I was in Europe this summer and a few friends and I purchased what we believed to be pure crystal MDMA (50 euro). Now, I do not have a lot of experience taking drugs but I can tell you my experience was mostly positive. My two other friends had previously done MDMA or Ecstasy or both.
For this being my first experience I must say it was awesome! We went to a club where they had DJs playing until 6am. I am writing this because I thought we had taken MDMA but after much reading and research I’m not sure that’s what it was. Here is my experience:
1. Purchased 1g of crystals from a guy on the street, close to the club (approximately 10pm), yes very stupid.
2. Had a couple of drinks at a bar close by.
3. We took the 1g (pouch, looked kind of like rolled packet) split it into 3.
4. We took the pure crystals in our mouths and washed it down with drinks (~12am) YUCK!!!! tasted like cleaning products. We had a couple more drinks, went to the club at about 12:30pm.
5. Had another drink, nothing happening ~12:45.
6. Lift off, it was like 0 to 150mph. I got very nervous, it didn’t feel like it was going to peak. After 10-15 minutes the ‘launch’ plateaued. I was still nervous and my body felt like it weighed nothing.
7. I had a cigarette and it tasted so amazing!
8. I felt more comfortable now, we went and danced all night long.
The reason I’m not sure if it was MDMA is that I never felt my heart racing and never got sweaty. I also didn’t get the amazing touch sensation I heard about. Although, I couldn’t stop grinding my teeth. Music sounding so good, drinks tasting so good everything was perfect. I felt that feeling of ‘nothing is wrong and things felt so right’ I felt close to my friends but not outrageously so.
9. Went to the bathroom about 1:30am my eyes were completely blacked out.
10. At about 5am I noticed a decline in effects, probably 70-75% of peak.
11. I smoked about 15 – 20 cigarettes that night.
12. Went back to our place and puked (I think this was from too many cigarettes) 6am still at 70-75% effects.
13. I couldn’t sleep at all, I was up all morning. I couldn’t stop moving around, I just wanted to be up dancing or moving.
14. Went for lunch at 1:30pm (40-50% of peak effects), I still couldn’t stop clenching my jaw or stop moving. My jaw enormously sore by now.
15. The effects were still present until 6pm in evening.
16. Other than being a bit tired the come down was definitely not rough, it was just like the effects wained down until they were gone, it just took 18 HOURS!
Reason I’m not sure it was MDMA is that from what I’ve read MDMA doesn’t give you that launch effect (0-150mph), also it should subside in 4-6 hours. I never felt sweaty, I remember specifically feeling my heart and my pulse felt ‘normal.’ I never felt the amazing touch sensation people report, although I couldn’t stop clenching my jaw. I also noticed nystigmus a few times while dancing. Also, from what I’ve read it seems if it was pure MDMA I would have taken ~333mg, which from what I’ve read would be extremely high dose for a first time user.
The crystals looked like brown/yellowish/bronze crystals (not blocks, but shards) with some smaller crystals as well.
Was it MDMA?
