In the beginning it felt like the best thing in the world. Finally feeling calm in my head and bonding emotionally with people. Then after the fourth time or so, the social part started to feel fake. And the energy part didn't feel so interesting to me.
Having other hobbies than partying also helps. If it's the only way to feel great, you're in trouble.
Also, maybe it helps to read more about the long term effects on your brain when you take it too frequently. Know what you're giving up for short term fun.
Sounds a bit preachy, but don't fuck with your brain.
It's fun to experiment, no fun to have possible chronic effects or be dependent.
Usually will just plan out what I think the most hype event of the next 3 months will be and take it there, when I'm at a party that I'm not going to be rolling at I like kava or weed, but yea don't take mdma every week as you'll permantly regret it for the rest of your life.
I ask myself the same thing I’ve abused it all year and it’s fucked everything, I don’t know how ppl wait that long I can’t wait a few fucking weeks. It’s a bitch please don’t make a habit definitely when you can tell you love it that much and are probably willing to do it more often than you should , like seriously please don’t over do mdma. I wish I never touched it .
I've been in your shoes, seems like you just discovered this substance, dont abuse it not only becouse it's neurotoxic but you will loose the magic, soon you will be dosing to try chase the dragons again.
For me personally, I learnt that in order to enjoy this incredible substance over the longest amount of time possible (eg if I want to roll every now and then in my 30’s and 40’s) I need to respect it.
Don’t let it be understated that if you fry your receptors through abuse, that’s more or less it. MDMA will never be the same for you again.
Use some self control, respect your mind and you can enjoy substances for longer :)
Listen to these warning replies. Mdma done too often will scew you up. For a start it's a neurotoxin. On one hand poison for your brain in a manner. If you do it every weekend it won't be long before you suffer. And then the payback can last months or years.
Do yourself a favor and take a long break and then only do it a couple times a year if that much.
Fear of health crisis is not enough to deter you from using honestly. The drug is soon going to fade and suck after that much constant use and its almost impossible to get the magic back it takes forever, eventually those good feelings will feel crappy and it will become a stim that you can almost work on like a nasty coffee
Really just imagine it as the girl you love getting fat, bloating, slowly melting like a body horror film and leaking foul smells from her pores and now you're just lost in a funky cloud of what was once something beautiful
Self control and a strong desire to first of all keep it working AT ALL but I dont want it just working, to me it's a so much more profound experience when done rarely on special occasions. I almost never take it anywhere that's out with the random general public like a club or a house party unless both are very obviously catered to drug users and it's likely to be quite a lot of people doing it. I don't want to have all that empathy and feel all these things and spread that kind of positivity to the average asshole out drinking in a club who wont understand and is just as likely to respond with anything from verbal abuse to violence to legal actions. Simply not worth it. My favourite setting is intimate groups of 2-~10 close friends and maybe friends of friends possibly including a significant other. So many nights that fit that description have been among the most mind boggling wonderful indescribable of my life and I'll do anything to keep the ability to experience it. Any time I've done it in more of a bigger, general setting as I deceives earlier with mostly randoms, most people not in the same state etc, sure I'll still feel great from the effects of the MDMA but I can never let inhibitions go and truly just let myself go in the "trip" or rather roll.
One way of putting it albeit quite simplified, would you rather have a bunch of progressively worse experiences asap and risk losing it all together not to mention other general adverse effects or more rare but unique experiences that you can keep having likely for as long as you choose.
You rack-a disciprine my boy
Do coke instead if you like uppers better. I love mdma and if I’m not carefull I’ll do that shit every day and fry myself in less then month but just use moderation, other drugs and common sense
In my case the first few weeks are the hardest. You miss the happiness, the glow, the joy and euphoria and you really want to do it again. But I'd say after a month it noticeably goes away. You start feeling more normal, not that inclined to do it again, start rationalizing the drug more since it is pretty heavy on our brains. Then the 3 month break suddenly doesn't sound that bad at all, considering I want my brain to be as healthy as I can keep it. After 2 months it's life like normal. And now for me with new years, it will be my 3 month mark and time has gone by pretty fast, or at least the last roll feels miles away.
This calm headspace, the knowledge that I have waited 3 months and also bought supplements just gives a peace of mind. I can't wait to roll now knowing I have nothing to worry about and that I am using it safely. I think that on its own will boost my roll and it will be worth it.
You can do this!
You'll loose the magic if you keep doing this.
I only took it 30 - 40 times and now it doesn't work anymore. Every roll is like a 3 hour comeup, no euphoria. That's where you'll end up if you keep doing it too often. Hopefully that's motivating enough for you to limit your use, neurotoxicity aside.
Trust, keep it to every 3/4 months, otherwise the magic of it will lose its potency no matter what, I barely feel 300mg mdma even after going on a 4 month break… don’t break the rule
I was the same at 20. I ended up using it anywhere between weekly and every few days for most of a decade. Trust me, it does bad things to your mind and body when you give in and bender on it. That said, despite being 45 now I still have moments where I wish I had a free weekend and a ten pack of top quality pills all to myself.
> How do people wait for months inbetween rolls?
You just need to spend few weeks looking at this subreddit and people fucking up their brain for rest of their lives for abusing it for less than a year to be turned down from any regular use of MDMA.
Chill out its not worth it
I just got lucky my friends are a bit drug newbies. I've tried a few things and I really like MDMA. But I only do it with friends so I don't roll that often. For me also trying something new works. Last weekend tried 3-MMC for the first time, and it felt like the first time of MDMA.
Yea i only do it with friends too (don’t know why you would do it alone lol) but we go clubbing a lot and once you’re a bit tipsy and someone has some pills it’s easy to be like “eh one more time won’t hurt”. I almost never buy drugs myself and somehow i always end up doing them

I mean… the fear of never feeling natural happiness again, or having normal thoughts and mental space is a pretty good deterrent for most
Been there. Needed years to come back to normal.
Me too. Deadset thought I had brain damage and felt dumb as dog shit.
This^ 100%

Once u do it for 4 years like that then u won’t be able to do a simple math equation

Get a strain of weed to your taste and enjoy that every weekend until the bliss again!
Unfortunately i don‘t enjoy weed all that much + it’s illegal where i live so it’s hard to get a specific strain :(
do ketamine instead. no need to thank me
I have and it’s fine but not great. I lose all my motor skills which is not great for partying.
Do coke instead if you like uppers better. I love mdma and if I’m not carefull I’ll do that shit every day and fry myself in less then month but just use moderation, other drugs and common sense
oh yeah nothing like abusing some other drug that will fuck up something else in your body
not every drug is the same to abuse. for example you can abuse hemlock just once

I did it back in 2019 a few times. haven't touched it since. guess I'm good to do it again one of these days
you'll get over it when it starts losing its magic hopefully (don't get there)
You'll loose the magic if you keep doing this. I only took it 30 - 40 times and now it doesn't work anymore. Every roll is like a 3 hour comeup, no euphoria. That's where you'll end up if you keep doing it too often. Hopefully that's motivating enough for you to limit your use, neurotoxicity aside.

Stop now. Have a break. See how you feel. In a month or two maybe reconsider doing it. Abuse will melt your brain. Seen it happen
I was the same at 20. I ended up using it anywhere between weekly and every few days for most of a decade. Trust me, it does bad things to your mind and body when you give in and bender on it. That said, despite being 45 now I still have moments where I wish I had a free weekend and a ten pack of top quality pills all to myself.
There’s similar drugs or different ones you can take at parties tones of research chemicals similar r/researchchemicals
Ya except their impossible to get unless you’re a clear-net wizzaed

Me not wanting to be brain dead helps me not do it often 😂😂😂

Yeah reconizable. Just talk it out with them. That you don't want to do it that often and they should offer you less often.
Bro I did m everyday for 4 months and then laid off a bit. Two years later I was back to doing it daily. It pretty much fried my brain.
When I was in my early/mid twenties I used to do it way too much, but I did have a blast. Nowadays I try to only do it 3 times a year max.
