Dear RaveSafe and RaveSafe Viewers,
I am a 17 year old senior in high school. I've smoked my fair share of weed. I just recently, as of late August '99, started taking ecstacy. I figured when I first took it, it would be a once in a while thing. I heard it was addictive, and many people warned me to make sure to do it once a MONTH ........... MAX. They said I didn't know what I was getting into. I agreed with them, because I was unfamiliar with it, but figured I'd just be careful. I figured I was smart enough to be careful, and not get all messed up. Right? Wrong.
I've done ecstacy now every weekend but one since then. I've been taking increasingly larger doses, lying to my parents, losing interest in school, and all the other bullshit that other people tell you will happen when you start using drugs. Now I can't imagine not rolling this weekend. How can I
have fun with out it? Well, as great as it is........ I got bad pills on Saturday. I never felt the good high that you feel when you roll. I felt like I was trippin out on some other f-ed up drug. This was a good thing to happen to me. This made me realize how out of control I got so quickly. My friends and I are going to quit using E for a while. It may not be physically addictive, but it is mentally. You always
want E. Always. You feel so good. I wish I were rolling right now. But my friends and I are going to give this up for a while. We have to. I'll still go to raves, I'll just go sober.E is a money pit, and I've watched a lot of my close friend move from E to Meth to Coke. If you're going to use drugs, know what you're getting into.
Don't just think you do. PLUR
