(except i'm broke and don't really pay taxes...lol)

*checking the date*
Holy crap is August 15th unlce sam is knocking on my door with his hand held out!

I couldn't believe how much the gov't wanted back out of me for my measly pay last year. (single male, living alone, made less than $12k in the year). Thats less than 1000 a month. The fed wanted me to ante up another 400-600 bucks for taxes. Gimme a break...yeah and I wouldn't eat for a month. (worth noting my living situation has changed drastically since then)

Lucikly I'm in college so I claimed a few grand in Tuition/Education Credits (even though my parents paid the tuition no way I could afford it) and reduced my taxes to zip.

Peace

likewise..

is there any interest in your basic ball cap
with a mycotopia logo
priced at about $15 including shipping ?
i have to buy 60 at a shot
so i need to know they would be marketable.

a black hat with those mushroom people running... would be cool. (like what was on the back of our shirts)

i'd buy a cap though just cause.

wouldn't be able to wear it round here though..

see above ways:

Excercise like a mofo (fat stores thc, burning fat releases it to be burned off. which also means that the fatter you are the longer you test positive) and drink a lot of water.

do that for a month and you'll feel better (exercise and lots of water are both very good for you) and you'll test clean.

thanks for the website, unfortunately, they too won't ship to my state. i just may have to move to another state.

"We do not ship spores to California or Georgia."

Check sporelab.....they are from Canada.

[chnop35]

I'd take one.

Get a Post Office box out of state. It may be a long drive to get your mail though

2 down,
58 to go.
lol

it's a pretty big investment.

And you could wear them anywhere
regardless of how conservative your living place is.

fsre

look it up

yeah, it's the first test they are going to give me, and i got busted about a month ago, so if i test positive i dont think it will be too much of an issue...
i guess i'll find out at about 6 tonight!

Prius. Be nice to Mom.

just picked up a few tabs of X
and being relatively inexperienced
i'm wondering if a tolerance quickly develops ?

I asked him to "scratch balls," and he was offended... waved a, er, wingtip at me.

i once knew a couple
that had matching jaguars,
one black [license plate HIS]
the other white [license plate HERS]
always thought that was pretty sweet.

It depends on the person just like with any other drug. Brain chemistry, metabolism, body weight.
For the most part though, addiction and tolerance seems to develope a bit faster with X than other drugs. Careful man. That shit literally eats holes in your brain. They do experiments on it at a college near me. They did a brain scan of a person that just took some, and you could see these black specs expanding. Scary. No more for me.

pretty much, i usually take 2-3 a night when i roll

one night i took 2 double stack smily faces, then next night i had to take 3 to achieve the same state of mind.

by any chance could we get fitted hats? I know its a long shot, but i look silly in regular caps

i deffiantly need some myco gear before the phish concert this august

proly not the first hole
i've put in my brain,
it's been a long 46 years.
but i promise to restrain myself.
thx for the concern.

The tolerance is associated with the amount of serotonin (or is it dopamine? its one or the other) remaining in your body.

X works by suddenly releasing the bodys (brain's) stores of serotonin (or dopamine) into the body. It take about 2 weeks to replenish this supply (accounts for the 'down' feeling following X use). So if you "stack" on friday night it's kinda pointless to do so on saturday. At that point most of the effects you are feeling are from the other drugs cut into the MDMA.

I've stayed away from the stuff due to the studies correlating X use and later developing parkinson disease. Apparently the risk is dramatically higher after just one use.

My "dream" car I am going to buy in July this summer:

I love everything about this new model! It is perfect for me. And it is very reasonably priced. Don't laugh at my dream car, I'm only 20 still!

those are the things your brain releases to make you "happy"

good luck

[pskovinsky]

good luck!

You were busted for pot, as i remember. so yeah, being still positive for it a month after being busted isn't out of the ordinary, just be sure they know you haven't been smoking...

you probably ought to stop smoking while your on probation, don't get me wrong, it's not my place to tell you what to do, but if you have random drug testing doing drugs that take up to three months to leave your body isn't the worlds greatest idea...

[pskovinsky]

My advice, don't take more then one enless you have a LOT of body weight to adjust for. i took two, and whoa shit i was real gone and hallucinating(not really something you want to do on E, it generaly means your overheating, which is bad), and drink lots of water/gatoraid (gatoraid because it has important minerals that you can dilute badly just drinking lots of water).

it's great stuff though, wish i had some, have fun with it


EDIT:
AoA is right on with his post, though i think it's just serotonin.

The tests on animals where they gave them TONS of it specificly to "burn holes in their brain" (those holes are places with low serotonin, btw, not actual holes) proved that A) you could damage the serotonin systems of your brain. and that B) animals with that damage from to much X had only one noticeable behaviour change, they didn't fight as much.

I disagree completely. X was never a problem with addiction with me or anyone else I knew who took it. Also there have been other studies to disprove the "hole in your brain" idea. Those studies are often biased studies giving a mouse 20 times the dose a human would take to get fucked up. You can read lots about the unfair studies which have been performed on mdma. Actually the whole "hole in brain" thing started after a special MTV aired about a drug using girl. She used X and eventually blacked out and doctors have told her she now has partial brain damage. But the girl was also a cocaine and heroin addict which also used pcp, K and other drugs. No wonder she had brain problems...I'm not saying X is harmless by no means. Anything that tinkers with brain chemistry, psychedelics and rx medication included, can be dangerous.

As far as tolerance goes, AoA has it right. Your serotonin is all released into your brain so as far as tolerance goes I would wait a week or so inbetween to let your levels get back to normal. You can also help this along by taking 5-htp or melatonin supplements. X is wonderful in combination with mushrooms or lsd imo. Sorry if I went on a rant here but I feel as if MDMA has great potential for use in treating mental problems (I've seen it work as a medicine, it saved a life) and I hate to see people spread information which is not conclusive. Happy rolling.

[python]

they usually wont arrest for a first dirty, but iwould stay completely clean for all the rest........only smoke one or two hits on the first day of the month, if any..........

[python]

Like they say where i work......"Heard!!!!!!!!!!!"

[pskovinsky]

heheheh very nice zen! i feel the same way.

[python]

X.......triggers the release of serotonin..in the brain (this is the exact reason why x is considered bad by some doctors because your body has a storage of all the serotonin it will have for your entire life....when you take X it triggers the release of extra serotonin and therefore lowers your already limited lifetime supply) You mave heard of people being e-tarded which essentially is because of the period of depression that follows an X usuage.....although in most people, the period of depression is not really seen...it is there none-the-less (it also happens with cocaine, etc).

As far as tolerance, i think X stays the same but like with any new drug, you are timid at first and then realize the effects and how much you can handle.....I would recommend 1-2 pills a night for a good time (if they are good)

X is good fun, especially with some shrooms but i have not done it in a good while and do not think i will do it again.....I have taken 1/2 pill at a time, to 9 pills in 4-5 hrs (not recommended)

Do not snort any of the X as people do, i feel it is a waste. Either eat the pill or crush it up and put the powder in a very small piece of toliet paper and twist it up so that you call swallow it (its called parachuting and will make the X hit you faster and more at once, recommended)(this is because the toliet paper dissolves very fast and the pill is already crushed so it dissolves very fast as well) Typically a pill take 45-1hr to hit you but a parachute could take only 20 minutes......Some more info, once i took two pills in club for a paul okenfold show and felt sick to my stomach....my friends were worried but i tiold them that at 45 minutes it would be dissolved and i would be fine, we sat down and at 50 minutes i was having a great time (so don't be worried if that happens unless it is like 2 hrs after ingestion)

Acouple of myths about X is that they contain heroin or other drugs when in actuality this is not true.....erowid has polls that shows that x only had heroin or other drugs in about 2 percent of cases.....for the most part it is good MDMA....

Another myth is that people die of of X because of the drug strictly or because people have drank with it......the few cases of people dying were because X makes you want to move/dance and if you drink too much you get dehydrated, put the two together in a very hot club.....while on a hard drug.....and you are gonna have problems.....

X is however fine and quite fun, just use it in moderation...as i know you will

Hope this helps Hippie......

p.s. rub some inhale in some vicks vapor rub fumes when you are rolling...it feels great....

All the the studies proving it "harmfull" were done by one guy, in one lab, that has a looong history of proving things "bad" by giving insane doses. he's the same one i believe who did it with pot, by basicly hotboxing a monkey's cell with insane levels of pot smoke for a couple months... predictibly, the monkey was toast by the end of it.

I to think that X has incredible potential for helping mental problems, far larger then prozac or any of those, as it can actually help people FIX the problem, rather then just covering it up.

The only danger of E that i believe is the overheating while on it (just like meth, except people on E tend to be dancing/jumping/running around, which makes it worse). heatstroke from E will do some very bad things to you, but it's easily avoidable.

Even if you had a long family history of mental issues(genetic ones, like schizophrenia) i don't think E would bring them out, certinly not as easily as mushrooms or acid, E is a very happy drug, i don't think a bad trip is possible :P

I do know someone who managed to mentaly get himself addicted to it, he believed that since every time he had fun he was on E, he only COULD have fun on E. Nevermind the fact that the real problem was he had way to much E to play with, and every time he could have fun he took some... that kind of addiction is possible with anything, all the way down to weed...

anyway, long rambling blahblah...

The point, is that the studies that proved E being bad were hugely biased to making it bad, by people who make their living proving drugs bad for the government, while the studies that have proven it not bad, were fair ones.

AOL are evil. They over charge by far for a service that costs them very little and then dont even have good enough sodtware and hardware oto provide reliable connection.

[python]

remember that X was first used by psychiatrists (sp?) for their studies until is was made illegal.....

yeah I definately got the finger wave a couple times...

I'd love a hat Hip but it would really depend on the style.
I prefer the older style "regular" full caps compared to the lower cut newer style that won't hold my mane.
socks wouldn't be a bad idea and would prolly be cheaper.
How bout bandanna's ?

A close friend of mine with crippling depression took X and said the experience was like "waking up from a nightmare". Since then she's been a much different, much happier person.
