Side effects - How Many Have you Eaten?

[Anotherone25]

Swim wants to know how many of the skittles have you think youve taken over the rainbow and how long ago you started? I kno mines up over a hundred and its been a year... But also swim wants to know if you think your MDMA use has changed you and your brain over time? And if you could you would never take that pill!

way too many slang terms as well as self-incrimination

Swim has taken about 80 over the past year. It has definetly changed the way swim thinks in a big way and for the better. Swim is very glad he got down with those lovely little pills, even though he can't seem to roll properly anymore.

[chinpokomaster]

Not that he wants to be drawn into a competition because he thinks that spacing out drug taking is better for your life in the long run, but probably well over a hundred, according to SWIM, not including pure MDMA. He doesn't like to roll too often, though, because it makes it seem less special and he gets paranoid about personality changes.

It's hard for SWIM to tell whether MDMA and drugs in general have altered his sober brain significantly, because to do this, one would have to go back to the same period of time and not take the drugs, which is impossible with our modern understanding of time travel.

Given the chance again would SWIM still have taken this drug? Most definitely, if he'd never tried it before and judging by his repeated use, most definitely if he had.

Swim's first time was August 2005, and to present day he has used ecstasy about a dozen times. Swim is taking the average number of pills per session as 4 (he once took nine very very weak pills in one sitting, and on another occasion only needed one. Some sessions are longer than others so the number of pills consumed fluctuates dramatically). And when Swim went to school, 12 x 4 equals 48.

So Swim concludes 50, give or take 5, over the last 2.5 years. Swim does not want to get to that tolerance stage where he requires ten just to get a buzz. Space the sessions about. Swim went E-free through half of February and all of March. Next time he uses E will be April 4th

Edit: Swim believes it hasn't effected his brain or functionality at all.

my friend has used ~20 spaced over a year, I haven't ever nor do I see the appeal

no lasting cognitive effects

[MartM]

SWIM's taken about 5 pills but prefers MDMA powder as it is better value for money and produces a more controlled trip as you can manage the dose more easily.
SWIM started about half a year ago and does not believe it has effected him or his brain in any way besides positively.

[pinkandfluffy]

Swim has only eaten about 3 pills, and about 3 grams of MDMA.

He only recently took it into his head to try it out, and hasn't looked back. He went through about three weeks recently of taking it every week, and now is planning a break.

[Nose Dive]

Gosh... I suppose my Bill has never really thought about it before. I guess it all mounts up though. I suppose he's had just over fifty since he started nearly two years ago but looking back on it he wishes that sometimes he just hadn't. Now he strives to do it only rarely, prefering Ketamine to MDMA.
He's getting some this weekend and probably won't do them again for well over a month or probably two. He doesn't want to do them a lot because he loves them.

molly? katie min? this is an international forum, please do not use this sort of slang

[I Against I]

350 - 400 in about 10 months, yea im dumb.

[Nose Dive]

No shit scooby doo

[radiometer]

skittles, molly, katie min

Firstly, this is an international forum, and slang is a powerful hindrance to clear communication. Do you really think that everyone here knows what kaie min is? I sure don't.

Secondly, we here at DF would like to be taken somewhat seriously, and this sort of slang, quite frankly, makes this look like a forum for teenyboppers.

[Nose Dive]

My mistake, fixed.

[radiometer]

Thanks ND, glad you didn't take it personally.

[Anotherone25]

my apoloigizes! I meant to say pills! 0 sorry im a newb

[notts.pirate]

hmmm, SWIM has been taking pills for 7years, most weekends (and some midweek sessions)

SWIM is probably into thousands now and has only had 3-4 bad experiences, only htouched MDNA lightly as SWIM struggles to find it

[fizzle]

Swim took 5 the first time (too much bromazepam, swim did not realize they diminished the effects so much, new to mdma) so he did not feel the full effects.

Then 2 pills two more times and 1 pill one time. All pills were from the same source from the same batch.

All were 100mg (+ or - 10mg) gel caps (molly). Swim is pretty new to this drug. He started about a month ago. He isnt doing any more for at least a month when the last two pills will be taken.

So 10 pills total or 1 gram of pure molly, during the course of 4 different days.

[markyrokz]

maybe 80-90 since 06

[drab4]

Swim's been an occasional user since the early 90s. He doesn't know how many of anything he has taken since then. He went through some periods of very heavy use in the late 90s. He rarely uses mdma these days though. A few times per year at most

[Captin Bump]

Some where between a whole lot and a shit load!

But that was a long time ago.

[anony]

swim started about august last year, must have ate a max of 50 since then.
first pills swim ate were cherry bombs, then a long period of time of rockets, some clovers and now love hearts!

[KomodoMK]

SWIM wouldn't even like to take a guess at the amount he consumed in the first year or so. But the lessons SWIM has learned are more important.

1) Only use a couple of times a year.
2) Almost pure MDMA crystals are far far superior.

SWIM lost the magic, but is please to report that after over a year of abstaining, the magic did come back. SWIM will be ever grateful for the second chance with such a beautiful chemical that he will never abuse it again.

[HoldYourColour]

swim has bought hundreds and hundreds, swim cannot tell you how many swim has actually consumed because swim likes to share with his friends

swims only really been doing drugs for about 2 and a half years, but swim would definately say he spent loads on pills , in all likelyhood had swim never seen the light he'd only of spent it on alchohol anyway as its always used socially,swim did pills on his own once but he had to say that its fine, but there really is no better setting than out listening to music or having a house party, he's a card that swim.

on the flipside, SWIM always saves money on food every weekend

[CircuitBoy]

Someone who isn't me has taken several hundred pills over 10 years, and (s)he turned out just fine. Every weekend proved to be a bad idea due to a buildup of long-term serotonin depletion that took months to cure, so SWIM now uses only once a month or two (2-4 pills on one weekend a month).

That same someone who isn't me only uses pure MDMA crystals now, at 135mg a dose, as the roll is very clean and predictable. Stimulants of choice can always be added if needed. But SWIM likes the pure, gentle lovey-ness of an MDMA roll and its soft, sweet and non-edgy comedown.

[KomodoMK]

SWIM thinks it's hard to go back to pills once you have used MDMA crystals. It just isn't the same.
