Ectasy

 

MDMA has a substancial amount of beneficial purposes in many different subcatagories....especially psychotherapy.  This, again, goes for almost every psychoactive substance.

 

Enjoy the knowledge, or any innterest you have in these things, keep reading up on it!

 

True. But stil, they technically do the same thing then?

And Ecstasy is something I wold never try in my life...

 

First, I really don't recommend it.

 

One of the dangers is that it sets up patterns of repetitive behaviour - if you're chewing gum as it kicks in, you will continue to chew manically for the next 12 hours and your jaw will ache mightily for the next few days. If you're smoking, you will go on to chain smoke for the next 12 hours and will sound like Tom Waits with laryngitis for the next few days. If you're dancing, you will dance like a bell end for the next 12 hours, possibly causing your body to overheat, suffering severe to fatal consequences (which is why raves introduced chill out rooms and encouraged people to use them). This can also cause people to overcompensate by drinking too much water - your body's natural regulating sysytems are being overridden by the e so you don't stop even when you've had too much.

 

Assuming you sidestep most of the physical side effects (and if you're not using it as a dance drug the dangers are diminished but not eliminated) it's like any psychoactive substance; you don't know how strong it is or where it's going to take you until it's in your system, and once it's in there you're stuck with the major effects for at least 12 hours and the after effects for days (at least) afterwards. So, you might feel like a conduit for all the joy in the universe, like you're channeling the spirits of Jesus, Buddha and Elvis Presley, blessing all those around you and communing with the Godhead (but you'll look a total pillock to anybody not off their heads). Alternatively, you might have a major panic attack, temporarily forget how to breathe, have to be smuggled out of a club by your frends who will spend an anxious 12 hours or so as you experience rushes of intense paranoia, totally convinced you're about to die, or possibly that you're already dead and you're on your way to hell. Or you might wind up hospitalised, sectioned or, in extreme cases, dead. Assuming none of the last 3 happen, it will take at least a week for your fragile psyche to reassemble itself, possibly longer.

 

And yes, I'm speaking from experience here (though luckily my bad experiences stopped short of hospitalisation). I had a few good nights, one blindingly good night and without a shadow of a doubt the worst night of my life - and the few weeks afterwards weren't much fun either - and ultimately it wasn't worth it; even after a good night it would take a day or two to recover, and after a bad night you don't want to think about it.

 

As I said, I really don't recommend it.

 

Well, all of the scholars ive read and people I have influenced on learning about psychedelics would most certainly have an understanding of "why" they want to experience and mystical journey or insight into these substances.

 

Artificial they are not; psychedelics are usually synthesized from natural things, like hell, MDMA comes from sassafras plants, LSD from Ergot fungus, Marijuana and Cannabis, DMT is in your damn body....the list goes on!

 

I think most of them were put here for humans to experience alternate realities, it is God and natures will.

 

Dont get me started...

 

Every theraputic drug is in that damn Schedule I...

 

Seriously. The drug schedules HAVE to be politically motivated, they are totally f*ked up.

There's a lot of stuff I don't like about them but one example, weed is a schedule I and cocaine is a II? I don't think so...and that also puts weed on the same level as heroin???

 

 

 

That's true about cocaine, but exactly as you said....weed makes no sense on the list.

And what about tobacco/alcohol? Those are drugs, neither have any real medical purpose, both are addicting (and very bad for you) and where are they placed???

 

It just dosn't make much sense to me...
