I've never used hard drugs or most party drugs before, but I'm curious what the high is like from them

Teacake?

You should definitely ask one of Teacake's five hundred aliases. That junkie knows all the highs. And all the lies.

0/10

I bet this is Teacake themself.

In space, no one can hear you scream.

Loved coke. It was so much fun. Just being on it, talking, laughing. Great time. And bottoming was heaven on coke. Topping? Not so much.

But it's definitely a young man's drug. The rebound time became not worth the fun around 33-34. Haven't done it since, but I might if the situation was perfect to do so.

Did meth twice and hated it.

Haven't done any of the others you listed.

Oh, I've done molly a ton. An amazing drug if it's good. I hate dancing, but became a YAAS KWEEN on molly. Again, it became not worth it as I got older. The hangover was too intense.

I can only speak to MDMA/molly and this goes back 10-20 years to my late 30s and 40s, but it is euphoric and buzzy and sensual... they call it 'ecstasy' for a reason. Well known for spreading "eros" across the skin and away from the genitals, so you feel very sexual all over but (if male) you cannot get an erection.

In my experience there was a surprising cost exacted brain-wise and mood-wise a day or two later. it knocks out your serotonin levels and you have to rebuild. And it's not a good drug for energetic dancing or socializing or high energy sex, the way I've seen coke do for others. But for me it was delicious when it was good... a temporary bubble of heaven to just cuddle and canoodle and make out with someone hot, while rolling on molly.

Op just say no. There are so many incredible strains of weed. Don’t do narcotics. Just fkin say no. They ruin lives.

And then she died...

Shut up, asshole.

R9 What have I done and I didn’t make this thread. It’s true. Just say no. Shit is terribly addictive. 2 months strong here.

I guess I'm old. I had no idea that molly was the same thing as Ecstasy. When I was young I did MDA. That was a great drug.

[quote] When I was young I did MDA.

Jerry Lewis?

Does anyone do LSD anymore?

"MDA, also called “Sally” or “Sassafras,” produces euphoria, increased energy levels, enhanced sensory perception and empathy, and altered time perception.

MDA tends to produce stronger visual and auditory hallucinations compared to MDMA, as MDMA is typically more associated with a more pronounced empathogenic and euphoric experience.

MDA is also considered to have more stimulant properties and can provide a greater boost in energy levels compared to MDMA. It also typically takes 2–4 hours longerTrusted Source to be fully eliminated from the body than MDMA.

Similar to MDMA, MDA’s action on serotonin receptors can lead to negative psychological aftereffects such as depression, anxiety, and fatigue that may be experienced for several days following use."

I did E (now called whatever) back in the early aughts and the come down was so brutal I was suicidal. I never experienced acute depression like that before. I also woke up in bed with my ex the next morning with very little recall of what I did the night before. Apparently I had the good sense to call him and he came and got me. He said I was leaning precariously over a balcony at someone's place who I had just met that night.

I too stick to cannabis now. Very little alcohol and when I do it's a glass of wine, tops.

R11, I'm not sure when it happened, but MDMA was "rebranded" from ecstacy to molly at some point during the 2000s. I only found out myself thanks to the very nice, but slightly ridiculous, assumptions of a 22-year-old who assumed I was "around his age" when we had this particular talk (I was 37 at the time). And yes, he was gay and cute and offered me some molly, and we proceeded to have awesome sex for the next few hours.

R13 yes and it’s enlightening for the creative soul.

Teacake, you have no soul.

R18 your obsession with me is flattering but also a little scary. You are loved. I love you.

Why people want to fuck with their brain chemicals I will never understand.

Drugs Are Groovy

Special K is made by Kelloggs. The original flakes are my fave.

R20, it sounds like you've internalized one too many "Just Say No!" commercials with Nancy Reagan. Most drugs don't "fuck with your brain chemicals" any more or less than alcohol does, and alcohol is a FAR more dangerous drug than any variety of soft one, including MDMA and definitely weed. LSD is the only one that "fries your brain," but even then that only happens after using it A LOT.

I certainly don't endorse becoming a drug addict, but I also don't endorse living with a huge stick lodged up your bum like R20. I've at least tried most of the drugs mentioned here – my permanent no-go exceptions are heroin/opioids & LSD – and survived to tell the tale.

Molly and Ecstasy are not the exact same thing. Molly is pure MDMA, while E is MDMA cut with speed (alongside dealer's choice of various and sundry fillers).

It's why E was favored for high energy raving (and has the associated "gurning"), while generally, the most you can physically manage on Molly is rolling around on a rug like a fat little baby and gentle petting.

Ecstasy has fallen out of favor because it's too much of a gamble to know exactly what you'll be getting in the pill you take and how dangerous it might be. Not to mention the hangover is about a million times worse because you've not only depleted your serotonin stores, but your dopamine as well. It's just a very unsafe drug.

[quote] I only found out myself thanks to the very nice, but slightly ridiculous, assumptions of a 22-year-old who assumed I was "around his age" when we had this particular talk (I was 37 at the time).

Why, the exact same thing always happens to me!

I rely upon special k to get me back in swimsuit shape in April and May. It has a very crunchy texture and it's not very sweet I typically will slice some bananas and always use skim milk! It's my favorite way of maintaining my figure!

Fentynol finds its way in to so many party drugs these days. I'm too chicken shit to even indulge anymore. Since weed is legal, cheap and readily available, that's all I need.

R27 Good on you. Narcotics is wack. Acid can be safe and career changing.

"Why people want to fuck with their brain chemicals I will never understand."

I respect that choice. And I usually stay drug free, including no habitual cannabis which seems more addictive to me (based on judgey observation) than its regular users like to claim. Gotta say though, there is a valid philosophical argument for leaning into "YOLO" a little bit sometimes. The right drug at the right time in the right context can be a peak life experience. It truly can. But YES to R27, it is important to be able to know and trust your source these days.

R24, it's slightly embarrassing that I know this, but molly was pure MDMA when it first became popular – emphasis on the past tense. As it so happens, I took some and tripped harder than I ever had previously circa 2010 or so, with a group of friends about 15 years my junior. Since then, however, it's been adulterated with speed and random shit just like ecstacy was, and is now little more than a name.

The possibility of needing test strips to determine whether or not your stuff has been laced with fentanyl has kind of killed that last lingering relapse fantasy I've always carried. The fondness of Chemsex is a potent affliction in and of itself, now you gotta factor in test strips and NARCAN? Yuck.

Fentanyl has ruined so very much in so many ways..

and MDA was my absolute favorite...

How about psychedelic mushrooms?

Drug user here.

I don't do Molly or X anymore, mostly because I don't go to EDM shows and I'm single and world rather be home with my cat and dog. I did love it though it can be too intense emotionally. Like I love so hard on it I cry and that's not a good look dancing. It's better to be with a partner or bff that's on it too that don't mind touching and overtures of love. Plus The apathy hangover is real, but I can counter that with all Adderall.

I take ketamine about once every 2-3 months. I think I've posted about it on here before, but I have elaborate set up with Big Joe beanbag, weighted blanket, eye mask, and experimental/drone-y music. It's probably the closest thing to feeling the "divine." It can be analogous to some sort of religious or spiritual ecstasy- and does seem to get me out of a funk.

LSD is my favorite and I reserve for backcountry camping because it's a lot better in nature and stargazing is intense on acid. My friend and I, a doctor btw, who introduced me to LSD,do it maybe three times a year in places like Zion, Joshua Tree, Big Bend, and Sequoia. It will probably be fewer times now that I bought a house and need to tend to it.

Shrooms to me feel less emotional connection to nature and can do that in urban landscape, but usually don't. I'm lazy when it comes to drugs and I never get the dosage right with shrooms.

Coke is stupid and expensive.

I've never done meth and heroin- which were my brothers' d.o.c. and they're both fucked up from it.

Also never done DMT, ayahuasca, etc but will try one day.

I’ve done therapeutic ketamine through an IV many times. Ketamine makes you disassociate. I drift away and what I usually experience is something like travelling through space with many colours and amorphous shapes. That’s me though. I spend around an hour in the k-hole. The correct dose is based in your weight and tolerance. It’s really easy to be a bit dizzy or nauseated afterwards, so you want to start lower your first time. People experiences it differently. Most are neutral or positive, but a minority of people have terrifying experiences. It’s really important to have someone watching you. I’m in a clinical environment when I do it, so I can relax and enjoy the ride.

Sugar combined with fat produces a very pleasant high.

I’m into Celsius energy drink. No crash! It’s healthy energy and oh so tasty. I’m enjoying an apple/pear Celcius right now! Just a bit of carbonation to make it fun! Zip!

I've also done therapeutic ketamine, but this is NOT the thread for it. We already have a shitload of opposition to "leftists wanting to legalize their favorite party drugs" bullshit going on, and given that ketamine actually works as therapy, conflating it with its recreational use isn't helpful.

I'm a little curious where R35 lives: I'd love to do it "many times," but unfortunately my insurance doesn't cover it, and that shit costs $400 per (roughly hourlong) session. Yes, they hook you up to an IV, and usually have you lying in a chaise of some sort (but not fully flat), and they base your dose on your weight coupled with how you responded to the previous dose. When I tried it, they upped me by 20mg each time. While it was definitely enjoyable and peaceful, it unfortunately did not help with my specific type of depression. (It works on the severely depressed, but I'm not at that point.)

I’ve never had sex with 7 guys at once.

I have had sex with 6 guys at once.

No drugs either.

Does Pamprin count?
