So SWIM attended EDC in LA on the 28th of June with his gf and some friends. He was at first a bit apprehensive about the whole scene and who would be at a 50,000 person massive, but he was pleasantly surprised by the crowd. Happy faces everywhere, costumes, PLUR, the whole kit and kabootle. Security was non existent, and there was no pat down at all. So much for tapping everything to SWIMs nuts.
At 9pm everyone dropped as they walked in, SWIM took 3 Purple Supermans, and his compatriots 2 per person. This is SWIMs 3rd time rolling, however he is no newb to drugs. He took ALA, NAC, Inositol, Piracetam, Deprenyl, Magnesium, Taurine, Fish Oil, a Multi Vitamin and lots of Vit C all week prior to rolling as his prior experiences with comedowns have been unpleasant. This time he went balls out on his prep, his brain taking damage is no joke. SWIM is also on a mild AAS cycle, just to lay it all on the table.
Anyhow an hour or so in SWIM takes 2 more as he isn't quite feeling it yet. J's were smoked, and dancing ensued. Benny Benassi is the shit. Everyone else is feeling good, the girlys are rolling hard. At 1.5 hours in SWIM is in heaven.
At about 2.5 or 3 hours everyone starts getting sick. Everyone took 3 total except for SWIM and over the next 6-8 hours almost everyone pukes and doesn't feel well. SWIM felt ill momentarily but decided it was too much movement and the proximity to the speakers more than anything.
The symptoms SWIM had were hypertension, extreme fatigue when walking stairs or any good amount of distance at once, and stress from having to deal with 2 girls that were not listening to him and feeling quite ill themselves.
Hallucinations started towards the middle of the nite and persisted until 8 am, nearly 12 hours after dropping the first pills. SWIM enjoyed the connection with his mind, his body, and his spirit. His meditation skills came in handy, centering himself and his breathing was a natural as walking. It was very LSD like, however social skills took a shit. Interpersonal communication went to hell. The group dynamic was off. Push Ups and Bench Dips were amazing
The comedown was non existant for SWIM, his cocktail of before and after supps saved him at last. He is beyond pleased with this. One girl who has sleeping problems didn't sleep for 3 days. SWIM finally quit his sleeping pill habit.
Overall the experience was among the best drug binges in his life. SWIM also took some GBL during the evening, only 1ml at a time, and that was indeed as delicious as he has read. The glory of new faces, a new scene, REAL light shows, REAL trance, dancing with his girlfriend like never before, the pure and spectacular wonder that overtook SWIMs soul, and even the terrible and premature ending were all wonderful. SWIM learned many things about how to roll, who to roll with, how to rave, and how to take XTC.
As far as the pills go, SWIM is guessing MDA. They did not feel like meth, but they did make him ill. 5 may have been overkill, but people were puking on only two pills. SWIM was the only one out of 7 people to LOVE these pills, it bests his ACID trips and even his first amazing roll with his gf on a private beach in the depth of Summer.
So does anyone have a guess on what these were? SWIM knows they were dirty, but they were at the same time amazing. SWIM bought more and will be taking them again. Anyone care to weigh in?
