As someone more on the hippy side I'd say be careful simply lumping MDMA in with party drugs. It's certainly used by partiers but it's a drug that adapts your mood to the environment and therefore, in a quiet and controlled environment, has very deep uses for introspection, advanced thought and instead of seeing things as you would when taking a trip, you feel like your body is in another place while your state of mind remains relatively lucid. It's a trip for the body and laser for the mind and would be one of the most important tools I've used for dealing with a violent past (as in being on the receiving end).
Lumping it in with cocaine, which in my (not so humble) opinion is the drug of choice for narcissists, seems unfair.
- meri_dian 9y agoI was actually hesitant to group MDMA and cocaine together. While on MDMA I've always felt a deep emotional connection to people, one that has a hallucinogenic feel to it, while on cocaine I just feel really powerful and up which is awesome but not at all hallucinogenic or spiritual. But people still largely take MDMA to party which is why I decided to put it with cocaine.
