just no need to say that EVERYONE knows how great it is, because not everyone needs it to feel great/happy/euphoric/to appreciate the music

well some ppl do it bc it helps you stay up till the end of the event without torturing yourself...keeps me nice and awake...doesn't mean i need it to enjoy the music though...music's great regardless

ummm...no...i don't think an energy drink is all it takes for me to comfortably stay up for 10,11hrs straight at a big event....unless I drink a bunch and have a heart attack..i'm sure it works for some ppl and that's great but honestly doesn't work for me..especially as i barely come out to parties which means when i do...i'm gonna be up for at least 11,12 hrs straight and i wanna enjoy it and stay up comfortably

I wanna add that its interesting how the openness, positivity, and self-confidence, among other things, MDMA influences isn't JUST when under the influence of the chemical...the effects actually stay when NOT under the influence...(for most i presume, not all OBV).

Its almost as if once you learn mentally how to control those aspects of yourself, you just keep doing it and remain that way...
You stay open, positive, and self-confident days, weeks, and yrs afterwards....

Parts of the article seems to support that:

quote:
"Patients in our study had a fear of the fear," Wagner says. "Something about the MDMA made it possible for them to approach the feared thought, the feared 'place' in their mind -- and when they got there, it wasn't as terrible as they thought. A lot of these people, the light bulb went off, they had the insight, but there's still a lot of work to do. They've had this for years, it's shaped their lives, and now they have to rebuild them."

Pretty f'in fascinating imo
