Talking from a bad experience from MDMA. We call it "MANDY" I was at V-Festival 2 years ago 3 this august, I was with a group of mates who do drugs all the time, Me never touched any sort of drug like that in my life, I bought a gram of it and my mate told me to do it all in one go as a bomb, So I did... Little did I know that was well to much.. Next thing I knew I couldn't move my legs they had control of themselves and next thing I know I've blacked out, Couldn't remember a thing, I got told I was going round to random people telling them I loved them and was trying to even kiss a police woman! Well then it only got worse, I went into fits and a day later I woke up in hospital with no recognition of the day that just went past, I reached a heart rate of 230 beats a minute when you maximum should be 220 - your age me being 17 at the time would have been 203, So when I come round I had needles hanging out my arm a oxygen mask on and loads of doctors around me unsure if I was going to make it or not. Me still high as a kite didn't really pay any attention and was just thanking them all. finally they discharged me and allowed me to go home. Was okay for about a week just really achy. Then I went back into hospital again as my heart started missing beats and palpations started kicking in and I thought I was gonna die, Stayed in for a week again on a heart monitor praying that I wanted to live.. So I survived and they let me out, I was then put on sleeping pills to make me sleep at night as I was suffering from anxiety attacks which were awful I went like a week an a half without sleep and when I finally did start to sleep I was getting 1-2 hours at the most! but finally I'm back to normal well as much as i'd like to think, I get weird pains in my chest but ignore them now as i've had them for the last 2 years and i'm still alive, I just put it down to me having messed up my body. I hope this helps you decision on doing it. If i could have changed what I did, I would have done it in small dosages as the buzz I was on was amazing until it all kicked in..

 

this was my message to the dude who asked if it was safe..

Wow man, that is why i stay away from drugs, they can kill you easy. Why do something that has this bad of a risk. Glad you made it.

Yeah blowing some grass from time to time is okay but ain't gonna touch this shit.

Crazy story, but weed isn't bad tbh, as long as you put your schoolwork and other irl things first, and control how much you smoke, it can't kill you.

I know that now, I'm making the most out of life when I can, Even got a baby on the way now, my girlfriend was 20 weeks gone yesterday :P

Grats on the baby.

I might stay away from any MDMA drugs now, or at least take tiny dosages.  Thanks for the advice.

I also have experiences with MDMA.

 

I only used it once, at a friend's house. I was already a well known pot smoker, and he asked me if I wanted to broaden my boundaries.

Being pushed by him and my surroundings, I was stupid enough to give it a try.

 

A couple of moments after taking MDMA, I lost complete sense of perception. I could hear stuff, but it didn't "perceive" in my brain, aswell as motions, sight, and so on.

I didn't realise anything that was happening, you could resemble it with being high from marijuana, but without having any control, or the ability to think.

I guess you can call it a sort of "coma".

 

The following things were told to me later on, I did not realise anything that was going on.

When my friends saw things went wrong, they laid me into a bath tub, filled with cold water and ice. I started vommiting and biting my lips. I would later when I wake up see that my lips were completely bleeding and full of scars.

 

Apparently I started talking nonsense, begged people about how I don't want to die. I also said that I couldn't breath, even though I was breathing heavily.

My friends just dumped me in bed, hoping for me to just cope with it, and went along with their party.

 

I've had several problems the next few days with my short term memory, like weed, but alot worse. I would say hi to people 5 times on a day at school.

I also suffered from severe anxiety attacks, waking up at a sudden point. My heart would beat in my chest at a rate I wouldn't dare to call healthy.

 

After a good share of medication, I'm all good now. I can say I've suffered for more then a month, just by this little experiment.

 

Weed is fine, don't ever go beyond that boundary.

 

 

Interesting story only drug I've ever done was Weed a couple times made me vomit twice never really liked drugs but I've learnt from my mistakes, I've stopped robbing people, shop lifting, smoking cigarettes, smoking weed. I've went back into fighting/boxing which is great and I'm glad that I've stopped I still got a charge going for shop lifting which is a horrible thing at my age really but I'm becoming a great lad right now, so I'm proud glad you stopped drugs as well people do stupid things at a young age but regret it once you do it.

WEED IS NOT BAD.......

As an avid psycoactive substance enthusiast, I hear horror stories like this all the time; and it saddens me deeply.

There are three things one MUST know to have a safe time: Know your Body, Know your Substance, and Know your source.

 

I'm afraid all three of things were unknown in your case, and I'm sorry that the drug people around you were so wreckless with themselves as well as yourself.

 

Specifically with MDMA, I always test what I receive before doing it. Test kits can be legally obtained at http://www.dancesafe.org/, lab test results on alleged MDMA pills throughout the world can be found here http://www.ecstasydata.org/

 

Please don't preach drug abstinence, but preach drug responsibility. Humans will always do drugs, let's just try to keep them safe!

 

As always, don't abuse, use! Have fun!

What kind of drugs is MDMA ?

MDMA is also chemical released in your brain before you die. Imagine what smoking a substance like that can do. My friend did MDA, he said all he can really say is its like dying and coming back to life. Legit. Glad you are who you are today, Jessie. Some people just make bad decisions, and that fact your okay is what matters. Marijuana is not bad anyone who says it is, come here so I can slit your throat and kick you down several flight of stairs.

No, DMT is the chemical released when you die, and it can only last for an hour because your body metabolizes DMT very quickly.

 

MDMA causes the release of seratonin. Anti-Depressants like Prozac, Zoloft are SSRI (Selective Serationin Reuptake Inhibitors) which means they dump some seratonin in certain areas of the brain, causing you to be happy. MDMA dumps a lot of seratonin all over the brain, so you're happy and energized as fuck! But too much can cause a very terrible physical reaction, muscle spasms, and heart palpitations as we read in Jessie's narrative.

tbh, that wasn't smart at all (on your side)...

Always check what drugs you are taking, do some research before you actually take it to see what amounts are advised, read reviews and lookup (side) effects of the drug. 

 

Impulsively taking a drug without knowing what it is/does is really dangerous

I also know that you can feel depressed after taking MDMA as the body takes a long time to reproduce the serotonin used when you took the drug...  Doesn't it also release dopa-mine?
