This relates to the scene in Human Traffic where Howard Marks is talking about weed politics. I was wondering about the social conventions of taking E and if they differ.
Going back a few years, I was going on a night out with a girl I worked with but didn't know very well socially and a load of others who I didn't know at all. We were drinking in the pub and talking of what to do later that night when it was decided it would be a good idea to get some E's. I had never taken it before but thought I would try it and everyone that wanted one put their hand up and the order was placed over the phone.
Back at her flat, drinking and listening to music, waiting for someone to return with the goods, getting nervous, wondering what it will be like. Finally, the guy returned and the girl I knew went around the room handing out the E's to all who had requested them. She came to me and offered me the pill, I said "How much was it?" she gave me a look as though I shouldn't be asking but eventually said that i shouldnt post the price on my bluelight thread -thizzer. I offered her the money and she VERY reluctantly took it off me.
I went to the kitchen and got some water, feeling very nervous having never tried it and with all the BS from the media about deaths from E in my mind, I thought, best to just have a half. So I split it in half and swallowed it.
A short while later we went off to the club. Still carrying the other half in my hand - with no sign of anything happening with the half I had taken - I noticed the surly looking bouncer on the door. This worried me. I just knew he was going to search me, find the half pill, call the police and ruin my life. So I popped the other half in my mouth. I've never mastered the art of swallowing without a drink though, so it stayed in my mouth - tasting completely disgusting - until I managed to get a drink.
In the end, not a bloody lot happened. I put it down to all the nervous energy I was feeling being on a first time and the fact that I held the half in my mouth for quite a while. Although, my mate did mention I seemed to be 'feeling' the music. She obviously knew more than I did.
Still, the thing I have always wondered, do the politics of E suggest that I shouldn't have been so upfront about offering her the cash money which should not be posted on this thread and instead, slyly pop it in her pocker later? Or was I just being completely paranoid with the whole experience and E politics don't actually exist?
Your responses to this years old quandry would be much appreciated :D
