I doubt there will ever exist a drug that gives a more enlightening high then MDMA...
At least for me...
I have learned that far too many people are pushed into the set life path of "go to primary school, graduate with a diploma, go to college and get a degree, graduate, get job, find wife, have kid or three, grow old, retire, die."
And how much will you have accomplished in this life?
Why not instead live for those around you, instead of trying so hard to live for yourself? Imagine if everyone just focused a little bit less on themselves and a little more on helping those around them?
Now imagine if everyone went along with this? How much would that good will towards your friends come back to you from each and every one of them?
You don't have to abandon your life goals, just try to do something good for someone when you have the ability.
Also, openness.... Most people are way too concerned about what their friends think of them. You should be open and honest to the fullest amount you are comfortable of. If your friend doesn't like you for who you really are, they weren't worth it in the first place. Be real, to yourself and others.
Its great for becoming close friends with people, both in what i have been talking about and just doing bk with friends. We have had wild nights on methylone, i still have bruises on my chest from my friends girlfriend biting me about 40 times hard enough to leave marks for days. Friend was completely aware and consenting of it.
Who can say they are that close to their friends? Most people cut people off at their "bubble"... we have our mouths on each others bodies.
Also some very productive conversations with friends, my level of personal openness astounds people. I am very open about the topic of sex, its such an everyday thing and no one ever talks about it whether your having it or not, its probably been on your mind at least enough to matter. If you can openly talk about sex with your friends, how easy is it to be open with someone your actually having sex with?
And I will just have conversations with friends and share some weirdness. And a few people talk to me later on and tell me that they tried something and liked it. I got a couple friends to branch out a lot, and i think that is a great thing. If you can't be comfortable with your partner in what you like, they are not for you. Just like friends, if they turn away from you for you being who you are, they weren't worth it in the first place.
MDMA helped me a lot, it gave me a wonderful sense of empathy for those around me and helped get me out of my shell.... And that empathy stuck to me. Methylone pretty much only lacks empathy, and i think that is because it lacks the oxytocin push and i am ok with that. I would not feel comfortable around my friend's girlfriend on MDMA, i know that feelings would develop even if not intended. No matter how you see me, if an awesome headrub and backrub for like an hour happen, those positive sensations are going to be associated with me and not her boyfriend. So I want them to do it together by themselves.
