A friend's analogy of MDMA..
Original post in this thread

So a few friends and I were smoking the other night when one of them came up with the PERFECT description for the effects of MDMA. She claimed that it gives you the personality of a dog. "Think about it, everything is exciting and captures your full attention, you're ridiculously friendly to the point of cuddling everyone, even those you have only just met, and you're incredibly energetic." I don't know if you guys have ever thought about this before, but I think that this is pretty damn accurate.
EDIT: OK, it seems this idea was much more "perfect" when we were high. I still think it was a very good analogy and I appreciate hearing views from others!

MDMA makes retards more retarded. I never have any issues with hugging people or being stupid and rolling around in a cuddle puddle... I laugh a lot, and am more likely to let things slide and see other people's perspectives, but it's still me running the show. I was hanging out a club one night for a friend's birthday. Somehow the subject of drugs came up and one of my friends said, "I'd try E sometime, but I don't want to get all weird and rub on people." Then I said, "Uhh, that's stupid! You're not an idiot now, so you wouldn't be on E. In fact I am literally rolling on MDMA right now!" He was dumbfounded that I had been rolling the entire night, but was still having productive conversations with him. Yes, occasionally an awesome song would come on and my attention would immediately get ripped away, but it was still me. I've rolled multiple times with people where they had no idea I was even on drugs. So no, I do not become a dog while on MDMA. I also don't become an incoherent asshole on alcohol, nor do I become a worthless couch potato on weed. If drugs give you an excuse to let yourself be stupid, then by all means go right ahead. But it's not the drugs doing it, it's you.
