* But from the people I actually know, including myself, almost everyone who was trying something new for the first time would first check what a normal dosage was and then take like 1/4th, or less depending on what type of drug, of that first just to see what to expect.* My younger self wouldn't recognise that kind of behaviour. The first time I took ecstasy, I ended up taking five pills over the night. That seems like bizarre, reckless behaviour to me now, but trying telling that to my younger self. He was bizarre and reckless.
