Hmm I would have to disagree with whatever research this person is presenting. I am not an avid "pusher" of taking drugs, but taking a *small* dose once a year is going to have little to no affect. Before I judge, I would have to wonder what the dose is that she is using to base on this once-per-year study? Is she referring to immediate or long term affects? I also concentrated in biopsychology and neuroscience, (ie: I have taken 5-6 advanced courses, not just one lecture) and I never read any research that would agree with this. And trust me when I say that I was VERY well read in these subjects. Like the last poster said, everyting in moderation, while taking safety precautions.

And, as someone who prefers drinking, but has taken a pill or two on special occasions, I can tell you that in "my experience" the quality has absolutely gone down. In the past five-six years I have used no more than twice a year, so I can assure you it is not my tolerance, but, more my perception to the change in quality.

Then again: Toronto isht >>>>>NYC isht. True story

Also, I'll be the first to admit that yeah most of my time being annoyed with the scene is because I haven't gone to many other places to explore 'better' music/vibe etc. Before it was just so easy, you could go to a few places regularly and it would be consistently good.
Now some of those places are consistently mediocre.

One of my top fav parties in the last few years though was being completely blown away by Max Graham at Footwork when he dropped an amazing amazing melodic trance set (non cheese, minimal vocals and when he did drop vocals they were QUALITY).

I want MORE like that.

Actually, I just realized that you started in 2005, so that changes my statement bit, because most of the quality "stuff" I was referring to was 2000-2004 (literally!)





Also, as for Armin, thats kind of a poor reference, because even some of us ol skoolers thought armin was brilliant in his early days (ie: Club Eau set, Godskitchen, etc...) and gone down the cheese road as of the last few years

A lot of the shit in NYC comes from Toronto, or Canada at least.

I admit, that was a bit of a hyperbole on my part, but at least from my pov there's certain people that look at J00F as if he can do no wrong, much like the younger generation looking at Armin like that.

I do agree with you, as I saw Armin at the first LoL I went to back in 2005, and oh how the mighty have fallen.

Most of the time. The triple stacked white kappas I got from NYC in like 2007-2008 were craaaaaazy good. Just as good as anything I've ever had in TO.

Oh yes then for sure it was sudden. Night and day seemed like...

But I see what you mean. I can see a huge difference even between the Guv from 2006 and the Guv now. It's like the cast of Jersey Shore and all of their 1,000 brothers, sisters, and cousins go there now.

PS. VDub I know that was you I saw up on the speakers fist pumping with your shirt off 2 weekends ago.

oh dear, well I will take your word for it, because I have never taken more than one at a time, and usually take a half. Triple stacks would kill me!! LOL remember, I havent done that shit in soooo long, and very rarely. I believe you.




yeahhh I miss the old Armin. He played a lot more progressive and spacey trance and had some banger productions. Like all the threads state though, people move on, sometimes not in our favor.

I was completely blown away the first time I saw Armin. Back then (I haven't been to a LoL in a couple years so I'm not sure if it's still the case) but I was there from 10pm-10am. Add to that the fact it was my first time taking E and I took 4 1/2, and

Single/Double/Triple stacked means nothing and doesnt directly correlate to the strength of the pill... the only difference is one is bigger than the other but thats it... biggest myth ever!
