Tolerance Issues

[yoamort]

SWIM is a large male, 6'3", 230 pounds. He is just as experienced as his other friends. When SWIM bought a sheet of acid for him and his buddies, it took 5-6 hits of the stuff for him to get anywhere near a significant experience, while everyone else was gone off of two. When he takes Molly, he needs over 1.5 g to get rolling, and it seems his friends are fine off .5-.75. When he bought some shrooms for everyone, it took him 3 and a half truffles to get going, while everyone else seemed more than content with one. When railing yayo...I think you get the point.

Some possibilities I've considered:
-I'm have a high natural tolerance/naturally resilient to drugs(probably the most obvious, but I don't think that it would explain such a huge discrepancy in effective doses)
-My expectations for drugs are too high
-My friends are over-reacting/lying/placebo effect/perceive their high differently than I(This, coupled with the previous statement, could be very dangerous, as I feel I may be chasing other peoples' high. Also, again, I don't think this explains the extent of discrepancy in how we perceived our high)
-I have some medical condition/blood condition(or something, I am no doctor) where my body doesn't absorb the drugs as well as other people

Does anyone have any opinion on the matter?

Thanks a ton in advance!

Could be any of the above. I don't really see the point in tossing random ideas up in the air when there is no way to know. I like the inconsistent use of SWIM as well haha.

Sucks to be you.

There is something seriously wrong with either you and your friends or your MDMA.

Besides those absurd numbers, it's very likely that your stature makes for more demanding dose sizes. I would put your 'moderate' MDMA dose in the 2XXmg range.

it took 5-6 hits of the stuff for him to get anywhere near a significant experience, while everyone else was gone off of two.

LSD doesn't vary much relative to body weight; if you're taking triple what everyone else is taking, it's probably a combination of your second and third possibilities.

No swimming on BL. It isn't a pool.

I don't really know what to say on here except that perhaps you are super human .

I have always had a high natural tolerance to drugs, but 1.5g of molly is not normal in any sense of the word.

I don't really think we are going to be able to help you at all on the matter, but I will leave the thread open for now to see if anyone can offer some idea.

Do you have any other medical conditions or are you taking and prescription drugs ??

 

[yoamort]

No medical conditions that I'm aware of, just asthma that I grew out of awhile ago.

A friend of mine went through 7g of moonrock (handed out maybe half, but even still, the other half...? wtf?) in no more than 2 days...

Not normal indeed.

in high school i knew a kid who had a disorder where his body didnt produce enough serotonin .and he had to take serotonin pills. but anyway most drugs didnt work on him because of this. its was crazy. we all took one hit of acid and we were messed up.i watched him take like 5 and nothing happened.and i guess he also ate like a half oz of shrooms and nothin happened. same with doin coke. but some drugs worked for him. i know that he did dxm and cannabis a lot.

I'm not so sure reading back through the OPs original post.

1.5 g to get rolling, and it seems his friends are fine off .5-.75.

.5-.75 of a g of MDMA is a huge dose and I took MDXX virtually weekly for 7-8 years, 150mgs of proper crystal should have you flying half a g would floor anyone other than someone who had a really and I mean really serious problem with the stuff.

The MDMA I can put down to poor quality product and maybe your do have a higher inbuilt tolerance or just are less effected by placebo.

Psychedelics are a different ball game and many people have different reactions to them at different times so I wouldn't even bring those into the equation.

Coke ...well its a let down in general, some people really like it. Its the only drug I can honestly say I've managed to have a problem with but generally not enjoy taking.

Too little and I don't get enough from it, too much and I get all jittery and start that "if I just have another line I'll be fine" loop that goes on and on until I run lout of coke...I don't do coke anymore !

I'd give MDMA another go but IMO you got weak or possible bunk product.

 

[yoamort]

As far as the MDMA goes, I still got that kind of "drive" feel, like where you are energized and feel ready to go, like with Adderall. So I kind of got the feeling, but it wasn't strong at all. Is it supposed to be that mild?

 

[Pjkt2501]

Uh no. .2 of proper crystal and it's a pretty much guaranteed no-memory-but-one-of-the-best-nights-ever kinda ordeal.

It also has a MUCH different high than what amphetamines feel like.

 

[Coolwhip]

I don't know what you have but it isn't MDMA.

As for the rest of it. I have a feeling your friends are acting more fucked up than they are. Young people, especially when relatively new to psychs and hard drugs, will act like they are just BLOWING UP when they are really having a level 1 experience.

OR they don't realize that they are having a mild experience, and that the rabbit hole goes much much deeper, and they assume whatever they are feeling IS IT.

I think part of it is just trying to get attention, part of it is trying to fit in, and part of it is being scared of drugs and scared of what is happening to you so you act like you are all fucked up so people leave you alone.
