Why MDMA is destroying EDM
"My time at Perry's Stage during Lollapalooza 2011 opened my eyes to the new culture of electronic dance music. Just a few years earlier, Perry's was a small, barely lifted stage situated within the wooded area of Grant Park. By August 2011, a new form of dubstep was taking over American dance music, and with the influx of these blistering beats stormed an entirely new demographic of EDM fanatic."

The danger with molly is that you might end up having the time of your life.

[billllama]

I didn't suffer the depression the day after. I actually felt quite good and happy with the world. Molly makes you understand what love and happiness really is.

[AMPup]

The only bad thing about molly is not being able to find it

[TheTodesweib]

Cut with LSD? HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHA oh man that would be great if it was true.

[hhhhhhhhhhhgdd]

the problem with molly is now there's scars on the insides of my cheeks like the joker.

I did molly a couple days ago for the first time. Easily the BEST I've ever felt in my life. Pure unaldulterated joy. If done carefully and correctly, there's nothing wrong with doing it. Just don't abuse it.

[bigmanstevens]

you lost all credit when you said it could be cut with lsd

[perplexiveofficial]

Ive been around this scene for a long time, and i have done my very fair share of MDMA, and in my personal opinion as long as you take precautions to reduce possible harm like having water on hand while high, eating good enough meals that day, and not over doing it on dosage, you can have a really great, and safe night. Nothing is good for you if you treat your body badly by not eating and staying hydrated.

Just putting it out there, Molly is the best drug ever. It turned my unsocial shy friend into the most open and friendly person who could talk to anybody. And its not just during the high, but after you realize how great it is just being happy and you become a better person. 

[iBangGOODMusic]

Popped a Molly. I'm sweating....

[yunkinto]

first of all
im here for a good time


not a long one

Buy from reputable dark net vendors. Get some test kits and test your molly (for purity and adulterants). Decide on a reasonable dose (and maybe one redose) and don't take more than that with you to wherever you're going to party. Hydrate yourself with sport drinks (or anything with electrolytes). Read up as much as you can on the drug, don't just listen to some dude on youtube. Go out there and live. Resist the temptation of doing it more than 5-6 times a year. Responsible drug use can significantly improve your life. Drug abuse can turn it into shit. Don't play yourself.

The only danger is an unintended pregnancy.

[brian-ytre]

Just because it’s a class A drug doesn’t mean it’s dangerous. It only means the government says it’s dangerous. Not the same thing.

[noidontmindtherain]

I've taken molly few times all it does is make you open up your feelings with friends or makes you happier than you were before.

[coltfshr]

Molly is a bad ass drug and should be tried by everyone. 

[amberkushmurray]

me and molly had some good times back in the day

[DJbassrevolution]

Tip's for a good time: only buy crystal molly and ALWAYS test it the Marquis kit works fine and is easy to carry around. Also drink a lot of fluids not just water Swim typically drinks both water and gateraid/poweraid both contain electrolytes. Molly isn't bad or scary and the class 1 schedule is bs because many medical values have been shown.

[erictheviking]

sounds like if you drink maybe a small bottle of Gatorade in between two glasses of water, you will be golden.

Words cannot describe the feeling this drug gives you. Popping 1 or 2 and attending a music festival will give you an experience you will never forget. I've never had so much fun in my life.
