Big Day Out festival was due to arrive in Sydney soon and thankfully my friend, who we will call P convinced me to attend at the last moment since our favorite band the Red Hot Chili Peppers were headlining. Naturally, we decided that this would be a perfect opportunity to trial some MDMA caps that were sourced from the Netherlands. We decided only on one cap each that amounted to 125 mg since firstly, I haven't rolled in a good while and secondly, this was my friends second attempt at trying MDMA. The week prior to this event I ate very healthily and abstained from any alcohol that could only add to any latent anxiety, as a result of this I was feeling very calm and excited about the concert.

The security into the festival was extremely lax so there was no trouble at all getting the caps into the venue for use later on. Prior to entering the festival we both consumed a considerable amount of grapefruit juice as we heard that it has the potential to potentiate the effects of the drug. We soon met up with two friends of P's who were not informed of our intended substance of intoxication that night. We began our day at the festival seeing some incredible electro house at one of the venues, getting used to the level of sound and incredible bass that emanated from the speakers. At this point we were quite comfortable however there was a certain anxiety about later on as we both have a slight case of drug anxiety, however myself being more experienced in the use of MDMA having consumed it a moderate amount of times in the past few years managed to calm P and convince him that it'll be something to look forward to.

Fast forward to 5.00 pm at which point we decided would be a convenient time to take a break and have something light to eat, we both ate one burger so as to prevent any nausea from consuming MDMA on an empty stomach.

7.00 During our time watching The Killers we thought that this would be the perfect time to drop in the middle of the crowd as the Chili Peppers would be playing at 9.00 and we wanted to be definitely feeling good by that time. Upon swallowing the capsule with a swig of water I became slightly anxious however realizing that this was completely normal I decided to accept that we're going to have an amazing time. The anxiety was also considerably relieved by moving about, as we changed venues to see Pretty Lights and hopefully let the music and lights bring us up faster.

7.30 Approximately now we are outside as P wanted a break and we wanted to refill our water bottles, P requests to sit down and just chat through the come up anxiety which is simply part of the entire beautiful experience.

7.40 Suddenly everything changes and a lightness spreads through my heart and mind and my limbs instantly become weightless.
Suddenly everything changes and a lightness spreads through my heart and mind and my limbs instantly become weightless.
The breeze has changed so the cooling effects were amplified and very pleasant. At this point we became on the same level as P's anxiety had similarly melted away and we both became extremely talkative and happy, in exactly the way that I read about when I researched experience reports. This led to a completely blissful feeling that we were certainly feeling the purest MDMA that I've ever had. There was available energy but P and I decided to sit down for a while and just talk which was incredible. We gave each other massages and hugged a few times as these two activities were very nice and made us feel closer. Talking to strangers became incredibly fun and refreshing, and we became distracted to the fact that we were about to witness the Chili Peppers in this altered state. We continued to babble excitedly about how good it felt to be anxiety free and decided to make an effort to take something from this experience and impart it on our everyday life. During this part we started to feel the waves coming through and abating, gradually getting stronger. At this point I remember that I brought menthol cigarettes and as we smoked them they felt incredibly smooth and lovely. At this point I'm incredibly relieved and loving the feelings and love. I resolve to never be anxious again over things that don't matter. I always try to use MDMA in a therapeutic manner in this way.

8.00 We enter the electronic venue now that we are feeling extremely comfortable and in need for some music to lift us up, Crystal Castles were playing so that was perfect and everyone was enjoying themselves immensely. At this point we had no self consciousness about dancing and just allowed ourselves to dance however way we wanted.

8.30 We begin to head down to the Chili Peppers, feeling quite euphoric at this point as we are about to witness our favorite band of all time, playing in Australia for the first time in 10 years.

9.00 Despite not getting to the front, we managed to find a comfortable area with a suitable amount of space to dance and move around.

10.00 We've spent the whole time singing along, having the time of our life, occasionally hugging each other and chatting about the incredible amount of people sharing this experience with us and how we were all connected through a love for the Chili Peppers and their emotional importance for everyone there. During this time I remembered that I had the vicks inhaler and we both took turns surreptitiously inhaling and loving the soothing effects that enhanced our experience and brought us a little higher.

10.40 The Chili Peppers have finished and we still haven't found the rest of our friends but we knew that if that happened they could instantly tell we were intoxicated and could possibly bring the experience down.

10.55 At this point we find ourselves running to make it into Bloody Beetroots as otherwise they might lock out the venue if they reach capacity. Running was very fun and we were excited that we made it in and we proceeded to dance for about a half an hour, occasionally inhaling more vicks to bring us a little more higher as were beginning to feel a loss of energy however this could entirely be due to not having quite enough food to eat earlier. However, it was noticeable that as we were coming down, there were points were we would come back up again making the experience very lovely, calm and smooth.

11.30 We leave the venue finished for the night and exhausted, however still feeling quite happy and joyful about our experience and the bonding that we achieved. Afterwards we went for a walk, smoking menthol's and shooting the shit.

12.15 I said goodbye to P and we embraced as he took a different train to mine.

1.20 Having some time to kill, I popped into a nearby pub and had a cold beer, which happened to be the best tasting beer I've ever had in my life. It was perfect for that moment and soon afterwards I bordered my train with a cold powerade to drink on the way home. Fortunately, there were a few people on the train from the festival who were very entertaining on the trip home and I managed to have a mini nap.

3.20 I arrive home and hope to find some weed to make sleeping more pleasant. I realized I still had two Valiums I brought just in case P or myself would have a bad experience so I took one and soon afterwards felt very calm with no anxiety towards smoking weed. So I found a tiny amount left over from a long time ago and smoked enough to bring me up again and get me considerably stoned.

3.40 It should be noted I had another burger after the festival concluded to ensure that I was getting enough food. After arriving home, I ate a little more, a banana and an orange, took some vitamin C and some fish oil tablets as well as a ZMA capsule (magnesium and zinc and b6).

4.00 As I'm still quite intoxicated now from the marijuana and Valium I decided as always this would be the perfect time to watch porn and masturbate as it can be difficult however if achievable it will be an incredible sensation that spreads throughout my body.

5.00 After I watch a few music videos on you tube and browse Reddit for a while I finally feel tired enough to be able to sleep easily, and the covers feel very smooth and it's extremely comfortable.

11.30 Upon waking up, I grab some fruit to eat, some more vitamin C and fish oil and a bit of lasagne as well as 1L of water to help me feel refreshed. A shower was incredible and there was a definite afterglow present as I went to my Wushu class to practice as usual. Exercise is particularly brilliant for the next day as it can bring me up again from the dopamine release and makes the comedown more enjoyable.

2.00 After arriving home, I eat some more fruit, have a long cold shower to feel fresh and nice. Another Valium to help me through the day and I can smoke a small bowl of weed and I'm perfectly content. At that point I decided it would be a perfect idea to write my experience report as this was something that I would love to be able to document and remember properly.

So in conclusion, despite the moderate dose that we had at 125 mg, the experience was incredibly fun and would be completely worth it to save for special occasions or events once in a while. Next time it could be a possibility to try reloading with half the initial dose a little later once we've already come up as in this way the experience will last for longer.

All in all, an unforgettable night that was complemented by the nice change in weather we experienced and the great fun that me and P had. Even though I had an appreciation for electronic music before it's clear that this has increased my appreciation for it as well as the Chili Peppers. This was hands down the purest MDMA I've ever tried.
