I am so unbelievably lucky that I got to experience ecstasy aka MDMA before the year 2000! An absolutely amazing substance that could change the world!

Visionary messages from a visionary individual! Read his book, "High Price," by all means.

[@Lssj100]

I wanted to hear those short speeches!

If abused mdma has more potential to harm than classical psychedelics. I think it needs to be more carefully monitored than psychedelics.

[@lcarthel]

Maybe more potential for physical harm and less for psychological harm, but I hear you.

[@ThEraserKey]

Lando Cartel psychological too, hypoperfusiom in the temporal lobe of the brain, (developing emotional inestabillity), congnition problems if abused by the destruction of terminal axons, weak activation of prefrontal cortex, (loose of judment and impulsive behaivors), poor memory recall. if you are starting to see negative things in your life, its better to quit it and solve your problems sober. once you are fine you can think on doing it again but with reaaaally caution, or maybe you will realize you dont need drugs at all. Well my experience with drugs specially this one was it stsrted getting out of control, and i keep doing it even if after everyone i know told me to quit, only when i realized how wrong i was acting, is that i quit. the problem, is that people see you are bad before you realize it, so it has to reach bottom for you to change. so when peopke tells you u are doing bad choices whith this Lisent to them. ur low prefrontal activity will not allow you to be able to reazon and taking a look if what they are saying to you is true and right. mdma its awesome, opends your mind, but dont treat mdma as a power you can have, its just one of the many things you can do in this world, mdma, be healthy, work on your passions, dreams, share, love yourself and do so with others. meet people, find someone special if ypu want to, travel and leave something good for the planet to help the future of humanity. and do mdma, but do so many other things aswell apart mdma. Dont just only do mdma or think in mdma more that other things.

[@ThEraserKey]

i do solved my problems, now i. still doit once in a while, but really dont see it as something wich can be usefull for me anymore, i do it once in a while not really for my health, because its no longer something important in my life there is no more anxiety for waiting 3 months for a next roll. Because i have other things in my life to do, and sometimes its 4 months or 9 , or 1-2 years, i dont even realize how much time it has passed, in fact since december 2019 i dont do it, pretty great, cause its almost 7 moths, i have a sure ticket to a full explosion of love. now i always have the magic in my rolls again. have been peaking for 4 hours really euphoric and blessed with emphaty love and conection.and thrn gently coming down for 3 more hours. reachin a normal state, with an afterglow even.

[@williamnunn8847]

you talk out of your arse, or from experience? I'm going to get some therapy, I will weigh out my dose then visit my psychotherapist. Do you suggest I tell my therapist, whether residential or not, cause of some wetless tyrannical law there is here?

[@uygy15]

again your argument doesnt make sense in the case of ADULTS using substances. Far more dangerous activities are allowed for human beings. The fact that we have to limit a GROWN UP and tell them what they can and cant do with THEIR BODY is just absurd.

[@kaelan4509]

The law is so stupid
