Ecstasy....?

taking some monday for the second time.
after school, and with my friend.
its gonna be a triple and im 15 and 5'4"
last time i took a triple and i was.......... so happy. it was sooo much fun. i know to drink water.. but not too much water. and i have a binky.

wat're the chances im gonna die?

The risk of dying from MDMA alone (pure 'ecstasy') is statistically quite improbable; erowid.com estimates the risk at approximately 2 deaths per 100,000 users.

The majority of these MDMA-only related deaths are attributable to 3 main causes:
1) Heatstroke (overheating and not drinking enough water to compensate)
2) Hyponatremia (water intoxication; drinking far too MUCH water)
3) Pre-existing health problems (heart disease, etc)

In actual fact, the vast majority of Ecstasy-related deaths are attributable to the user having combined MDMA with other drugs, either unknowingly (in the form of taking 'dirty' pills, containing amphetamines, pcp, or worse) or knowingly (in the form of drinking alcohol, snorting cocaine, or taking opiates on top of the MDMA).

Unfortunately, dirty pills are far more common than pure pills. If you do not have a testing kit (available at sites such as dancesafe.org), you are taking your chances with potentially ingesting all sorts of unwanted substances. The fact that you speak of taking 'triple' pills (more commonly referred to as 'triple stacked') in itself raises the risk that you have unpure pills.

As thedea.org says, "[triple stacked pills] are physically larger pills. The name (and usually the dealers) imply that they contain 2-3 times the usual amount of MDMA. Don't fall for it鈥搕he size of a pill doesn't reliably have anything to do with how much MDMA is in it. Most of the weight/bulk of pills is from binders; food-safe chemicals used to hold the pill together."

What does this mean for you? Since the pill is physicially larger but only contains as much MDMA as a normal-sized pill, it means that it has to be storing a large amount of some other substance just to make up its bulk. At best, this other substance could just be more pill binder, at worse, it could be holding one or more drugs that are not MDMA. Generally, smaller pills are safer.

50/50

i've never tried ecstasy, but you should quit now!!!!!!!!!!!! the results are devastating, you could fry your brain.........you are only 15 and you may be tryjng other drugs soon, do something else that makes you happy...you are only 15 and you have lots of life to live (without the X of course).

Let's see...if you don't burn up your brain from the heat it causes....or

wind up in bed with someone you don't know, exposing yourself to potentially endless or fatal infections...then

X takes all of the happy juice out of your brain. Even if you don't die, you might never feel content again.

Still think it's worth it?

The "happiness" you feel is not natural. Taking drugs is disrespectful to your body and totally irresponsible. So many accidents can happen when you are under the influence, you are not aware of your surroundings and mindless to reality.

I really do suggest to you that you quit now, before your body starts to rely on it. Oh, by the way it's illegal. You or your friend could go to jail.

~You're a glut ant for punishment! You are opening up yourself to all types of future addictions, from what I read here.
You need to stop now, go get some help.
Maybe you won't die, maybe you'll just get lucky and have no mind left.~

I don't know! Go ask a police officer, or a medical professional (the officer could lock you up until sense is knocked into you, and the doctor could tell you the answer to what you just asked. So go see the doctor first, then the police).

I just wish that some of these young people would print these things out & go back when they are older and read just how ignorant they sound.

Try getting a hobby or doing something constructive like volunteering some time to help others less fortunate rather than wasting your time doing drugs.

thats really stupid..i'm 16..and i say if u feel the need to self medicate [i do] then just stick with weed and some alcohol. i know stopping completely is unrealistic..but my friends boyfriend used to do ecstasy alot and now that he stopped he says he doesn't really enjoy anything anymore..and u will have to stop one day because u are going to grow up and have to function. please..anything other then weed, alcohol, shrooms...anything that isn't really hardcore and affects u really bad. other then that, if ur willing to die for ecstasy at 15..go ahead..but if u keep going on like that ur gonna have a rough road ahead..it doesn't make u cool none of the people in your school are going to matter when u grow up and go to college. do what is best for you..make the right decision.

hope i slapped you into reality a little because im speaking from experience cause i've been addicted to drugs before i'm not just being an anti-drug freak

You know, I never tried extacy until I was 21...But, I quit taking the stupis $hit because after a while your body builds one heck of a tolerance to it...Meaning, if your taking three hits now, in a week you'll be taking 15 hits just to feel happy for about 15 minutes. Also, If it does'nt kill you, it will leave you with holes in your spinal cord and even benign or bleeding brain tumors.

You are putting your liver, kidneys, heart and even your brain in jeopardy every time you pop E.
The thing that makes you feel happy with ecstasy is called serotonin, which is released by your brain normally in a day, but by taking E you are having all your serotonin released at once. If you keep it up, the serotonin levels will eventually be completely depleted and you will be extremely depressed.
I know E can be a super rockin time, but don't the next morning sketches ruin it for you?
Just be careful little one.. you are playing with fire. The dosage in E is never consistent, and you could overdose at any given time.... its a hard story to explain to your mom in a hospital room ....

Oh no....please leave that thing out of the way. Quickly own up and see a doc immediately. Life is precious. Love it. Take care

not very likely you will die... i've done it about a dozen times or so and i'm still alive. a friend of mine has done it several hundred times. just make sure someone you know has taken the same pill before so you don't get some bad e.

Did you know your brain will quit producing natural 'happy juice' if you use that drug, and the drug will slowly become inaffective at producing 'happy juice'? At the point you really will have no choice but to kill yourself, now will you?

Honestly, do some research and quit that **** unless you are willing to give up you're only chance at life for a little bit of fake happyness 'now'.

I'm probably older than most ppl here & a little more mature so I'll spare the name calling & say just DON'T take it. The "X" today is NOT the same as the X from the 80's per se. It's all synthetic crap. IDK how old you are & would never encourage a kid to drugs but at least pot doesn't run the risk of killing you. I really wouldn't want to put something that could easily kill me into my body. Food for thought. You don't have to be "cool" to take it. It can also have BAD side effects & yes I speak from experience. I was once young & foolish too. I managed to grow up...a little lol.

FYI:

Ecstasy affects the regulation of the body's internal systems. Continuous dancing without sufficient breaks or drinks can lead to dangerous overheating and dehydration. Drinking too much water without consuming a corresponding amount of salt can lead to hyponatremia or water intoxication.
Because of the manner in which ecstasy acts on neurotransmitters in the brain, its use may produce temporary depression as an after-effect for some users.[18].
The use of ecstasy can be very dangerous when combined with other drugs (particularly monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) and antiretroviral drugs, in particular Ritonavir). Combining MDMA with MAOIs can precipitate a hypertensive crisis and can result in a near-fatal repercussion.[citation needed]
A small percentage of users may be highly sensitive to MDMA; this may make first-time use especially hazardous. This includes, but is not limited to, people with congenital heart defects
