Most people here seem to take MXE mainly at home, or in a setting with just a few friends. Are there people here that use it at raves/parties/festivals or in other more crowded situations?
I don't use drugs by myself so it's either at a party or during the afterparty. I've used MXE at parties mostly. This is pretty enjoyable to me, but it is a bit of a weird drug. I use a "bullet" device which dispenses about 40mg of MXE per "hit" (weighed it). Last time I used it was at a rave. I didn't feel much after the first hit. The I took two of what I estimated to be half hits, and still felt like the effects were very subtle (though at some moments this seemed to be different). Then I took one final hit. I did this in the course of about 3 hours.
So in total I was under the influence of 120mg before I felt I was really getting into it. At this point I started feeling like my hands were really large, and things got pretty confusing. I'm not sure if it was very enjoyable, although it wasn't bad either. I felt pretty "stupid" though. It was a bit inconvenient that I kept losing my friends and had a hard time finding them again, and also had trouble clearly communicating. Dancing was good though, and my legs felt like a wheel, which I find hilarious.
After a few hours something weird happened: I suddenly felt like everything was "normal" again. I was still definately under the influence of the drugs, but I saw everything in a very different light and had no trouble communicating or finding people. This was a very enjoyable state, and dancing felt like it was automatic. The weird thing was that this enjoyable state was not like how I felt before I took the final hit. Then I just felt like I wasn't high enough yet and didn't really "get into it".
This was very different from another experience, which I remember being great. However, while high I started to recall that it had also been confusing that time, until more friends showed up (making it harder to lose them). But mainly I recalled that the experience became MUCH more enjoyable after the sun came up (it was outdoors).
It occurred to me that more glowing experiences always took place during the day. Then my vision turns very sharp, almost like the world is suddenly in high definition. Also during the day I don't lose my friends all the time. I think I won't be taking MXE at nighttime parties anymore, but just during outdoor festivals and outdoor parties.
Just to be clear, I never really mind losing my friends at parties, we all go our own way. However on MXE in the dark its especially hard to find them when I look for them, more so than when on MDMA or other drugs.
