I can't believe erowid is still up. I was obsessed with this site back in 2005, would spend hours reading and learning about all the different drugs. Never was much into drugs beyond marijuana, but then I tried MDMA one night and had an almost spiritual experience on it. It became a personal passion of mine that lasted about 6 months, and in that time frame I tried LSD, mushrooms, a variety of pills, even mescaline. Eventually I had a very bad experience on drugs and decided it was best not to continue the journey, but nothing ever came close to what I had experienced that first time with MDMA.

- pmoriarty 5y ago"nothing ever came close to what I had experienced that first time with MDMA" The common experience of there being something special/magical about the first time on MDMA (and some other compounds) is evidence that it's probably changing your brain in some way. Hopefully with more research we'll eventually figure out what's happening there and make every use just as magical.
- droopyEyelids 5y agoI have solved this mystery for myself, and the answer was 'the burden of expectations' is what has changed. To reset tolerance, I have to wait till I've forgotten what the experience is really like, and only have vague memories.

- jotm 5y agoIt still is a great resource when deciding whether to try something or not. Nowadays, Reddit has replaced it, more people post there :/
