion you have something good to talk about....jejeje
Peace!

i guess i have a different perspective - i am the younger sibling. my older sister (much older, 8 years) was there for a lot of my first drug experiences, which i was really happy about, i think it's helped us become much closer. i don't know, somewhow her sharing that part of her life with me made me feel more like she had started seeing me as an equal/friend instead of her little sister.

Thanks for all the input

I back up my rolls so to speak..I even have a testing kit now

Like I've said in other posts, me and my rolling friends have been referred to as 'x-scientists' from time to time...we did the homework, in other words..

This friend of mine, though, tends to go hysterical at the drop of a hat, so that explains it somewhat...she's definitely curious about rolling (doesn't admit it) but she has a thing with her boyfriend that if either of them ever roll, they'll break up...she has a major case of e-paranoia ...
thanks again all

The first time I rolled was with my little sister. It was her second time, she's tried it a couple weeks earlier. It was a great experience and she's definetly one of my favorite people to roll with. Brought us a lot closer together too, I would now consider her one of my better friends. We were close before but it was really a big sister-little siter type relationship. I didn't feel that I could share everything with her because I felt that there was a certain role I had to play, like I couldn't just be a person around her, i always had to have the answers, i couldn't make mistakes. Now all of that is gone and I think we really see each other as people. Anyway, I would highly recommend rolling with family, it's a great way to bring people together.
