So my friend is thinking about dropping some molly with me at a rave coming up. He is sorta paranoid because he gets overheated pretty easily while sober. He smokes weed but wants me to post this just to be sure...Any thoughts?
 
Obviously a big problem. He has overheating issues when sober? Any diagnosed conditions?


Serotonin helps control body temperature, when you release massive amounts of it (like on MDMA), your body has a hard time dealing with these fluctuations and body temperature can raise or drop significantly. At a rave this can be a large problem, especially when the room your in is over 100 degrees by itself!

Fortunately, most raves and clubs (at least, around here.) have a "smokers section" that is outside. I would stay near there the whole time, obviously still enjoy yourself but keep some escape routes on hand so if you DO get too hot you can just go chill outside for a bit until you're cooled down. Or try and find a rave that allows you to enter and leave as you please, so you can go for a stroll around the block if you must.



It shouldn't be a HUGE worry unless he has some kind of condition, but obviously being safer is better than sorry
 
Test your stuff, if theres speed in it and the more of it the more you will heat up! Nothing gets me running hotter than meth and MDMA, can literlly feel heatwaves comming off my body when sitting on the toilet on the combo.

The only tips I can give is keep track of your mate, keep hydrated but dont overdo it as you retain water on MDMA and excess water on it can cause its own problems. Keep going outside to cool down, wear appropriate clothing to dissipate heat.

My favourite tip that I always do is pour water over my head and let it trickle down, sometimes down my back aswell and it feels fucking amazing haha. Just dont overdo the fast dancing as I always do :P
 
Thanks everyone! He has no condition just gets hot in the face area pretty easily. I will definitely watch over him! And make sure he is informed of any possible risks. Thanks again!
 
If there is amphetamine in your pill, you are much more likely to get overheating problems. If you can, test your gear before dropping.
Watch out for your friend during the roll. At the slightest sign of overheating get him somewhere cool and splash him with water.
 
Yeah, I think if you're just aware of it, it should be fine. I sometimes take those cheap, Chinese-style fans with me to parties so that I can stand back and fan my face if I need to (always a big hit). Even just going for a nice stroll away from the main body of the crowd can make a big difference in terms of body temperature - and there's the bonus of how awesome it'll feel to stretch your legs. My big problem is that the warmer I am, the harder I seem to roll, so I can get a little reckless with not stripping off layers and getting air, even when I can feel sweat pouring down my body (bad, I know). I think when you've got someone else also looking out for you it probably helps though.
 
I over heat pretty easy my self in the "Normal" world.. Just doing normal stuff.. House cleaning, moving our home, being out with the kids ect..

While I have gotten warm and even hot while on MDMA I have never over heated from it.. I stay hydrated, Cold water ect.. If your out or at home.. paper towels that are wet you can wrap them around your cold water bottle then place in on that back of your neck or have your friend wipe you down with it starting on your face... or take a washcloth with you that wet in the bathroom for the same reason..

You just have to pay attention to your surroundings.. it you are at a club/ rave/ party make sure you get cold air off and on again
