tbh, ive done the BL approach and been very restricted on when we took our drugs (MDMA, LSD, pot, booze, etc). I had a good time drinking, GREAT time on L, and decent time rolling by breaking it down Friday, Roll, Saturday, L, sunday weed booze.
I've also been 100% completely irresponsible at my last festival and had a GREAT time, keeping in mind i waited around 3 months (and a few days, but who's counting
) since my last MDMA experience to prep for the assault on my brain.
Original plan, roll at night on first day, roll at night on third day. drink and smoke on 2nd day.
Things changed :naughty face:
We got to the festival late on friday, (started at 11am, got there around 3pm) A really good dj that has something to do with consumption in his name and is dubstep/electro was playing, amongst a solid line-up of sick DJs the rest of the day/night (this was the best day as far as acts were concerned, just shitty headliner). My best friend said "fuck it, gimme my mint now," so, our entire group NOM NOM NOMs their first mint. about an hour later, he asks for a half, everyone noms half of their second mint (keep in mind we only had 2 each for the ENTIRE weekend). a few hours later, everyone noms their other half. So now its about 8pm or so and we're "completely out" of our mdma (i was smart and nabbed a few more mints for "emergency purposes").
Everyone comes down just fine, but wants to go out, my friend busts out one of the "hidden mints" at about 11pm and splits it with me, we go out to the bars.
Next day we wake up just fine and i had enough mints for everyone to have another, was planning on saving for sunday but thought id bring them "just in case." Of course, as soon as we get there after a hard rock show and plenty of moshing, my friends all want mints. We scour the crowd (its really easy to find mints in chicago, u just yell "MINTS?!") and eventually grab up another 10 or so. I decide to save mine and hand out a bunch to everyone. I give a lightshow to a kid who offers me some LSD, i give it to a friend. I now want to be on their level and we go to an afterparty. i drop a mint and ROLL BALLS.
next day, I've saved 3 mints, one for me, my gf, and her friend. We go out to the show, everyone drops another mint (after scouring the crowd) so i take a half, then about 30 minutes later decide "fuck it" and take the other half. Everyone else has had 2-3 mints by this point. I split the last mint (as my gf and her friend dont want to roll) between me and a buddy and sell the last mint to him as well (so we could both have a mint and a half).
I felt fine, just kinda tired for about 3 days after, and pretty much spent the entire weekend (except saturday and sunday during the DAY) rolling. We broke every rule (no re dosing, dont dose during come down, dont roll while wasted, roll once a month at most, dont roll many days in a row, etc) and NOBODY really had a bad come down at all. I took a ton of pre and post load supplements (pirecetam, 5htp, multivitamins, etc) and drank a shit ton of gatorade and water, and also took lorazepam for about a week after the experience.
I feel fine, i dont feel dumb, i was just a little unmotivated and tired at work for the first week, but still got my shit done.
The point is, everyone is different, if you do what you really want and your body tells you that its okay, go for it! Just don't make a habit of going "festival mode" on your drugs a lot and you'll be fine. I'm going to wait a few more weeks but theres another festival coming up, i will only attend one day as i know what i will do if i go all three. I'm gonna roll, and its gonna be epic. 1 month in between is pushing it a little after that kind of consumption.
note: for harm reduction sake, i really dont recommend doing this, one night i took it too far and ate 2mg lorazepam, an adderall, a mint, and was pretty drunk, and i blacked out after i got a concussion from extreme eye wiggles while walking down a huge staircase and texting on my phone (i fell and landed on my head) i think thats actually where the negative side effects (tired, unmotivated, temporary amnesia) came from.
however, i didnt die, i didnt get seriously hurt (in my opinion) and i had a great time.
