I’ve had bad trips on MDMA and know several other people who’ve also had the same experience.
- cbsks 2y agoFascinating! Would you mind describing your experiences? I’ve done MDMA dozens of times and I’ve never come close to a “bad trip” unless I mixed it with another drug such as LSD.
- lq9AJ8yrfs 2y agoIf bad trip includes overdose or drug interactions, serotonin syndrome [1] is possible. The wiki even cites mdma as a cause. [1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serotonin_syndrome https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serotonin_syndrome
- globular-toast 2y agoNah, that doesn't count. There are countless ways you can hurt yourself with things around the house if you use them wrong. Most people aren't educated about safe drug use (thanks to abstinence policy), yet the number of people having serious problems as a result of MDMA use is still lower than many other activities.
- owenversteeg 2y agoExactly. There isn't a substance on earth that won't harm you when contaminated with impurities/taken at the wrong dose/taken with something else that interacts badly. Thankfully HN has trolls standing by with useless pedantry to keep us safe :)
- cbsks 2y agoYes, there are serious drug interactions that can occur with MDMA. The one I’m most familiar with is not to take MDMA if you also take any MAOI, which is listed in that article. Being hospitalized would certainly lead to a bad trip, in my opinion.
