HARM REDUCTION: After long-term use, I barely keep memories of a night on MDMA. What do you do/use to ENJOY AND REMEMBER the night before?
TLDR: What do you do/use that makes you ENJOY AND REMEMBER the night before?
I'm planning to attend, for the first time in my life, a couple of marathons (10-12 hr sets each) with 2 of my favourite DJs on separate dates (2 weeks apart) in the same month, but I've started to notice that after long, intermittent use of MDMA or Ecstasy over 4 years (not weekly but every 3 to 6 months), I can no longer recall most of the "fun" I had on MDMA the night before. I don't know to what degree it worsens the problem but when I do it, it's usually with 2-to-4 shots of whisky and a 2-to-4 microbumps of ❄️ with 1 of those micro-spoons that already come attached to the lid of a container glass vial.
It certainly feels great in the moment, but I can barely remember the feelings I experienced to the music or things that happened throughout the night. In addition to that, I've started to experience memory problems in general, which is affecting other areas of my life. I did my research, and apparently this is a common problem not many discuss, and any damage is "mostly reversible" with abstinence, but there are long-term consequences even after stopping.
The chart in this post was created using AI to process data on self-reported enjoyment vs memory loss for the most popular substances. I was shocked by where the analysis placed ❄️, considering it negatively affects memory and other bodily functions, but apparently it impacts memory less than MDMA. Whenever I've had high doses of each, I end up having the heaviest hangover with lots of headaches the next day. I'm highly sensitive to uppers in general. The chart didn't include other options like Caffeine, mushrooms, LSD, or even microdosing.
People on other forums have suggested Pre-Workout supplements like C4 that contain high doses of Caffeine and Taurine, and I've been thinking that when I've used those for the gym, I stay energized and clear-minded for at least 5 hours if not longer. What do you guys think? In any case, I'd like to reduce the harm during these 2 upcoming marathons to a minimum because those are expensive tickets I invested in, and I want to remember how amazing the music is going to be for me.
For those of you veterans who have experienced almost everything and have done long marathons, what have you done/used to ENJOY AND REMEMBER the night before? Many thanks in advance for all your help and contributions 🙏
