Background Daily weed smoker since the age of 24 (mostly at night after work, hitting about 1-2 joints). Until this experience, I have rolled once on mdma which felt really good at the time and got the blues after 2 days (I will write this experience some other time). Used to drink heavily (for my body mass) as an undergraduate usually once every week but stopped after starting to smoke Cannabis at the age of 23 (joints seemed much better than the alcohol buzz) and I only drink occasionally (maybe once a month or so) in social situations (about one or two drinks) just for the nice taste of a beer or whisky. Experience report This roll on MDMA was done at the house of a friend of my brother. We went there for the weekend and a friend of ours had some 0.5 grams of crystal MDMA, so we decided to just chill, smoke some joints and roll on molly. At about 18:00 we rolled a joint (unknown mass of weed, just eyeballing it until the eye is satisfied) and I crushed some MDMA eyeballing it (the amount I crushed was about 100-150mg based on my experience with measured doses with a milligram scale). The crushed crystals were dissolved in a bottle of 500ml iced tea and passed around me, my brother and the friend who brought the MDMA (the friend who had the house didn’t want to roll with us because he said he felt like a junkie doing that stuff so he just stayed on smoking joints with us). Timeline T+ 0:00 – while the joint is going in circles, I prepare the “magic tea” and we start taking sips from the bottle. The joint is pretty good and the known head high of marijuana is clear in the first 5-10 mins. T+ 0:30 – Until this time, we were talking and toking and have already smoked the second joint until the strange feeling of something different is felt. I know that feeling, I know that sense of solar wind blowing on my face, I’m starting to “feel the spider senses tingling” as a best friend of mine likes to describe it. T+ 0:45 – My hands are wet from sweat and my body is feeling like electricity is running through it. My head is cloudy (probably from the joints), but this is somewhat enhanced by the MDMA. I’m starting to feel the bliss and love madam has to offer me, but it is somewhat like a threshold of the feelings. We continued talking until… T+ 1:20 – We rolled another joint and decided to drink another bottle of “magic” so my brother and my friend call to me to prepare it again. I eyeball what I believed was a fair amount and the bottle begins its circular ride again. T+ 2:00 – Now I can feel all the sun’s energy in my face, everything seems beautiful, it is a nice summer evening and it’s damn hot, so we decide to go to a bar near the beach for some coctails. We order mojitos and they were ok but at the time it seemed like mana from heaven. All three of us (except that one friend and his gf) were rolling pretty good with nice feelings for each other and elevated mood. We remained at the bar for about two hours and left as the effects were somewhat fading and we were able to go home safe. T+ 5:00 – We are home, the time is around 23:00 and we decide to order some gyros since we haven’t eaten since afternoon. Everybody believed that we would not be able to eat due to the appetite suppression, but surprisingly enough we all ate like we were starving (I believe the munchies from the joints overcame the appetite suppression of molly). The food tasted great as always does when the munchies kick and we decide to prepare another magic bottle. T+ 6:00 – The food has settled in our bellies and I prepare another bottle of magic while my brother rolls a fat one. I’m eyeballing it again and have about the same amount as the two previous bottles. The powder goes into the ice tea bottle and with the force of nature (and my hand’s) it is ready. The joint is lit and the bottle folloes the circular route of the joint. T+ 6:30 – Everybody feels the effects coming strong and steady. The girlfriend of our friend has gone to sleep so we can talk more freely with him about other matters. We talk about how we feel and everybody is in a blissful state (except the guy with the house who has only smoked some joints with us). I don’t remember exactly what we were talking about, and lost track of time. Everything felt great and I felt connected with my brother and our friends. I was mostly silent after the joint was finished and just listened to what others were saying. My mind would drift from thought to thought and everything had a meaning, but I could not express it with words. Just like I knew the information but could not explain it. T+ 8:00 – I look at the time and it was around 02:00 in the morning. My mobile’s screen was leaving traces and seemed like it was moving really fast sideways like the tracers in windows xp. I could not focus on the screen; everything was hazy and could not extract information about what I was reading because I could not see well. I had no interest in scrolling through Instagram or facebook and rather wanted to listen to the conversation being held at the time. Our friend (who was not rolling) was talking about something and behind him there were some bush like decorative plants. That’s when I started having visual effects. The leaves or whole plant seemed like it was made in 8-bit graphics and the were rotating clockwise and counterclockwise like they were in a game. I wasn’t able to keep both of my eyes open because the double vision was really bad, so I kept staring at him with one eye open like a pirate. That means I had lost the depth in my vision. As I was looking at him, he seemed like he was in a TV panel or something, with the bushes behind him dancing. His face seemed normal, but instantly he would seem like he is sketched like pop art and suddenly he would be normal again. Then for unknown reason I saw him like he was some kind of superhero, and all made sense since I was seeing him in a TV panel. Then I looked behind him and saw a tree. The tree started rotating around its axis. I didn’t say anything to my brother or our other friend because I thought that it might be my imagination or the heavy cannabis use we had that day. Then suddenly I saw our friend wearing glasses; all kinds of glasses, from aviators to wayfarer to John Lennon style, to clear aviators etc. The glasses would appear and disappear by themselves. I knew it had something to do with MDMA. Then I saw him wearing headphones. Big Red Beats by Dre. They also appeared and disappeared by themselves. T+ 9:00 – Our friend (who was not rolling) went to sleep so we decided to roll another joint and go to sleep. My brother and friend were somewhat out of commission, so I had to do all the “paperwork” although I was really stoned too. I managed to roll a fat joint and decided to tell my brother and friend about seeing our friend with glasses and we were all in awe as my brother said he saw him too and our friend saw him too! That’s when we knew it was the MDMA doing its things. My brother told me that he saw our friends eyes looking like his mouth and whenever he talked, his eyes talked too. We laughed as everybody admitted that nobody wanted to mention seeing things. The guys told me they’ve never seen hallucinations with MDMA and since I was the one to prepare the magic iced tea, they awarded me the title of Panoramix hahaha. We continued talking and took some photos of us where we seemed like we were sucked out of our lives, but we felt great inside. T+ 10:00 – The time has passed, and I had lost track of it. It was about 05:00 in the morning and the sky started taking the colors of dawn. That’s when all the effects of molly were cleared like the day took away the things done in the night. No high from the joints, no high from molly. We all went to sleep, and everybody slept well (except for our friend who woke up two hours later and came to see if we were awake and in for a joint or anything, but we were lying on our beds like sandbags) until we woke up at 14:00 in the afternoon. T+ 20:00 – We woke up pretty well and had some coffee. I felt calm and nice, no blues or a bad comedown. We went to the beach and had some fun and discussed about the things we saw while rolling. It was a very nice experience and I never thought I would see things like that. It is worth to mention that we drank three bottles of rigged iced tea with about 100-150 mg of MDMA in each one, so everyone had taken about the same dose of approximately 100-150 mg. We had not tested the substance for purity, so I don’t know how much exactly we have taken. Also, we stayed there for a day, and I managed to smoke all of my hand rolling tobacco (30 grams). I needed to smoke a lot while I was rolling and I knew it was bad, but it felt so nice doing so. Like I had the best cigarettes of my life. Strangely I had no sore throat or at least I didn’t feel anything in the morning after.
