This part specifically, is what MDMA helped me with very much so after just a couple sessions with it. LSD and psilocybin played a major roll in this as well, but MDMA is what initially opened my eyes up to A LOT about my self, others, and how I interact....not just while under the influence of it, but lasting permanently. It's been the most therapeutic 3 to 5 hours of my life.


MDMA opened me up to understandings I very much doubt I would have ever reached on my own. It catapulted my social awareness years ahead of pace.

I used to use cannabis, but found it didn't help me as much as kava. Kava is much more calming while not fogging my head in the least. The other drug that helps me is politically incorrect, but it works: nicotine, though not cigarettes; it helps greatly with my ADHD and executive problems. Nicotine is almost unique in that it makes its users more sober while also exerting a calming influence, and kava is pure calming influence. As far as alcohol goes, for me, the less said the better.

Weed makes me completely not want to be in social situations I've never felt so anxious in my entire life. i feel like i can't speak and that everything i say is embarrassing oh i think that people are conspiring against me/ going to do something to me.
I also don't like leaving rooms with other people in them when i leave i can hear them whispering about me (paranoia) they're not but I've heard them say bad things about me which is kind of scary, and it makes everything seem so slow time goes by so slow getting to a place stoned is an absolute nightmare it feels like it has taken years to get there. It also makes me extremely agitated and any little noise makes me jump.
i no longer smoke it.


Damn, i have exactly these same effects! Sometimes i cant speak at all and when I do its always seems embarassing but ive leanerd to control it a bit, since im not quitting smoking anytime soon. I just like the relaxing effect too much and since i consider living tense it makes me go out of it a bit.
