The Dangers of XTC

[happatai]

i've been asking several people if they'de ever try xtc with me, and
everybody i asked got all scared and defensive and said no. they all
all started warning me how a lot of people have died, and that it is
too crazy. I used to think the same, but seeing that a lot of people on
this forum all love xtc, maybe it isnt as bad as people see it is...
What's the issue with this?

[Toria]

The same issue with every drug - sometimes bad stuff happens, so that gets publicized, and the drug gets a bad rap.


Here's the skinny on E - it's a toss up. You never know what you're getting in a pill, so in that sense, yeah, it's pretty dangerous. Look at all of us, though, we've all done a lot and we're still alive. No one's actually died FROM ecstasy, they've died from secondary things like overheating, dehydration, and in the rare case, over hydration. As long as you keep these things in mind, keep yourself hydrated but at the same time don't be guzzlin a bottle every 5 mins, and take breaks from dancing to cool down, you'll be FINE. It's not at all as scary or intense as the media makes it seem. You're still very much in control, unless you take a higher dosage.


I guess it all boils down to your opinion...however, you'll notice everyone who HAS tried it loves it, and people that HAVEN'T think it's the devil.

i think that pretty much says it... thanks.

Dude if your going to do e or any other drug get the facts. You shouldn't have questions like this you should already know the anwser. I sugest you watch the special extacy rising from abc news which is avaible in the extacy forum for free download. Very imformative indeed. To answer your question according to abc new 10,000,000 doses of xtc were taken last year in nyc alone. Of that 2 people died from xtc alone. Just be weary of what you don't know is in the xtc pill and drink water. So what are your real chances of dying to answer your orginal question? You have a better chance of being hit by a train or struck by lightening. It's the safest illegel drug commonly used besides weed of course.Edited by: Unsolved

Why are you ragging on him that why he's here TO GET FACTS this is a forum to learn and share info yis isn't a forum for know it all ass holes to bitch at people who want to learn

[Unsolved]

With all do respect to you and him. I'm nicely ragging on him because if he's ready to try the drug then he and everyone should already know these things before trying any drug. This is stuff you should know before making the actual decision, really this is not a game. He has oviously choosen that he wants todo this and that's cool. XTC is by far my favorite drug.You can die from a lot of different drugs or end up addicted to many. I personally believe (nda lot of people on here will agree with me) that before you make the decision to try or do any drug you should know every single pro and con about using that drug. This is the only responsible way to do drugs. It really bothers me whenpeople don't do this, don't get all the info. It's so important.Drug's are serious business period. People do die from them. The trick is to minimize your chances of this happening.If you don't know how to do drugs the right way it can lead to addiction or even death. One of my friend's died from meth believe me I know. Extacy is not weed, it can be dangerous to many,there is certin thing's that everyone should know before using it. Education is key, isn't that why you and I are here. I personally believe that if everybody eucated themselves on what we put in our bodies then a lot of "addiction" could be avoided. I'm sorry if I seem rude or mad in my post, that's not what I wanted to seem. I'm just trying to get a point across to everyone reading thisfor there benifit. Again I apoligize if that seemed to be a harsh reaction.Edited by: Unsolved

No one you know has done it? Because the best thing to do is try
it with someone who has experience with it and they can tell you what
your are feeling or what you need to do.

[Unsolved]

I agree 100% with that. Roll with someone who has done it before at least a couple of times. I think that is the best adive given on that post. Rolling with someone that has done it before and knows all the in's and out's of the drug is a really great idea. i should have said that darn it. Take it from us. If you can find someone who has rolled before and willing to spend the night with you then that's a great plan for a first time roller.

[Chaote]

Not to sound like a dick but he came here to ask a question he didn't just go out and try it and then report so hes trying to learn, and make sure you get it from someone you know or better get it from some one your friend who has already rolled has gotten from and knows well so quality is somewhat ensured !SOMEWHAT! quality and content can vary from pill to pill so there is no garuntee to safety.

buy at least 2 reagent testers. rest alot easier with what's in your pill / powder.

[IvoryQueen]

Yeah get some info on it 1st and make sure yr in a safe environment. Also, I'd advise that u take just half of it and wait a good hour before u take the rest. This way u'll definatly feel the effects of it but not too intensly. This is what I tell any of my first timer friends.


Heres a thought- Last year in the UK 33,000 people died from alcohol where as only 3 people died from XTC.


It's good to know that ur askin for advice

I would like to point out that mdma,not xtc,not E,not candy or whatever but mdma is a fairly safe drug.Its more safe than alcohol,nicotine,a lot of antibiotics and aspirin.People have never died because of mdma they have always died because they were fucking dumb.OD is very,very very hard to achieve!They have died because instead of learning all they could before dropping,they have listened to street talk,dealers and their dumbass friends.They have danced to death,they have taken mdma with MAOi`s,they have, instead of wondering why did that pill tasted so funny,dropped another 3 just to "be sure",and the list never ends.


Also reagent testers will not always help,they will not differentiate PMA from MDMA or MDA,MDEA.really there isno solution,except to make your own;but there are a few tricks:learn thetaste,learn the faint sassy smell,and if one pill doesnt do anything then dont drop another,but insteaddrop that greedy fuckin dealer or yoursfrom a topof a building,or at least inna river.


btw for all you guys from europe a warning-the dxm/mdma pills have reappered!swim knows this for a fact and since in the last few yrs youve been getting mdma from the east,it is only matter of time before start pukin their guts out in raves-be dumb on your own riskEdited by: daeron

The one piece of advise I give anyone who takes E is this:

Take one and wait a solid two hours. If it's working by then you should be fine. Don't just drop a few more in case you don't feel like your coming up. Don't get into the habit of dropping several a night until you know you can handle it. I have set a limit at 5 now but if you need 5, the pills probably aren't that good and you should just give it up. Decent pills should get most people well buzzed if they take 2 or 3. If you don't get anything off two pills, stop taking them. You simply aren't suited to the drug.

Dropping over 5 is asking for trouble usually.
