ecstasy isn’t addictive and cocaine is addictive
x is a very dumb drug it messes with you “happy” chemicals in your brain first time is fun but after that your body stops making “happy” chemicals because your providing them yourself its really easy to fall into deep depression off x and on top of that most x isn’t pure its probably anywhere from 40-65% pure mdmd [chemical name for x] the rest is anything from bleach to rat poison even part crystal meth yo get you “hooked” i really don’t recommend you even try it its not a fun drug and it can get really expensive i at on point was popping 4 x pills a day just to feel “normal” and i have depression and its gotten a lot worse not fun place to be also gives you horrible back pain :/ cocaine is also really scary too because your snorting it its going to the blood near your brain really dangerous its also more addictive then x
Why would you contemplate doing it – it’s bad enough if it’s unplanned and it’s an impulse thing or a peer-pressure. Don’t do it! Don’t you watch Intervention? That show scares the crap out of me. It would make ANYONE think twice before doing something so foolish. Spend your money on better things instead of this garbage that will ruin your health, your familes’ life, and your bank account.
I’ve never done cocaine so I can’t comment on it.
As for ecstasy (assuming you are talking about pure MDMA), it is not physically addictive, meaning you won’t necessarily feel any physical withdrawal symptoms during abstinence, such as twitching, seizures, etc. But if consumed in large amount for long period of time, it certainly may bring psychological addiction, which is purely based on your “urge” to get it (i.e. addiction to video/computer games, bottled water, etc.) But this can be cured through strong self-control, unlike physical addiction which requires supplementary pill/medication to cure. It is overall less addictive than alcohol, aspirin, or caffeine. And no, you certainly can NOT be addicted to it just from dropping a pill or two the first time.
Ecstasy pills can be mixed with other substance, and yes, there has been a case in France where rat poison was found in the pill, but that certainly is not true for 99.9% of the pills out there.
And just as a tip, please leave at least 4 weeks of abstinence from ecstasy before popping another. This makes sure that your tolerance doesn’t build up too quickly. Ecstasy is NOTORIOUS for its quick tolerance.
Oh and to help you recover your depleted seratonin after popping the pill, go to your local pharmacy and grab a bottle of 5-HTP pills and take those for a week after popping. It will help you regenerate the seratonin and get you through the depression period you will most likely suffer after popping (it’s sort of like hangover effect).
Neither MDMA nor cocaine are likely to cause physical dependence, but both are likely to be psychologically addictive, meaning that the experience may be so intensely pleasurable, that it may result in an overwhelming desire to continue using the drug.
Cocaine: Addiction Potential #
One of the most problematic aspects of cocaine is its addictive qualities. While cocaine is not believed to be physically addicting, it is, without a doubt, psychologically addicting. Those who use cocaine heavily or regularly frequently encounter great difficulty ceasing use.
Many people find themselves drawn to overusing both crack and powder cocaine. Initial tolerance develops rapidly, especially with heavy use, though tolerance appears to level off relatively quickly (users do not generally require more and more material over time, once they have reached heavy use).
MDMA: Addiction Potential #
MDMA has the potential to be psychologically addicting. Individuals who use it regularly may find they have an increased desire to continue using it. There is a short period of tolerance after MDMA use. Using MDMA two days in a row is likely to lead to a greatly diminished experience the second day, though spaced 7 or more days apart, this effect is lessened. Some users report noticing reduced effects for up to 2 or 3 weeks after initial use.
