Finally, it's spring again, festivals are coming,
the weather is warmer and it's time for the birds and the bees.
And like every season has it's own nature and music, it has it's own drug.
According to a lot of people this is MDMA.
So this is the MDMA. I'm really curious about it and it's also my first time using harddrugs.
I am really excited.
- MDMA, or Methylenedioxymethamphetamine is the working substance in XTC.
- In the 70s MDMA was used in psychiatry and in the 80s it came from Ibiza to the underground scene in the Netherlands.
I have never used MDMA before, but I'm meeting with Ruben. He has used MDMA for years. He can probably tell me more about it.
Ruben, how many times have you used MDMA before?
- Well, I use it one time in two months for great parties.
But, for how long have you been using it?
- Not that long, since I've been 23 years old, something like that. For about 2 years now.
I'm going to use MDMA for the first time, what could I expect?
- Euphoria, your whole body will be 'tingling'. It feels like you aren't tired, you don't want to go to sleep,
- you want to dance, hug people and talk to everyone.
How do I dose/adminster it?
- I've tried putting it my drinks but I have to discourage it because your drink will taste awful.
- A better way to use it is to dip the powder with a wet finger and take a sip of your drink because it has a nasty taste.
Have you ever gone 'wrong' on it?
- No, not really. Well, one time I threw up after using it.
- You have to be careful because you can get sweaty over your whole body and become restless.
So, what about a whole evening? How much should I take?
- It depends, if you have never tried it; one time dipping your finger is enough.
How long will the effects last?
- Probably around 4 hours. Something like that.
Really? I think I know enough, I guess I just have to give it a try.
- Allright, well, have a great evening! It probably will be fine.
I'm completely 'dressed up' because I'm visiting a 'vampireball' and this is where I'll take MDMA for the first time.
Of course this MDMA is tested, but if it somehow goes wrong; here are my friends of the ambulance.
But first, I'm going to find myself a dark corner.
Let's see...
Oh, it looks like sand
It smells pretty sweet.
Ok, I'm just going to take a lick. I'm really nervous...
Aaargh, give me some water.
This is awful....
I hope it feels better than how it tastes. It's tastes like, 'filthyness'.
Ok, I'm going inside, it's showtime.
- If you want to use MDMA, be sure you feel good.
- Always let your MDMA be tested, because of the contaminated MDMA on the market.
- You'll feel the effects of a MDMA trip after around an half hour and it will last between 2 and 6 hours.
- Don't combine MDMA with other drugs or alcohol.
I've put my teeth in. It's time to party.
It's been an hour since my first dip and I feel so 'warm'. I feel my hands are 'tingling' and the lights are so bright.
The music is like ... and the lights are ...
Because of the extra serotonine you feel 'happy'/euphoric.
Women are more sensitive to MDMA compared to men.
I'm really warm, but the lights and the music are so great.
Somehow I feel like I'm really 'light'.
Drink enough water, but not too much. Avoid dehydration.
It's been 2.5 hours since I took the MDMA and I feel so great. The lights are awesome. I just want to dance, that's everything I want.
It's feels so great. ... ? ... The lights, the music.
It's been five hours after my lick of MDMA, the party is almost over.
The feeling is slowly fading away, but it was magnificent. The music was great, the people were great, the lights were great.
I hope I feel the same tomorrow morning. I've heard that the hangover is terrible. I'm off to home.
