-
- 1. Health
- check your physical condition. MDMA puts serious strain on the
- body. Before taking it try to be healthy and rested. Your heart,liver
- and kidneys all have to work harder. Avoid taking MDMA if you are on
- anti-depressants. Your mental health is important also. If you feel
- that you are uneasy about taking it and not comfortable with being
- that open with yourself, and having your image stripped from yuo then
- don't do it or wait.
-
- 2.Situation
- find a situation you feel comfortable and safe in. large parties
- or raves seem to be of the favourite places to take, and if you feel
- as if your bugging out find someone that is SOBER to talk you down or
- someone with a somewhat level head on them. E is ideal to take with a
- lover you are sure about. it gives you the ability to explore your
- relationship and each other.(not sexually). E at home would be ideal
- in a spacious room where you feel secure and can let yourself go
- without arousing the neighbours. It is also nice to take E outside in
- warm weatherand pleasant and familiar surroundings. It is important to
- feel free to express yourself without inhibition or interruption.
-
- 3.Looking After Yourself
- if you are feeling doubts or anxieties about taking E but still
- want to take it nonetheless take a small dose, and then wait a little
- over an hour to take the next bit.(half a dose is quite enough for
- first time users). Drink as much water as you like, but avoid alcohol
- and other drugs, and if you are DANCING, realise that you may be
- dangerously overheated even without feeling uncomfortable. LOOK AFTER
- FRIENDS AND GET THEM TO LOOK AFTER YOU. Taking vitamin C and E may
- help reduce exhaustion. Get good sleep afterwards.
-
- 4.Guide
- if you are at home choose someone to guide you that you feel
- comfortable with and have no reason to feel emberassed about showing
- your feelings to and your failings.
-
- 5.Preparations
- at home make sure that you will not be disturbed, by the phone
- door etc... Make sure they have comfortable places to sit or lie down.
- AT HOME AND AT THE RAVE MAKE SURE YOU HAVE PLENTY OF FRUIT JUICE AND
- WATER ON HAND TO DRINK,AND CHEWING GUM OR SOOTHER TO PREVENT JAW
- CLENCHING. Wear LOOSE, LIGHT CLOTHING but have extra clothes and a
- downy blanket on hand in case you need to warm up. Bring personal
- objects that you are fond of----things to handle and look at,or
- perhaps some photographs of people you are fond of. Have pleasant
- things to look at, smell and touch.---flowers, essential oils and
- silks. Just let it happen and go with it. do what your urges tell you.
-
- 6.Timing
- the full effect of MDMA lasts about 3-4 hours, but set aside a
- good 8 hours to a whole weekend to recoperate and go over what has
- occurred. this is a learning experience also.
