Two Saturdays ago 4 of us, two couples decided we would do the MDMA thing again, as regular E & A users we had not ventured down this road for a while as the last time we took what we thought was MDMA turned out to be MDEA and cabbaged us, although nicely, the whole night.

Any way off we go to a known Gauteng club on a Saturday night , having pre bought what we thought was MDMA, from a relatively good source, I had preplanned this so I had split the two capsules into four as I was not sure of the strength or the quality of the alleged MDMA.

We get inside at about 12pm and decide to drop a half a cap each (nice planning huh) , and at about 12:30 I'm on the stage jammin away and I started to feel the come on of the drug , I started to slow down and couldn't quite get any of my faster dance techniques to happen, which made
me take caution straight away. I left the dance floor and went to find my better half and our friends, by this time my mood has swung quite considerably, can you believe to the aggressive side (I am not a steroid baby and am never prone to aggression, so this was very noticeable to all around us.)

I found them, my friend immediately asked me how I was feeling to gauge what he had already deducted what the problem was and I told him, dry mouth, failure (no matter how hard you dance) to sweat, drowsiness, irritation.

And no big ass grin and general touchiness that the MDMA was supposed to have given any of us , yup you guessed it, once again we had been sold KETAMINE.

I have taken Ketamine once before at the TRADE rave in Gauteng 1998 disguised as a clown Ecstasy tablet, and am aware of its hazards and would never go near it after that, but here we were, stuck at a club fucked.

Well what to do ?....we did what I think looking back in retrospect was the wisest possible thing to do in the circumstances, found the chill room, and sat back, talking to each other and holding one another until the unpleasant feeling subsided at about 4 am, I tried to dance in the chill room and finally broke a sweat, and I ran to my friends and told them loudly "look I'm sweating" and got some strange ass looks from the other people, but this was a good sign, it mean my body was starting to function normally again and the KETAMINE was subsiding.

Well we all recovered but the moral of this story is, if you are going to use drugs that you are not sure of, only take it in very small quantities, rave with your close friends and tell them what if anything that you are using so they can look after you and vice versa. Myself, well I won't be using capsules again, I'll stick with what I know and do it safely.
