Yeah you only need about half a gram of very good MDMA to have psychedelic effects. Especially with cannabis.
Although, 5 MDMA white butterflies over 100 mg each, would feel like walking a child in the sunny park compared to 5 beige over 100 mg MDA Hexagons.
I realise now on reflection, the MDA pills would really lift you off the planet in a different way. Afterwards feeling you’ve been somewhere else. Marvelling back to certain, or entire points, of the rave.
Like this one dark Warehouse rave in London we went to. On the entrance, about £5 they asked if you had it, just two guys in that one warehouse room, leading 50 metres across into multiple other rooms with rigs- like an entrance and corridor.
Anyway, THEY were selling the pills. These small, hard, hexagons. Not the MDA Hexagons I was comparing above to the MDMA butterflies.
But these rave hexagons were unquestionably MDA. It is more dreamlike, dissociative, detached, very visual, really quite mental (in a good way) stuff.
Far less of a socially cohesive experience, but you would be quite content to just continually drift through your own mind and thoughts, like sitting up on a hill, feet dangling, enjoying the view until you’re bored and time to go home.
I took 7 of those MDA hexagons that rave plus 5 MDMA Heineken’s, about 2 grams of ketamine. Most of the night there, I actually knew very little lol!
I knew it was truly mental. But in those states, you literally forget you are a person, at a rave, dancing to techno.
No subconscious thoughts of anything else, like the previous, following day, normal life, society etc.
I often used to imagine I was at work, and it was my job, dancing in front of this big rig in a dark barn or warehouse!
I did that all night one time on mostly MDMA pills but some MDA in some of them I felt.
7 phenomenal Heineken stars, 5 White Hearts and a Smiley face, 2 grams ketamine again.
The difference though- following evening Sunday, after the MDA hexagon rave 13 pill total, by Midnight Sunday, hometown, around a house, I was still off my face, feeling electric in the afterglow like you do with LSD, actually feeling more communicative than when on the pills all night, as if you’ve processed loads of stuff, almost feel a little disconnected, head still in pure awe at the amazingness of the whole experience.
And totally off my tree still.
Now the other 13 pill rave, was in farmyard with barns, tractors, hay etc lol....I was so tripped out, nicely, I also thought it was my employed job to keep dancing.
I couldn’t have been higher on ecstasy all night. The morning sunrise I remember feeling I was in another dimension.
I mean, the whole thing was very intense and hallucinogenic, but more involved, sociable.
The difference too- by 7 pm Sunday evening, hometown friend’s house, from those mostly MDMA pills, despite reaching transcendental magical heights (I’d estimate 130 mg average per pill so 1.7 grams plus the ketamine), I recall feeling very different to the MDA Hexagon rave.
Much more grounded, returned, as if things had blended together, always in the present moment. Feeling very normal. And very good too.
I felt great after the MDA Hex’s, but not at all normal. It was like after a heavy trip where you could think back over it’s different stages for days, and would talk about it if you knew how.
So yes MDA is a much bigger “thing” overall and in entirety. But MDMA is it’s own Orange, with special functions. I can’t actually say, I would choose MDA of the two to take to Mars.
But I wouldn’t feel like I had drawn the short straw either. Lol, MDA tripping on the Red Planet.
Luckily I’ll never be faced with such a dilemma. I think there would be times I’d fancy and enjoy MDMA more, and vice versa.
Although- MDMA is for ALL occasions. MDA can be that bit more twisting and detaching.
I’ve given myself there, by reflection here after an unexpected deep cained 5 hour sleep following a heavy acid trip, a unique insight into some very specific differences between MDMA and MDA, just by comparing those two different raves.
I can revisit visually, walkthrough experience style, so many other pills which I can filter into definitely MDA, def MDMA, mixtures or not sures, plus MDE pills, with confidence, very distinct from both of those others.
Now if the OG hippy culture were turning their noses up at MDE, in comparison to their beloved MDA, then I’d agree with them.
But you can’t say, with sufficient experience and perspective, MDA is way better than MDMA, period!
It needs context as I’ve tried to provide.
Right, need get high on weed now and what not, totally wasted from acid still.
