MDMA - What The Media Wont Say
By
@movingman
I wanted in this post, to spread my experiences and knowledge on a banned drug - and it is one that has just one or two recorded related deaths. By this I mean that nobody has died from taking the actual drug itself. The most famous story of this which is a classic example of misinformation given to the public, was what happened to a young woman called Leah Betts. I remember her name clearly and that's the result of how media imprints in our brains. I just read the wikipedia write up to see if it was true what is written there so that I could use it to reference to, or if its been changed to fit agendas, but it does actually hold the true information. Her death was well over publicized and so much so that I even remember it even from 23 years ago because the media played on it so much. Please feel free to read this Wiki-Link. I just read it and it's a good read of the corruption by media. You can see how the media can portray a drug, when the news channels at the times where saying she died from Consuming ecstasy, which wasn't true - but still my parents generation got the impression from the media, that this drug called Ecstasy was a killer and from then on "Drugs are bad M'Kay??".
Here's quoted from wikipedia, the truth and even more truth added to what I heard in 1995 can be found in the link above..
"Betts died on the morning of 16 November 1995, within five days of being admitted to hospital, after her life support machine was switched off. Her funeral took place on 1 December 1995 at Christ Church, Latchingdon. She was buried alongside her mother at St Mary Magdalen church in Great Burstead, Essex.[9]
A subsequent inquest determined that her death was actually not directly due to the consumption of ecstasy, but rather the result of the large quantity of water she had consumed"
She flooded her lungs and died from a swollen brain, due to the fact she drank 7 liters of water in under 90mins.
The word DRUG has even been tainted with a bad label, which is ironic because the word drug came from Old Germanic language for "dried herb" : Drog - but is now used mainly only to refer to as "illegal or "banned" substances, made illegal by the same people who allow the selling of cancerous drugs in the shops to anyone over a certain age. Its quite sad to know that people will be reading this, or have maybe even already stopped reading it because the conditioned mind has its way set and your not willing to hear independent source of information. If your open-minded and decided to carry on reading, then that's great! And I would love to be reaching this post out to as many parents as I can so that they will not judge if they find that there teenager children have tried some kind of illegal substance. I would like to say at this point, I have no drug addictions apart from tobacco. My meaning of addiction is when it will really change your personality and thinking if you don't take the substance in question. I know I am a tobacco addict because if I stop it, I become a different person, and one that I don't want to be. A life long misconception of word use, as usual, has lead us to believe that drugs are bad, and that drugs are literally just the illegal ones.
Why do millions of people over the world like this drug MDMA ?!
When I was younger, I had much older friends who took ecstasy tablets when we went out clubbing to London. I was happy to drink JD and coke and smoke skunk and never really wanted to try it out. It would be 6 years later at the age of 22 I think it was when I would first try Ecstasy. I wont bother to to many links to resources as I want this to be my own words and knowledge from my experiences.
MDMA Removes Social Barriers.
After the initial rush, you are very mellow and everything is just "Nice", you can lay back with your eyes closed and notice things have more feeling, you notice that you are alive, and not thinking or worrying. Your senses are much more heightened, like touch, taste and smell. You find it very easy to talk about things that trouble you in life, you see anything that you have experienced from a neutral point instead of it being your own personal problem. Humans become Beings. Our egos are stripped from us and we are just there, breathing , feeling and loving. I have seen a documentary on an anonymous hypnotherapist, based in Germany I think its is. the doctor is offering therapy by using Mdma and then going into hypnosis to help people over come traumatic events and have a full success rate from these treatments. Obviously as it is a Banned Substance, they must stay anon as not to get arrested and treated as a criminal.
There are no more self judgemental thoughts popping up and you can really have the first loving moments towards yourself. Thoughts that come naturally in everyday life like "I can't do that, because what would they think about me" just doesn't pop up under the influence of Mdma and suddenly you can now see yourself more purely, without the doubts.
I have been on many occasions at places where many people have all taken Ecstasy tablets with Mdma inside or pure Mdma crystals, like drum and bass raves hugging strangers whilst the sweat drips from the ceiling and dancing like maniacs, or the complete opposite scene like a forest party with piles of bodies rolling around on the floor in some kind of non sexually intended orgy of body contact. I once watched at a festival near my home town, two notorious twins who were always looking for trouble and bullying people etc, take Mdma for the first time, and they were laying in the middle of a huge marquee hugging each other and telling all the people who walked past, that they loved them dearly. After this experience, these two hard criminals had their whole perspective of life changed as they experienced the feeling of compassion within themselves. I have even been taking MDMA with people old enough to be your parents or even grandparents!
"But.. I've read on the news many times that people have died from eating Ecstasy Tablets!"
There just isn't a big enough font size to convey how this IS THE LINE between having a real understanding and true knowledge, or just believing what you where told. This is where the mis-information arises which brainwashes the masses into believing in False Information spread around by the media. Yes it is true that people have died from taking ecstasy tablets , but the reason was because the tablets weren't just ecstasy alone, they contained other chemicals which are deadly in certain amounts.
Headline's Would Read: "Youngster dies from taking Ecstasy Tablet."
This can be true BUT what they will always fail to tell the reader, is that the tablet contained harmful drugs and not just MDMA alone, if it had any MDMA in there in the first place! There are many people who have taken what they think has been mdma since sometimes even 2 years, when the truth is that its not MDMA at all. There's a great vid found HERE exposing how much is "fake" MDMA and what people are really taking, and how some people don't even care!
There are a few chemical drugs that are very dangerous and are being sold as MDMA. The main one these days are people dying from tablets containing PMA or PMMA. This is a real problem. Its effects are similar to the feeling of Mdma but its very deadly as the overdose amount is so little. I don't even know why this drug exists, I guess because it cheaper than mdma and can be sold for the higher price of mdma on the black market and the street, and a lot is produced through "practice runs" of amateur chemists trying to make Mdma. People ARE dying from pills that look like safe ecstasy pills, but of which just contain PMA. The PMA takes longer to feel the effects, so many take another pill or 2 and then it all kicks in and they die. And then yet again the news headlines will tell you they died from taking ecstasy or Mdma. If you take too much pure safrole MDMA, then you just fall asleep and most likely vomit before that. Because the real safrole oil is only found in a specific tree it is hard to come by, and actually the police seize tons of this oil heading to Europe and America which causes more dangerous drugs to be created as a replicate and really helps nothing, the trees were destroyed for the oil and the oil was destroyed. There is though also safe Mdma being made called "BK Mdma". Its just not the same as the real deal but its what shows up as pure on test kits and it is chemically mdma, but has been made with a cheap Chinese version of safrole oil. This version of MDMA is what has been around since 10 years and only people over the age of 35 can remember the good old days.
Pure Mdma can be no purer than 84%, so if someone says its more than that, you know they haven't got a clue and its most likely something else. It is in crystal form, or power from having the crystals crushed. Its much better to find it in a crystal so that its not likely to be mixed with anything else as powder, and can range in different shades of colour from dark brown to champagne and to dark purple colours. I just looked for picture examples online but they are all links on google of where to buy it online!

Drug Testing Kits
Its very easy to learn what it is your buying and putting in your body after buying a drug testing kit. You can find them in your local head shop, or buy them online unless your paranoid and they cost a lot less than whatever it is your wanting to test. I personal have the SafeTest4 kit since many years Pictured Left, and I can test any substance to see what it really is - other wise there is no way of knowing for sure. Here is the website, and they are so cheap its stupid not to have one if you enjoy to take recreational drugs, and you'd be pleased to be spending your money on the real deal and not some potentially dangerous drug that was sold to you as MDMA or safe ecstacy pills.
People who try to make MDMA for the first time usually use cheaper ingredients to practice with, and end up making something dangerous which gives real MDMA a bad name, when actually its a drug with tremendous benefits for humans being suppressed by legality's. The most commonly used testing kits I would guess are the EZ ones, mainly as they are much more promoted and sold in shops and more appealing to youngsters with the packaging and simplicity. All drug testing kits have the same principle. They all have a certain, or multiple liquids called reagents which when dripped onto some power or substance will turn a certain colour, and the colour determines either the strength and purity which you compare to a colour chart, or it just tells you what it is. The EZ kits have ones for purity, like to test cocaine, as most white people haven't ever really tried pure coke, most are every saddened to one day find out that the coke they enjoy is actually showing as very little cocaine content inside it.
One time I got the chance to try 98%pure cocaine in West Africa, and like a small dot around 5mm 2, and after this I was too high to even talk for FOUR HOURS. That was pure cocaine, and its way to strong to even enjoy when its pure.
I realized that the average cocaine on the streets of Uk in my town was around 10 %?! Here's a picture of the Mdma EZ kit that is commonly available to buy, you can see how it works just by the picture or by visiting www.eztest.com..
And the variety of different testing kits, a snap from the website. I have no affiliation with these company's whatsoever.
... and caffeine :-)
Hihi! Hi man! I was going to head over as I saw your boat post there, guess you've been out enjoying it!
Im not turning into a grumpy monster when i have no caffeine :) I have lived with people who do though, and thats scary!
For me the question of addiction is not "will I turn into a grumpy monster", but "Am I able to opt out from taking this drug for 72 hours?"
I have tried many years ago,but in completely the wrong enviroment to stop smoking tabaco, but on the 5th day im just angry over anything unreasonably ,god knows what the following days would be like! But like I say this was years ago 😂 i did just buy a vaporizer so thats a winner! Post coming up next on that I guess..

This is awesome @movingman! I have been wanting to see actual trip reports on this platform for a while, and perhaps even do some of my own haha.
Always happy to see you posting, and this one was a doozy! I've done so much MDMA in my youth, and though I must admit it is addictive, as is any fun thing, I do believe it is an experience one really should have.
I did miss it completely!!!! A 17 day late reply comming your way sir!
Yes there should be a hastag for this to spread true information and proof of the effects of banned drugs!
I dont find it addictive, but then again im lucky to not find anything truly addictive apart from the tabaco..
I really do enjoy drugs though, and to get well wasted on different concoctions once every month is great. Why not! Better than alcohol anyday, and thats a proven fact!
You are right, it is really only addictive when people are looking to escape something. It is enticing to be happy :P And I agree, much better than alchohol!
This comment I can upvote!
awesome concept sir..ilove this..
