They say E is not Addictive - do you Agree?

I think the addiction is all in the mind.
I mean yea people can get addicted to it, but i think for the most, its in the person's mind. You get addicted to the 'feeling' it gives and not the actual drug itself. i'm not sayin its like this for everyone, but yes for i'd say a lot of people
 
you've also gotta consider that unless you're an insomniac or really, really into dancing it's a little hard to stay entertained for 8 or more hours at an all night rave

i for one can't imagine doing that much dancing without something
 
I would say that what Red Arrow said is about true, I like it when I am on it, but once it is over I generally don't want it for a while. Also with time after use I think about it less and in turn want it less. Althgough it is different for all people.
 
"Its like pringles, you want more but you come to a stage where you eat so much that you feel sick, and dont eat anymore."

I'm telling ya, they put something in those little bastard potato crisps so that you can't stop eating them! The whole slogan of "Once you pop" came about from the forced writing of hopelessly depraved pringles addicts, I know it...
 
I have had multiple month serious cravings, and also serious depression after only popping a total of three times (spaced out months, months, and weeks, respectively). This was also probably related to the fact that I moved to a depressing city and was alone and couldnt find any pills or entertaining people/places.

I know from personal experience that, at least for me, environment and state of mind can combine with the aftermath of MDMA and cause some very serious depression.

It's now been 9 months or so, so I'm about to pop again.

MDMA is definitely addictive for lots of people. I personally have an urge to take more ecstasy, especially in the week after taking some. The desire does seem to fade with abstinence, but I ended up taking it once every three weeks or so because it seemed like the most desireable thing to do.

Now the money and the after effects keep me from using it so often.


Exactly the same with me. I get the urge to take it a lot, the longer I hold out the less I feel the need to take it. I wanted to pick some up last night but none of my mates wanted to so I didn't either, kind of glas I didn't now!

Fuck no I just love the feeling, going out straight sucks.
That does give vague signs of mental addiction, if you need it to have a good time when you go out. Can't you enjoy a night sober or goiing out on the piss? Since being introduced to MDMA I've had some great nights out sober or just drunk. Sure MDMA makes for "the extra edge" but its not the "be all and end all" of a night.
 
yea, i was once mentally addicted to Lady M, for 4 months,,,,,luckily i had friends keep reminding me about where it was taking me and i was able to control my dosage

Agreed. I don't believe E is psychically addictive, but more so mentally.

IE: I need Ecstasy when I go clubbing to have fun.
IE: I want to feel that feeling when I hear this kind of music.

and without it's not as enjoyable.

Thats my personal experience.

shals :D
i can still have fun but i have the BEST time clubbing when i'm on e

yeah same....i go clubbing for the music, i love dancing with friends to really good tracks it's a great feeling i can do this straight because i love the music but when i'm e and i dance to the music it's the best feeling i think i could possibly feel.....so why the hell wouldn't i get on it.


it's just more enjoyable

my own experience i dont find e addictive one bit all i have to do is remember the bad bad comedown i normally go through and it turns me off the stuff
 
for me it was addictive to a certain extent, i was using every week in the same nightclub cause i felt i wouldnt have as good a night, when i realised it was time to stop hammering it it was the best thing ive ever done, since september last time ive dropped 4 times which is really good for me and im going to be dropping this weekend - the only reason i stopped was cause i lost the magic and really got sick of getting high, i dont miss e but it'll always have a place in my heart
 
I find it addictive in that I want to have this much fun all the time, but I really don`t have a problem controlling it. Especially since I know that my roll`s will only go downhill if I do, and that is something I _don`t_ want. But I don`t think you could call it addictive in the same sense that smoking is, where people who really want to quit just can`t stop.
 
Physically no never personally felt any adverse effects from it aside from being tired and a sore jay the next day (its the chewing gum I think it wears me out and hurts my jaw)8) Mentally went through the addiction for awhile and every so oftne get the urge. One thing I have noticed is that I can get a similar feeling to thetimes of rolling when I am not now depending on the enviorment. (E parties I stay sober and Dj I think its the whole music genre that brings it back) I think that is because for the first 6 months that was my life E then I mellowed out and now my mind just associates the enviroment to the feeling now. So I do got to clubs and stuff and have a really good time.

Sure it's addictive!

These days it's only every 2 months or so that I enjoy the lunatic company of MDMA - as several people have mentioned, the fact it can pretty much write off your week following a binge means that I try not to get too regular...

However, few years back I became pretty damned addicted to it pretty damned quickly!
Initially just friday and saturday, then into sunday, then into monday too etc. pretty soon I was buying my biccies on the thursday (and tyring them out OF COURSE) so my rolling week would run from thursday thru wednesday.

After much damage done to my life I managed to come back to reality but... I would say that it most definitely is addictive in SOME way and must be treated with respect.

Incidentally, haven't rolled in 2 months and am off to homelands in 2 weeks. Bring it on!!!
