Of all the chemicals I have dabbled in, MDMA was the one I liked the least. Back in the day I even knew people who would inject it. The couple times I took some of it all I wanted to do was to come down. The second and last time, I slept 14 hours straight after I came down.
Back then we called it Multiple Drugs of America. You really never knew what you were getting.
Somehow I survived my teens and twenties. How is a mystery.
Sorry to hear that, I once spent a year living and working in the Netherlands, and must have got lucky. The pills we experimented with had very different results. The place was awash with top quality cocaine as well, but nonetheless, there are many risks, not least of which is that a large fast artificial high, seemed to involve a slightly longer but less pronounced depression afterwards.
I was a little older, and so perhaps more able to cope than I might have been in my twenties, I shudder to think about me doing that in my teens.
I also tried mushrooms in a chocolate bar, and have to say it wasn't for me at all, never tried it again, though others raved about it. The hallucinations were astonishing, but overall not worth sitting on the bog for 12 hours convinced by my guts I needed a shit. In a whole year of contracting, it was the only night anyone (a good friend) told me I ought to go to home to bed, and afterwards told me I looked a proper state, which was saying something tbh.
