nice report Trip...
I've always been interested in this combo, even though I haven't done MDMA in over a year, and I don't doubt that the opiate/serotonin agonist marriage is one of the finest experiences available to us.
my concern, which you partly addressed, is the other substances that might be in the MDMA pill...even if it tests positive for MDMA, there are often other active ingredients present that might interact dangerously with the opiate.
the testing kits (marquis reagent) are not foolproof by any means, and I would be inclined to wait until I could get some pure MDMA powder and test it in a small amount alone before combining with the opiate.
One other thing...I thing the amount of opiate needed would be very small. I see the MDMA as the main player and the opiate softening the edges and mixing in a little of that warm contentedness we all know and love. For a person with low to normal tolerance, the amount of OC (20mg) you did or slightly more is probably enough (without the fentanyl patches). I just think being laid out on your ass is contrary to the goal of this experience, which is to be mobile, lucid, and hyper-aware of every sensation.
And at higher opiate doses it seems to me that you are coming dangerously close to a kind of speedball. MDMA is an amphetamine after all, and you don't want to be sending your heart/lungs two extremely powerful opposite signals at once. So I would keep the opiate dose low, and MAKE SURE you have quality MDMA.
Thanks for the info.
Edit: One more thing, I say fuck the weed. Unless you are a habitual smoker it's not going to do you any favours on a journey like this. I can't imagine even wanting to smoke with these two kicking around in my brain.
Trip, let us know how you feel subsequent to the experience, if the euphoria carries over for a couple of days, any anxiety or rebound depression, etc......keep us posted.
