really quick question!

Today I started having a sore throat (white bumps in the back of my throat). I have no other symptoms like running nose, fever, cough but I'm very prone to getting tonsillitis or strep throat infections so this could potentially be something bigger than just a sore throat. Would it be a bad idea to take MDMA/ecstasy tomorrow night? Has anyone ever done this before? And if it is a bad idea, any explanations? Thank you!

If you're dealing with any kind of infection, taking a drug (like MDMA) that can weaken your immune system and keep your body from fighting it off is of course stupid.

Not to mention if you have a dry throat that could dehydrate you more during your roll.... and of course rolling or taking any drug when you're sick isn't going to be anywhere near as fun as taking it when you're not sick


So, no. Wait till it clears up. It's not like your MDMA will go bad lmao

Listen to Folley! I've never tried rolling while sick, but over the past few months, I've consistently gotten some variety of upper respiratory infection a few days after rolling, every single time. Last weekend, I finally managed to avoid it by being obsessive about vitamins, sleep, water, etc. both before and after. MDMA weakens your immune system, allowing bacteria/viruses to run amok. So if you're already getting sick, it will probably make your symptoms much worse than they would be otherwise. If you're going to do it, though, you probably stand a better chance doing it in a more relaxed, low-exertion setting (chilling at home vs. at a rave)-- because dancing/overheating/not eating/staying up all night will further stress your body.

I rolled with a throat infection 4 months ago and im still coughing now. Dont know if its due to the rolling tho. My doc couldnt find anything wrong and after the antibiotics the infection cleared up. I just have this nasty cough that wont go away :/

Feel perfectly fine and healthy otherwise. I wouldn't risk it tho. Wait it out and roll balls next time!
