MXE is like weight training for your brain!

MXE definitely enhances my metacognition when used in moderation.
I know a lot of people need healing like this. If your heart has become cold from the loss of so much love, next time you are on a dissociative, try to bring those feelings back. Listen to the music you heard when you first fell in love, imagine the energy of holding their hand or embrace, dig up the memories that you hid away because they became painful at some point or another. I might just be a transformative experience.
That MXE freebase crystal was the result of putting MXE in a test tube, putting in janitorial strength CLEAR ammonia (no scents/bubbles/sudsy look when shaken—you want clean clear ammonia) which hits the MXE in the tube and turns it into an opaque milky solution. The white is the result of MXE freebase non-soluble in water and was separated from the ammonia solution using diethyl ether, then left to evaporate far away from any flame/spark source.
I don't think your alone in this. Most of the time when I would recall these memories I was listening to music I used to listen to years ago. Music seems to be a catalyst for these types of experiences with a lot of psychedelics, but especially MXE. I would often listen to random songs from like 5 years ago on repeat, actually on MXE I hardly listen to new music at all. I've never actually sat down and tried to make a therapeutic experience of it like you do, definitely gonna have to try that. I often end up thinking about past loves on MXE too, and it often ends up with me randomly contacting them on social media and reminiscing from a very manic standpoint.
Now granted I don't really use in moderation, but I have a hard time buying it's gonna improve long-term and especially short-term memory. Sure it helps with streamlining certain thought-processes and the freeing of associations helps lateral thinking, but as far as brute force brainpower goes I can only see it diminishing with any MXE use that might be considered recreational.
I'm not even saying that MXE makes you overall dumber. Because I feel like I could solve more difficult engineering/math type problems than ever before (of course that could have happened regardless). But no doubt it slows down your train of thought big-time, decreases verbal intelligence, and fucks mainly short-term but also long-term memory. (If I recall one memory but lose 10 more I don't feel my memory is improving)
I know before I got into dissociatives and such I had like almost photographic memory. Now it's nowhere near that. I guess I haven't had much time off in the past year though and with some healthy living for a while maybe I'll revert back.
As always YMMV, and I guess I'm speaking more towards the crowd of recreational users here.
Disco Doctor, like others have said, in moderation MXE can have postitive effect on memory, and yes it is believed to repair synapses damaged from stress/depressions/addiction and promote neurogenesis *at the right dose levels*.
seth_7re, if this was an isolated experience it could be chalked up to brain damage, hyperactive imagination etc, but the fact that so many people report this exact strange phenomenology of 'diffused consciousness' or many words I could use to describe it, implying that consciousness is not completely isolated to the brain leads to some credibility. The exciting thing is that the science of consciousness acknowledges this as a real possibility based on the theories such as quantum elements of consciousness. Thank you for sharing your experience. I am currently in the final read-through of my MXE book which addresses the phenomenology of dissociated consciousness. Check back here, Sunday at the latest, for a link to the book.
Maybe it is just an aspect of permatolerance, but I hardly experience trouble verbalizing on MXE the past 2-3 years, on the contrary because of the 'streamlined' effect, MXE turns me into a very affluent and inflected speaker that engages the core of the listener's consciousness, intentionally grabbing shared connections to increase impact. My empathic reception increases allowing me to respond emotionally which in turn inflects the words. Maybe it is slightly slower, and I may look strange as I flair my arms and perform a range of impassioned facial expressions as I state my flow, but it certainly doesn't impair my communications abilities in low-to-medium doses.
I too shall pray that you don't coninue to fall prey to bias and become a preacher to those who might not need nor want to be preached too!I have to say I'm so grateful to be alive and away from this substance. I've been clean for a while now from MXE. Gotta say I feel bad you for disillutioned people who think this stuff is any good. I'll pray that you get over this horrible stuff. I'd rather be dead than be the man I used to be when I used dissociatives. Good luck to you all
