      Looks more like a few hours of cramping body and soul followed by 3 days of emotional hangover

        Ehhhhh so this was in 2000. Your standard ecstasy pill (we’re assuming they’re not pipers; these don’t look shiny and they’re not shaped or outpressed) have between 70mg MDMA and 120mg (if they’re absolute fire.)

        This would be about 400mg of MDMA total. While that is quite a lot, you’re not going to have a horrible time—I just wouldn’t do it in public because you WILL be a chattering mess. It’ll still feel amazing, though.

        Source: oldhead, last time I rolled it was a total of about 450mg but spread out over hours and I was absolutely not in public, just writing naked with my partner)

            Oh GOD I fully agree in that case. Rolls nowadays have up to 300-400mg in a single pill (sounds like you already know that, but I’m just saying this for context in case another reader doesn’t)

            That’d be like eating a gram or more of Molly at once, and THAT is for sure not safe and not a good time.

        Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t believe ecstacy is actually dehydrating. Dancing at a rave for hours on end without drinking anything is though.

          Just like SSRI’s, Ecstasy does interfere with your hypothalamus and temperature regulation. So, small energy expenditures creat oversized responses.

          You would still sweat heavily doing more than lying down with a fan blowing on you.

            Yeah, another part of the problem is that you cannot tell that you are hyperthermic and or dehydrated.

            Thats how you get the people that dance all night and then just die, or go comatose or pass out.

            Your body stops telling you wow, i am way too hot and wow, i really need water.

            Sort of like that rare condition where you literally cannot feel pain, and children with it will break their fingers because it feels weird.
