My experience with MDMA-like drugs at the time was fairly limited and all over the place. With about a dozen trips under my belt, some pills made me feel love, others energy, and even a couple of weak duds. On this experience I think we got some good shit. My friend (J) purchased 3 ecstasy tabs (supposedly double-stacked) in the shape of a blue car. I washed it down, as did J and my brother. We waited in J's garage for effects to begin. In the meantime taking riffs off the bong.

The come up is distressing. In-and-out of feeling like having to shit, not knowing whether to sit or stand, and palms and soles of feet are drenching. We all started coming up at roughly the same time. E comes in waves, but the official smack is jolting. Within 30 seconds my vision became a field of pixels. My heart is knocking and bruxism begins. We're gathered as a circle (kinda like that 70's show) and we all start going off about how much we feel like we're more than friends, but indeed soul brothers. No laughing is going on, that's something I notice, nothing is funny at all but you know the value of the entertainment, but I physically could not laugh. We continue to give mad props and hugs to each other for about the next 20 minutes until we decide enough bromance shit, let's listen to music.

Music is more fantastic. I can feel every note, especially deep bass which is heck enough reason to try this substance even once in one's life. I nod along in sync, and I can't help but feel like some types of music are just meant to be heard on this in particular chemical. Sometimes I can dance to it, like I said some E pills give me more energy and others more empathy. Both enhance my receptions of rhythm but I honestly feel perfectly fine on this dose to just move my head rapidly. Other trips I have danced which is highly unlike my character (probably a concoction of other amphetamines). Anywho, good music, good times, but we needa go outside.

What happens next is why I really submitted this report. Some of you will believe, others are skeptical, it's all good but this is what happened. We arrived at a vacant local park and stood side by side in the midst of the park road. We began meditation, which in this mind state is easier than not tapping into higher thought. We began to praise the ETs that watch over us, that love us, and we started chanting for them to show themselves not to prove to us their existence, but just to say hello. We chanted and chanted, I felt like rushes of blood washed my third eye, pulsation began. I started saying We love you, we believe in you, please show yourself. J and my brother said similar things, especially about loving the ETs. In this E trance it was easy to say that profound affectionate word, and it was easily as easy to be sincere about it too. The chemical had stripped us of our egos, our fear, any remnants of disbelief.

Fuck seeing is believing, when you believe you fucking see.

Amidst the channelling we all saw something. A flat black oval disc, about penny size held at arm's length, is seen at around the same altitude as the clouds. We did not jump for joy, we silenced, stared, and after a few seconds we all started pointing up yelling There it is! It stood still for about 5 seconds, then made a quick zig zag and finally ducked behind a nearby cloud. Immediately after it went behind a cloud a couple of pretty hot girls approached us asking for a cigarette. What an interruptive buzz kill, the trance was broken. I gave one of the girls a cigarette. I wished at the time I could have hit on her, but I was too in awe of what just happened and just quickly found an excuse to say bye to them. I could tell they wanted to engage in conversation with us but it was one of those awkward as hell moments and finally they left. My friend J then threw up, you can tell all the excitement of the last 2 minutes was over-stimulating.

We walked back to J's garage, although disappointed the encounter was brief, we were ecstatic. We smoked some more bowls. The come down was gradual and we spent the rest of the night talking about our trip, life, and our friendship. It was a special day thanks to that magical drug that can inhibit all the putrid negative bullshit thinking too common in day to day life. No use of the words no, never, or even the contractions of not. Just clarity, good vibes with the occasional intense sketch that is swept away with warmth and yes more good vibes. We have tripped together on few occasions afterwards (too few, life gets complicated) and never reproduced that spark. I still do MDMA from time to time, pure MDMA too, but not with my same crew (stupid ever busy life!). Who knows if one day we can together strike lightning twice. With MDMA it all seems more possible.
