MDMA
don’t be stupid with MDMA!! While it’s not physically addictive, it can be psychologically addictive.

And then, about 20–30 minutes later [after my second dose]…
It hit me like a Cat 5 hurricane, and everything in my life changed.
Trying to describe the MDMA experience to someone who hasn’t done it, is like trying to explain The Matrix to someone who hasn’t seen the movie.
The best way to describe it: I felt true love.
@UntilTrees experience seems to be similar to what’s described here
Below are tweets to get a flavour for what MDMA has done for people.
“When I [was on MDMA and] asked that girl [if she would like to kiss], I felt curious about her answer; like I would have been completely ok if she said no. And that's a new feeling” https://t.co/SySjIctB0s

“Trying to describe the [high-dose] MDMA experience to someone who hasn’t done it, is like trying to explain The Matrix to someone who hasn’t seen it.

The best way I can describe it: I felt true love. The purest, most true, most deep love I’d ever felt.”https://t.co/gl9BCzq6IH

The last few times I did mdma with some close friends, what is coming up beside the big amount of love and understanding is unprocessed trauma.

They tell me how they got bullied in highschool, times when they could not fit in at work, family relations.
They never do this sober.
Interesting discussion - some highlights:
Idk man MDMA was the thing that taught me how to not dislike myself and it threw me onto a whole new life trajectory

I was intending to use it recreationally and instead had a life changing epiphany about self-love
Only needed to take it once for that
- She’s linked her experience here - it’s a good, short read (with some critical warnings)
it’s honestly shocking how life changing it can be in just a few hours. Every second of what it means to be alive forever after can be different, because you like who you are

I’m struggling to understand your perspective. Almost everyone is abused by a constant self-hating voice in their head, and it’s completely unnecessary. People who replace it with love usually get more “productive”. More importantly, beings deserve a good life

Hmm I think that is less of a risk than people might worry about? The feelings it generates cause you to want to increase quality of life for yourself in a compassionate way

Seems like that might be not-compatible with the spaced out on soma type situation
- MDMA is risky in that it might make you jump into things that you might regret
Even if you’re just with a friend? I avoid taking MDMA like the plague around anyone I’m not ready to marry on the spot, I imagine people who are more sensitive could do the same with phenibut. And that’s just emotional risk, nevermind physical risk

I did an MDMA retreat last weekend and I think it kind of changed my life. Ongoing thread of thoughts from that experience, MDMA, self-compassion, etc

One reason I’m grateful for MDMA is that at high doses it can show people how hilariously high their love ceiling is. Rather, it’s at least as high as that
