Haha yes mate the legendary 90's "Original Snowballs" reportedly standardised at 200 mg's at least and the Gay club scene was awash with them.Yeah one of the earliest pills to blow up in the UK scene were those white snowballs that had something like 220 mg MDA in them. Two of them would have people almost in a delirium with full on hallucinations in addition to Mescaline-like visuals. How nutty. But yeah I have to agree with you on the psychedelic tip re: MDMA / MDA higher doses. Definitely makes lights and visuals hypnotic and trance-like in a psychedelic way, and there's definitely something to be said for the fact that MDMA, MDA, et al. are all serotonergic and so are psychedelics like LSD and psilocin.
That said, the action is different.
For me, the day after I take MDMA is usually kinda rough. I feel depleted and unmotivated. The day after I trip, after usually sleeping soundly (unlike with MDMA) I wake up feeling refreshed and wonderful. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- MDMA is characterized by massive 5-HT release across the cortex allowing serotonin to activate dopamine sites in the brain due to the spillover. This activates pleasure centers and some psychedelic sites get light-to-moderate activity along the way.
- Meanwhile serotonergic psychedelics get their activity chiefly through direct agonism of the 5HT2A and 5HT2C serotonin receptor subtypes. Some psychedelics like DMT seem to concentrate on just a few sites and then there are more complex molecules like LSD which affects a wide number of receptors, not just serotonin but also dopamine, sigma, and norepinephrine – and a quite a few subtypes within each type, which is a part of why LSD is so potent.
I was told! Lol forreal, my mum sold hash all my youth to hippies &, some gay men raved about those snowballs in clubs.
Arguably an MDA version of equally maybe lesser reknowned though legendary, DoubleDoves, stamped both sides reported to be the best.
Older peers I knew knew, great intro friends at time been round the block, Paul told me all about the early 90's DoubleDoves.
The singles et al were all sublime already, Doves up to 170 mg's plus, but a 129 of pure MDMA or MDE combo was I have to feel somehow qualitatively and quantatively different stronger than equiv mg's in high rated presses nowdays.
Paul insisted you always could tell who in a club, rave had DoubleDoves it was so obvious even though everyone was pumped up shaming today's HR lol on many redoses of the finest.
I only took the Snowballs twice. 1st time 3.5 on Friday night after work, due work 6:30 am Saturday til 4:30 giant Tescos superstore Home Shopping trolley known and sought out for being so gregarious and popuar by EVERYBODY lol.
The Snowballs were legit. Amazing pills. As tall as wide. No print or score domed symetrcally top & bottom v well formed, large ish.
Had 3 by 3 am, decided now or never before work but only another half.
Second I bit it, bam! Hammered hard rushing tripping fucked!
Never eased off before work so I took a magnifying glass with me as i was tripping so much, rushing, so high. So luminous.
I was way too off it to try engaging with anybody so kept head down.
I had an uncanny ability to work on insane amounts of E, Acid, Ketamine etc and cannabis like 1500 mg's THC as dustman regs, never get caught.
Luckily it was the busiest day all year that Saturday. Rammed, like chlostrophobia in a sardine can.
Pro and con as ironically it granted me more space from employees, management etc.
Tough day still. Wasted all day.
Early 2000 I encountered something virtually identical possibly better maybe the most mind bending really on a brilliant trip pills ever took.
Identical shape to white Snowballs but green "Limes", stank heavenly.
Serious pills. So trippy, lasted forever.
Some for the desert island one day lol, thousand of those please sir "Check"
(There are maybe a dozen others you see so just a few of them lol)
