Question for you all, as MXE users is it your favorite drug? And also what is your ONE favorite drug besides MXE
When I used MXE heavily it
was my favorite drug. I was really into opioids at that time too and I preferred MXE over them by a long shot. I still used them often in combination with MXE but eventually it was only to keep w/d at bay.
When it ran out (the MXE) I had a month or so where I really craved it and always thought about getting more. After two months of no use I rarely thought about it and the urge to order more went away. I'm about three years removed from that time now and I can say that I prefer most things over MXE. However, if I am offered MXE I will take it because it is a lot of fun. MXE knocks me over the head now though and I rarely have enough at one time to use over the course of many days like I did in the past. So I'll shoot for a hole and enjoy what I can get out of it. I've only used it twice in the last few years.
For me early use of MXE was like finding the holy grail. It seemed like the best things ever, it seemed like it had no down sides (no withdrawal) and everyone that I tried it with loved it. The desire to re-dose and keep it going was a problem right from the very first session I had with it. My friend and I did bumps for an entire night and continued til about noon the next day. I cut us off then with the intention of putting it away for the next weekend. I ended up spending the night again at his place. The next morning I knew I wanted to try it again and railed a line before he woke up. When his wife left for work I confessed that I had done more and he was all too eager to accept a line for himself.
For me that was the main issue with it, it doesn't feel like there is a downside and the desire to keep using it is very strong. It isn't like cocaine or opioids where you gotta have the fix. It's way more subtle than that, almost like it tricks you into thinking "Well it really isn't THAT bad". It changes your behavior and personality subtly as well. You become a bit blunted and I personally found myself searching for proper words and felt that my thought processes were slowed down for many weeks after I ceased using it.
I don't knock this drug, I love it. But I always caution people that it comes with down sides. I don't think there are many people around that could have a large bag of this laying around and not constantly want to do it. Unless you have great self control it's advisable only to keep a little bit of it around at any given time.
Oh and one last tidbit: I once experienced a manic state on MXE during my bout of heaviest use. It wasn't an everyday use pattern, more like 2-3 days on 1-2 days off. I had a lot of the stuff and was afraid to take it on an airplane, so the natural solution was the share it with a large group of friends. We went heavy on it the night before my flight and I had a bit of a break with reality.
I became convinced that if I started walking towards D.C. that people would follow me (think Forrest Gump) and when I got up there I was going to deliver this amazing speech and everything was going to change for the better. I attempted to recruit two friends into walking up there with me (many hundreds of miles). This didn't last more than a few hours and I was fine by morning. It humbled me that night and while I continued to use for another month I didn't do it anywhere near as often as before. Eventually what I took with me to my new place ran out and I quit.
