This is something that a friend of mine picked up at the last rave party in San
|
|
Francisco - so, if there's anyone out there who is interested in doing "E"
|
|
for the first time, read this for a little more information...
|
|
|
|
Don't mind the part about the law controling minors....
|
|
|
|
Anyway, check this out--this is a small flier that was posted and
|
|
all around the space (100,000 sqft)
|
|
|
|

"e info - practical information about ecstacy"
|
|
|
|
The multi-faceted jewel
|
|
|
|
Ectasy catalyzes a powerful experience that takes many
|
|
different forms. It can provoke and intense, energetic,
|
|
spiritual high or lead to warm, loving relaxation. It can
|
|
connect poeple freely and openly with each other or promote
|
|
deep inner thinking and analysis. Sensual yet not neccessarily
|
|
sexual, beautiful and sometimes dangerous, Ecstacy covers a
|
|
wide range of human emotions, experiences, and passions.
|
|
What you put into it is what you get out, so be sure to explore
|
|
the many facets of the experience.
|
|
|
|
Those little annoying side effects
|
|
|
|
Although some people say it has no side effects, Ecstasy is
|
|
not the perfect drug. Users have reported a variety of mild
|
|
physical symptoms such as jaw clencing, teeth grinding, eye
|
|
wiggles, tightened muscles, sweating, chills, increased heart
|
|
rate, blood pressure and body temperature, auditory effects,
|
|
nausea, shaking, and next-day sleepiness. Occasionally it can
|
|
cause toxic reactions in people with asthma, heart conditions,
|
|
diabetes, epilepsy, psychosis, or depression. Remember, Ecstasy is
|
|
a powerful drug. Treat it - and your body - with respect.
|
|
|
|
As time passes...
|
|
|
|
Myths abound concerning Ecstasy's effects after repeated usage.
|
|
Most claims (such as that it causes Parkinson's disease or drains
|
|
spinal fluid) actually refer to other drugs or common misconceptions.
|
|
Although scientists suspect that some nerve terminal damge and
|
|
neurotransmitter depletion in the brain based on animal research, the
|
|
true long term effects and implications remain a mystery until
|
|
further human research becomes legal. By avoiding the temptation
|
|
to use Ecstasy too frequently, you can lessen the risk and have
|
|
more fun.
|
|
|
|
Less is more
|
|
|
|
An active does of Ecstasy depends on one's body weight, sensitivity,
|
|
and prior use. A typical "hit" contains 75-125 milligrams. Over 175
|
|
milligrams increases side effects for many users. Taking a larger dose
|
|
does not neccessarily mean a better experience - it may be more
|
|
"speedy," but less ecstatic.
|
|
|
|
Some tips for Ecstasy users
|
|
|
|
* Drink water to replenish body fluids.
|
|
|
|
* From time to time, stop dancing and chill for a while. Take deep
|
|
breaths and relax.
|
|
|
|
* Maintain a healthy lifestyle outside the raves: eat a balanced diet,
|
|
take vitamins, and get plenty of sleep.
|
|
|
|
* Remember: Less is more. Large or frequent doses can increase
|
|
the side effects without adding to the experience.
|
|
|
|
* Integrate what you've learned. Think about your thoughts and
|
|
feelings and try to apply them to real life.
|
|
|
|
* Much of what is sold as Ecstasy is not pure MDMA. Be cautious of what
|
|
you buy and who you buy it from. Impurities may include
|
|
amphetamine, LSD, heroin, or PCP.
|
|
|
|
* Alcohol can reduce or change the effects of Ecstasy, and the
|
|
combination can cause undesired effects.
