MDA vs. MDMA

[ljfe]

SWIM has taken MDA six times so far, but hasn't had a chance to experience MDMA. These experiences have been very enlightning and long (7-10H). SWIM has colorful OEVs and CEVs with this drug. In SWIY's opinion, which is drug is better?

MDA is said to have a more psychedelic effect than MDMA. SWIY probably would not experience the visuals that SWIY had while on MDA. On the positive side, MDMA's empathetic effect is more pronounced than MDA. Also, most labrats would say the level of euphoria is higher with MDMA than MDA. I read once that a supreme dose would be about 80mg MDMA and 20mg MDA taken together. It's just a matter of personal preference.

Swim also finds MDA to be speedier and more of a dance drug, and it can be more intense than MDMA on the sensory perception side of things. Swim finds that tactile perception is greatly enhanced on MDA, even compared to MDMA, and touching things feels amazing. Each experience is different though, as with everything, so its hard to directly compare the two substances as they may have been ingested in different settings. Swim prefers MDA for rave type environments and MDMA for private house parties (roll gatherings) with a more controlled atmosphere.

SWIM is jealous. It's been like 5 years since he has taken mdma. And the possibility in the future is not looking so great either. The Dr. Drool route is becoming increasingly more tempting to a friend of a friend.

SWIM seems to love the visuals from MDA. He just hopes it doesn't mess with him in the long run. SWIM thinks eventually he'll give MDMA a try, when rolling with friends. I guess MDA could be better for personal insight.

SWIM would suggest using both together, then you get the best of both worlds. SWIncsponger's dose would feel pretty amazing for the average person, though swims preference is about 130-160mgs mdma, 60-80mgs mda. (this may be high for some, swim has a naturally high tolerance to everything ): )

[Samadhi]

Keep the space between experiences apart by increments of two to four weeks to keep your brain in check...

there is a reason why they call MDA the "hug drug". swim feels it is much more buzzy than MDMA's pure euphoric goodies.

as for combining the two, start small and work swiys way up till he/she finds a good dosage range. Don't go for the gusto.

swim peronally favors MDMA because of its synergy with swims favorite drugs (hallucinogens and research chemicals) MDA can also have a little body load for swim although swim has an easier time making MDA then MDMA... so will anyone who tries considering you work from MDA to make MDMA.

don't pop too hard. it can be a bad time

For SWIM there is simply no contest, MDA just doesnt have the buzz of MDMA. I would say that SWIM's tolerance is very high at the moment but recently he took a whole gram of MDA within a 3hr timeframe, and other than a very mild feeling of having taken a psycoactive (much like a very mild ketamine feeling) all SWIM was left with a horrendus stomach ache and all the negative points of an MDMA comedown, like hot/cold rushes, inability to sleep properly, cramping of muscles and a general hangover feeling.

SWIM has had MDA before and after taking nearly 3g's in a night felt atleast a little bit of a rush, but had he paid street price of over £100 SWIM wouldnt have been happy with the experience.

MDMA is for SWIM on an entirely different level, SWIM has higher energy levels, much more feeling of euphoria and love, and just the feeling of being totally smashed which you simply dont seem to get with MDA.

SWIM is dissapointed with the lack of MDMA on the streets at the moment, its seems to be close to impossible to get decent E's or MDMA at the moment, SWIM has done a trip of the UK recently and finds a simmilar situation everywhere he has been. SWIM wants to get totally fuck faced again ;(

Swim would have to say he likes MDA a little better because of the mellow feelings of peace and love that are accompanied with it. The psychedelic aspect also makes a big difference as Swim has seen some out-of-this-world things while on the drug. Unlike many other Swimmers he prefers to do MDA in the comfort of his good friends and in a familiar setting. Alot is always said and learned in these adventures.

MDMA definitely has its perks too as the general rush and euphoria doesnt even compare to MDA being way more intense. Swim likes to do MDMA when he goes out and partys with randoms or in a large crowd. It just makes him feel like doing more things or different things that he normally wouldnt.

Swim finds that the comedown from MDA is a little easier to handle both physically and psychlogically which does its justice in the final descison.

[Matt The Funk]

SWIM finds MDA a lot more psychedelic and almost a feeling of speed mixed with shrooms, since speed gives him empathy anyway. He finds the visuals much more intense for OEV and CEV while also having a much more intense "rush". MDMA he finds much more empathogenic and "clean", with MDA having a harsher comedown for him. SWIM once dosed too high and MDA and had bad paranoia and hallucinations similar to methamphetamine with a psychedelic twist.
