Summertime Beach Roll

It's been quite some time but hey I remember it like it was yesterday. :3

The date was August 12th, 2012 when two friends and I decided to catch the skytrain down into the heart of Vancouver, English Bay. It was my friend E's (not trying to make a pun or anything, her name starts with an E) first time and my friend K's second. That day K and I had 4 pills in total of tested MDMA, going off of what my brother said about them (he had two the night before and said it wasn't too intense) we decided to double drop them while E had about 3/4's of one of our last batches cap.

We all dosed at the same time and went on a fantastic walk along Vancouvers sea wall overlooking a few marina's and the bay, we continued to a lagoon set inland a bit and sat down there a bit because K had started to feel a bit nauseous, I told her that this is perfectly normal and that it is not something to be very worried about. After a few minutes of laying in the grass listening to some music over the ipod dock K decided to try and vomit. My friend E went with her behind some bushes out of sight on a very lightly traveled trail, I was unsure if I should have followed or not in case K was embarrassed or something.

During this time alone I definitely started to feel the drug take hold. For me it was not too intense, I've dealt with harsher come ups before, that's for sure! My friend E returned looking to something to help K vomit, I found an unopened tooth brush in my bag from the that I got from the dentist a while back and happily handed it over, still unsure if I would be welcome back there. Eventually they both emerged and K told me she was unable to vomit (which it normal for her anyways) so I offered her some Gatorade and gum which she gladly accepted. After a few minutes I convinced her to sit upright instead of laying down on her back, the second she sat up I saw her face light up with joy and pure ecstasy. Boom! Just like that all negative feelings gone and she was ready to get up and trek on.

As we were gathering up our things a group of German tourists on bikes approached us and asked us for directions. Since we live in the suburbs both K and I were completely clueless and unable to help but E who was starting to feel the effects of her dose at that point happily directed the tourists as she knows Vancouver like a well educated tourist. As we ventured on along the path around the lagoon I noticed a few tortoises just hanging out in the lagoon on surfacing logs and stones. It was a bad idea to point it out because immediately K wanted to go in after them! Seeing how we were getting into a more public place E and I took control of the situation and told her, "Would a sober 18 year old girl go swimming in a muddy lagoon after a tortoise?" She got the hint and fought her inner child until we cleared that lagoon.

We were now on a path with a small creek the our left and a forest on our right heading towards the ocean, as we approached the end on the path we reminded K to be on her best behavior as we were about to embark through a park with a playground and all. We walked through the park and passed the playground and continued onto a continuation of the sea wall we were previously on. There was a concession stand selling popsicles so both K and E got one then we continued onto the beach.

We walked along the beach for a bit enjoying the sensation of sand on our bare feet. We found a quieter spot along the beach and set up camp, pulled out the ipod dock again and started our summer playlist. At this point my friend K decided to drink her one Stella Artois she brought from home while E and I just laid back in the sun and enjoyed the atmosphere. After K drank her beer she and I decided it was time for a swim, and oh man was that a good idea... :)

I honestly cannot describe swimming in the ocean on a hot sunny day in august while on mdma... I could try but wouldn't even cover half of what I want to say.

Sadly swimming was cut short when K decided to do a full on dive in 3 feet of water, I guess that's why you shouldn't mix drugs and water. Anyways no serious injuries, she scrapped up her face a tad on a rock but nothing that wouldn't heal. After that incident I told her to get into shallower water or and sit down in it or to just get out (fearing another, more serious injury.) We both wander back to shore and go straight back to the tunes. E was doing fine, mind you she didn't take a full dose but she was happy with it, K decided to start to build a sand castle and wow was it ever a castle. Complete with water defensive's and armored shell walls, sadly three lady bugs lost their life in the process of building it. I honestly don't know how but K kept finding and killing (by accident) lady bugs in the sand.

After we all peaked and had some time to mellow out we decided to continue the walk along the sea wall which headed to the busiest part of the beach and back into more populated area. Of course at this point I had adventure music blasting from the speaking in my bag making it all that much more epic. I turned down the music when we started to approach the main drag down to english bay, as we walked a bit further we noticed a slick little pub on the beach front. We were all underage but had fake id's that got us each a nice cool drink.

After chilling there for a bit we paid our tab and tipped VERY generously and continued on our way. As we exited the pub we bumped into someone we went to highschool with who didn't even question that we were exciting a pub. Talked to her for a bit and went on our merry way without her knowing that we were rolling face.

As we randomly wandered the streets of Vancouver we made that mistake of going into another bar... this is where it kinda gets messy. Since it was K's bithday (the main reason we rolled that day) and E was going away in three days to attend collage in teh states I decided to buy us all a pitcher to split. In hindsight I wish we just kept walking because I drank most of that pitcher myself. E had a glass and then had to take off to meet another friend, at this point we were all definitely coming down. It was much more obvious for K and I that we were coming down apposed to E because she was never fully up there but she seemed good enough to be able to venture on by herself.

After E left K and I finished the pitcher and just chilled for a bit in the bar. After we finished the pitcher we decided it was time to start heading home, so we headed out the door and started walking. Took us a while but we made it back to the skytrain and boarded it looking forward to getting into the comforts of our own homes.

Around 30ish minutes later we get off the train and wait for our bus at the bus loop still feeling the effects of the mdma taken earlier. We hopped on our bus and blasted music through our earbuds until my stop came. I asked her if she was okay to go home and if not I suggested just hanging out at the park until she felt normal enough to deal with parents and siblings. She told me she was fine so I happily walked home pumping some Feed Me.

That was by far I think my best roll. Not necessarily because it was the best mdma I've had or because it was the longest, but because of the general atmosphere and that I got to share it with my two best friends.

If you can handle yourself in public I would really suggest to try a beach roll!

That's what I remember for now, I'll edit it if I remember anything else, hope you enjoyed. :)
