Thinking of trying Ecstasy/MDMA

[AlexanderTheGreat]

Recently I've been thinking that I might wanna try Ecstasy/MDMA. My best mate has tried it and he enjoyed it and that he has offered to help me out if i wanna try any weak drugs (ie pot, ecstasy) - he is 4 years older than me and has had experiences with drugs and he knows what to do if anything goes wrong or something like that. I've already smoked pot a few times and I enjoyed that so I'm thinking of trying something different. Obviously I have made a promise to myself not to do any hard drugs, for example; cocanie, LSD, salvia and I plan to keep that promise.
me and my mate both know where the line is.

What do you guys think? Any bad experiences? Any warnings?

Uhm, go for it in a safe environment. If you have pre-existing heart issues, I'd be careful.

Phenethylamines have a tendency to be hard on the heart, not as much as coke, but they can still cause some issue. Luckily MDMA does not target 5-ht in the same way that a phenethylamine like 25i-NBOMe does, so your heart should be OK.

Anyways, where the hell did you get the idea that LSD was a hard drug. From your post, you have a misunderstanding of which drugs to stay away from and which ones are "ok."

Okay... I think you have things in the wrong order. Psychedelics are the "soft drugs", they do not do any physical harm.

Stimulants like MDMA are more addicting and neurotoxic. I'd go as far as to say if some one used MDMA as often as a cocaine user uses cocaine, they would be much more mentally and physically damaged.

Just checked, and you're 15.... Don't do MDMA at your age. If you've got to do something, wait until you're in you're at least 20.

Generally - the obvious response is to advise against it.

But whatever, just be careful.

MDMA is a once every few months sort of drug because of the horrible side effects, and I'd say not to try it until you're at least 20 for your own sake.

It would be incredibly difficult to abuse MDMA like cocaine and considering that it is a myth that the drug literally starts to hurt the brain or drain spinal fluid, it would be hard for it to be more dangerous than cocaine,

That being said, even the dangers of cocaine are exaggerated by many.
