So, I tried to plug a pill the other day and nothing really happened. I felt a very slight body buzz but thats it...I was wondering if maybe I did it wrong??? (put the pill in whole) or maybe my tolerance is just too high? or maybe I just needed more than one pill? what do you think?:\
BTW, I weigh 195 and am 6'1"
 
You cannot just put a whole pill in your bum and expect it to dissolve. Your rectum is nothing at all like your stomach, it doesn't have the ability to break down substances the way that your stomach does. Dissolving a whole pill would take a very long time.

You should crush up the pill to a powder and mix it with a bit of water to make it a solution. You then want to take a baby syringe (purchased at your local pharmacy...it doesn't contain a needle, its actually used to administer oral medication to infants) and draw the solution to the syringe and then put it in your bum and squirt the solution in. Your sphincter muscle will hold the solution in there so there is no worry of the solution leaking out.

I hope that this helps.

Please feel free to check out the Plugging section of the ED directory, you can find the link in my signature or click on the header in the ED main forum.
 
I have been thinking about trying this, is there that much of a difference

Plugging is a great option for people who experience gastrointestinal issues when the take mdma orally. So people who experience upset stomach, nausea, vomiting...etc would benefit greatly from plugging as anal administration bypasses the stomach completely.

As far as the bioavailability is concerned, while it seems as though you would actually absorb more of the pill, I'm not sure now that this is actually true. I'm not sure that actual research exists. Let's see if someone else chimes in on that piece.

i was under the impression that upset stomach/nausea was caused by the large amounts of serotonin being released in that area. normally i feel it before my roll is about to start.

anyone know a bit more about this?

Yes, the bioavailability is higher if you plug. Any substance that's metabolized hepatically will skip out on first-pass metabolism (the fancy name for blood coming from the stomach lining/small intestines first passing through the liver for filtration) if you plug it.

Now, whether this really makes much of a difference is debatable. MDMA isn't linearly dose-dependent, so it's hard to say how much more, say, 180mg is going to do for you as opposed to 150mg. If you need that extra amount to reach MDMA's critical threshold, then it'd be helpful. If you're already taking enough to kick off MDMA's method of action, then it'd be less helpful (if even noticeable). In my personal experience, rolling on 200mg+ of MDMA feels just as good as rolling on 150mg, but that's just me. Most people subscribe to the camp of "more is always better", I think. 8)

You're right for the most part. :) Aside from the brain, the gut has the highest expression of serotonin receptors in your body, where they're used to signal bowel contractions, etc. The onset of stomach-related issues involving serotonin would occur around when you started to roll, so I think that acute issues (i.e. within the first thirty minutes of dropping) could be blamed on the contents of the pill itself irritating your stomach. In that case, plugging would definitely help.

yeah you cant put a whole pill in your butt cant disolve it like your body can when its swallowed (nothing is meant to go in that way in the first place) you need it to be crushed up and inserted some how if you can figure out a way to insert it then itll be the best roll of your life
 
i've never plugged an ecstasy pill but i've plugged mdma powder. It definitely takes a smaller dosage to get to the equivalent spot as oral but I found it almost completely stoning and pretty much lacked any sort of a rush. I like it better than snorting but I still prefer oral the best.
 
I recently tried this for the first time in a port-a-pottie at Burning Man. Broke off about a forth of the pill and shoved it in as deep as it would go, which wasn't very deep due to the dryness and sharp edges. It burned a bit but seemed to boost the experience a lot---the comeup was REALLY harsh for me, but not my friends, and I've never been that high off MDMA (or anything?) before.

I swallowed the other 3/4ths of it, btw :)
