Drug progression

[Vivanorcal]

So SWIM is definitely a relatively new and inexperienced drug user. As of right now, SWIM goes out on the weekends and drinks, partys, etc. SWIM smokes weed occasionally, but it doesn't do much for him. Just makes him really relaxed and chill. Whereas, drinking makes him happy, energetic, and talkative. SWIM wants to know what drugs he should try next?

He's heard ecstasy is a lot of fun, and would love to go to a rave to try it. However, most of his friends are averse to the idea. He has one friend that does e every so often, and they get along really well. She's an awesome girl, but SWIM doesn't want to take e with her and go to a rave just to develop temporary feelings of attachment. Sober, SWIM can have attachment issues, so adding e to the situation might not be the best. However, SWIM definitely wants to get some experience with e before he goes to Spain for study abroad in the fall, as he plans to visit Ibiza, and knows that ecstasy must be experienced there.

Are there any other recommendations of drugs to try before e? SWIM is not particularly interested in trying any opiates. In short, what drugs would you recommend to someone who is just starting their experience. SWIM is unsure if this is in the right forum.
