I have never done it, but I knew a lot of people in high school that did it (late 90s rave scene). It’s like an advance of all your happiness for the next week all at once, but then after it wears off, you are depressed for a week. I don’t think I would consider that based on what I saw it do to my friends.
People who use recreationally are taking way too high a dose and way too often compared to what they are doing with the Vets in PTSD. Its a controlled session with a therapist. They aren't taking so much that they feel the withdrawals from it. The Yt video i mentioned discusses and this, the rave scene, and the negative effects it had on abusers.
Okay, fair enough
You’re assuming you received a pure pharmaceutical grade product when you likely received someone made in someone’s basement with the very least understanding of the process they could attain to make their drug.
Half the time what was sold on streets was a research Chem that was similar enough to pass.
Really good, pure mdma is not like that. You may feel a little drained the next day but typically people reporting that were also at a rave the night before, dehydrated, drunk and also smoking weed.
The study that claimed it burns holes in your brain was also proven a lie. They were giving people methamphetmine in that study either accidentally or knowing full well what they were doing.
The trick to doing MDMA recreationally is to do it when you're depressed as fuck! Can't have a depression hangover if that's how you feel all the time!
