This has happened in few times:

I did mdma for the first time at a rave, I was rolling fine but didnt hallucinate, even a few times after that. And I'm pretty sure it was the white mdma. But after that things were different.

The first time it happened was when I did this very white mdma at a rave. I was too high so I left the rave, when I started rolling I saw people who didn't exist in real life everywhere, leaning against streets posts or mailboxes, riding their bikes, or walking. The looked transparent, and the way they moved was very slow, I looked away and looked back and they were still there.

Another time I took it, again it was white mdma, I saw these "people" everywhere, in trees, in the grass. And then when i was watching tv there was a really long person again who doesn't exist standing against the wall then beside the tv with his head bending on it. Freaky. Also after that I went to the washroom that was in my friends bathroom, I had the door open so I turned my head and just dazed into the bedroom, there was a bin in the middle of the room and a group of these "people" were sitting on this bin pointing at me while I was peeing, I freaked out and looked the other way and a second later I looked back and they are still there I got a better look at them. I can see through them, and they were as if transparent, they have clothes and faces everything. And the second time I went to take a piss I had the door open again and those "people" were sitting on the bin again but they were just talking amongst themselves. I could even distinguish that they looked like a younger group of people.

Another time at an outside rave, again it was white. The ground looked very digital and i was seeing steps everywhere and walking weirdly cause I was trying to climb them. And then I looked towards the forest and I saw a big group of people leaving the forest so I thought some party was happening there and as I walked towards the people they all started to disappear.

I have done it a few times after that and I was okay, I didn't hallucinate alot but just saw patterns everywhere and dots.

At another festival, the mdma i'm very sure I did was brown and when i was rolling hard i saw these "people" everywhere, going into tents, moving in a slow motion but they were doing things. When I had to take a piss in the bushes I couldn't do it cause all the trees, the leaves looked like faces, like a whole bunch of faces looking up at me, I'd try to hit it and it would look like it just turned its face.

The last time I did mdma and it was pretty recent, maybe 2 months ago, it was pretty brown mdma. I was coming back from a party with my boyfriend and we are walking under a tunnel, he is behind me and i was walking ahead of him and this whole time in my head I thought I was running with someone like a child, playing a game, not sure who this person was, not my boyfriend for sure, and then all of a sudden I snap out of it and this person is gone and I am left with a very scary feeling there was something with me, I look back my boyfriend is still there walking behind me, and I stop walking cause I'm so confused as to what just happened and very scared.

I'm worried as to why this is happening, cause its kinda weird? I'm wondering if anyone has had similar experiences. Thanks for reading.
 
Hallucinating is normal on Ecstasy, but I gotta admit - that's FUCKED. That would scare the fuck out of me.
 
First off, thank you for breaking your post up with proper formatting -- you've no idea how rare that is in these parts. :)

Second, I would stop using drugs of any kind for a long period of time. If you're positive that you took mdma and mdma ONLY, then it may be bringing out latent problems for you (such as schizophrenia).

I'm sure someone else will be along to help you a lot more than that, but from my point of view that is step number one.
 
I've had some intense visual distortion on MDMA, and if you search through the forum you will find many other accounts of hallucinating on MDMA. I've seen full on artwork/patterns on a completely solid, 1 color wall. I've seen people down the road until I focussed for a full minute, and I still wasn't sure. I've thought things were closer than they were, I've seen stars spin around in the sky...all on confirmed MDMA!

You may have had an experience with a chemical similar to MDMA- your hallucinations sound more intense than I've experienced on MDMA. Everyone responds differently, but 2c-b and MDA both feel quite similar to MDMA, but are much more heavy on the psychedelic side. It's not fair for me to draw a conclusion on that though, you really can't be certain unless you test your stuff as to what's in it.

Color of pills, or stamps have nothing to do with contents. I noticed you said "brown" ecstasy, so I just wanted to make a point there ;)
 
I noticed you didn't say how much you were taking and like Bsiren said you dont know what you have unless you test it. that being said, i took 10 red cherrys which were supposedly mdma and 6 purple stars of supposedly mda. I started it off with a quad drop and had them all done within 3 and a half hours. I had extremely intense hallucinations that night including a continual one of every telephone pole being the grim reaper on stilts until i got close enough to it. I wasnt scared, but it seamed strange and i did get aggravated that he was pretty much everywhere. I also saw bushes and things like that turn into people that were strange like a person in fishing weighters and jacket and hood so you cant see his face. And with that being said I took a very large amount that night. I suspect you did as well these times because thats a combo ive done many times before and never had results like that. And if your not taking a lot i suggest you stop taking it for awhile....

Wow that's fucked up, I'd stop doing it if it scares you...
I've had hallucinations on MDMA but they have never scared me. It started out my second time with just coloured dots in perfect square patterns flashing in time with the music. Then it got weirder: I smoked a Marlboro cigarette for 5 minutes, and when I went to have my last pull I noticed it felt weird in my mouth so I looked at it, only to find a roll up filter in my hand. I look at my other hand and I had a rizla with some tobacco in it. My friend asked if I was gonna roll that, and I was so confused! I had no idea what I had REALLY been doing for the last 5 minutes, and had no idea how I'd gotten to that point apart from being convinced I had been smoking.
On the way home I saw a white, clean double bed matress with covers and someone sleeping on it in the middle of the sidewalk. It turned out to be a SHADOW, and I didn't see it until I was 3 feet away! Further along that walk home I saw a statue of a mans torso in medieval armour. Again, I didn't see that it was a perfectly square pillar to a fence until I was right next to it. From there on the hallucinations stopped, but every 5 or 10 minutes I would suddenly stop in my tracks and have NO IDEA what I'd been talking about 2 seconds ago. My friend (who doesn't do any drugs at all) was pretty freaked out and kept asking if I was ok, and that I was spacing out big time. I wasn't too worried cause I was too busy being confused, only started looking into it the day after when I was sober.
The next time I saw something (which I've now seen on 2 occasions) was pixelation. I'd look at someone and their whole face would look like pixels; subtle, but definitely coloured squares with a defined edge. As soon as I blink they would go away.
My last hallucination, I was dancing with a girl by the stage, and I looked down and saw her handbag on the floor right next to me. I looked up to tell her she should watch over it, but she already had hers. So I looked back at it only to find it was nothing more than a dark floor board!
If you're not willing to stop using MDMA, if you see these "people" while you're with someone you trust, and who you've previously told about the problem, muster up the courage and go and challenge the hallucination. Once you realise you can't touch it because it isn't real you should be less freaked out, as it will reassure you that you are in fact high and not seeing things the way they really are.
If somebody thinks that's a terrible idea please say so because I'm not 100% sure on that one :/
 
There is a giant wall (the side of a 5 story parking garage) just outside of well known EDM establishment here which is memorizing. Each time we roll we just stare up at this wall and things in the world just dont seem right, Im sorry i cant describe it more than that. Bricks move around and the wall looks like a giant moving tetris game!
 
I've had crazy hallucinations such as those, but never that intense. To be perfectly honest I am both afraid and interested in more real hallucinations and delirium. I would love for it to happen to me, yet I would only under the right circumstances. I can handle the scary stuff, but I wouldn't want to panic and do stupid things.

I guess if it scares you too much, I'm with the large portion of repliers in saying don't do it as much or at all. It's all up to you.

psilence beat me to it. My boyfriend has Schizophrenia. He started acting strangely when he was taking MDMA about three or four months before having his first full=blown schizophrenic episode. Schizophrenia doesn't have to be audio hallucinations, it can be visual too.
 
MDMA messes with pattern recognition is my guess. i've "hallucinated" on rolls before. i've seen glasses on people not wearing glasses, i've seen the rave floor look like lava from above, a person who i thought was there for a split second, whole environments i swear i saw from this bright LED that changed color (green i was in a jungle, blue i was in the ocean, red i was surrounded by fire...). one time i was cruising google earth and while i was flying through the map i saw faces everywhere in the terrain map. scary, happy, sad, mad. i hypothesize that when you're rolling good your brain works overtime on recognizing patterns. any little shadow wisp, or light, or shapes your eyes see the brain applies whatever is similar to what it has experienced...hence seeing people, glasses, faces, shadows.
 
Ahhh the 'Shadow People' - pretty common when on high doses of MDMA / MDA.


The problem is you dont know what you took so were simply guessing as to why you had these visions. If your not testing then theres a chance that your taking something other than MDMA or you may be taking too much.
 
I've hallucinated full on people on MDMA but it was on a massive dose added with 36 hours of sleep dep, and extreme physical activty. Basically had a few conversations with some friends who werent there then snapped in shortly after to realize that I was in the dark alone.

due to so many others having similar experiences it didn't frighten me too much but I also could easily distinguish that from empty space, the friends were made of white light just like the imaginations of my mind. some folk are more predisposed to these types of things. MDMA is wonderul but strongly altering and it seems the deep end is shallower for others than to others
 
This sounds exactly like MDMA+MDA or even just MDA on its own.

I have seen the most lifelike halucinations of people doing stuff from MDMA +MDA but never from just MDMA.

Come on, you've got to be kidding me - hallucinating is NORMAL on Ecstasy especially pills because you DON'T KNOW WHAT'S IN THEM... MDA or Piperazine, or honestly even MDMA, and loads of other things that are put into pills MAKE YOU HALLUCINATE. I appreciate you trying to help but Schizophrenia is a scary problem, you don't need to give people the idea that they may be schizophrenic because they hallucinated while under the use of drugs...

I mean really if you're seeing people while you're sober you might want to get help, but that's normal for Ecstasy. I've seen people before and I'm positive I'm not schizophrenic.
 
lol, this reminds me of the time my friend and I were rolling balls at an Infected Mushroom show and we thought for sure we had met Jesse James (the bike builder) there. We spent a good part of the night following him around, taking his picture and talking to him about bikes and shit.

Looked at our camera the next morning and realized the guy barely even looked like him at all, lol.

I've also thought that I've seen my ex girlfriend's while rolling, as well as my little brother one time. Something about being on MDMA makes me think I recognize people I know, even if they only vaguely look like them. I dunno, it's hard to explain. A little creepy to think about actually.

I've never hallucinated on pure MDMA. I can't speak for pills but, I nor any of my friends have ever hallucinated anything on pure MDMA, let alone full on people. This is a harm reduction forum, and in his post he was SURE he only took MDMA (whether he tested it or not, who knows).

If that is true, and he's having other strange experiences on what is believed to be PURE MDMA, then something is the matter. Look at the post by Wadsworth quoting my response. It's entirely possible that MDMA use could trigger a psychotic event, or unleash hidden away mental illnesses like schizophrenia.

NEUTRAL:
# mild visual hallucinations (uncommon)

I read 'mild' as colors seeming more vivid, maybe people's faces or other things look slightly different, etc. But not hallucinating full on people with their heads bending around walls.

It's possible he hasn't gotten clean MDMA though, or that he's completely overdone it on dosages. I have no idea what happens at irresponsible dosages (750-1g+ in a 24-48 hour period) and he doesn't specify how much he's taken.
 
thanks everyone for the responses.:)

I did forget to mention the dosages, 90% of the time it was a capsule esp. for the white stuff. I do believe they were pretty full and I do remember being sooo high alittle bit more then my body could handle. I also thought I almost o.d n the beginning,at the festival when I thought the ground was all digital and I saw people come out of the forest. Also, every time I did the brown stuff it was about half the amount it would be in a capsule.

I know it wasn't any of the 2c's cause I have tried some of those before and I was fine just had a nice psychedelic experience. But I do agree they weren't tested so they could have also been cut with something, i'll never know. Also, I don't hallucinate this way on other psychedelics like acid and shrooms. So it's weird that it would just happen on mdma.

Anyway thanks again everyone. This helps alot. :)

Tests come up as MDxx, not just MDMA... You don't know if he took MDA or not... MDA makes you hallucinate like that.
