    Anyway, molly was fun but the comedown was crap, and I felt if I were to take it again in the near future I might develop some sort of addiction. It was a scary thought that I took as a fair warning to stay away. It was at a rave, coupled with my first-ever pot brownie. I felt that I was the most confident radiant exploding ball of energy in the room, confident especially with girls, but the whole time I knew it wasn't the real me and it was temporary, and it just wasn't worth it.

I just heard Amy Pohler talking about taking ecstasy (which I gather is a form of molly or the other way around). She also talks about the comedown. Do you feel like the experience of molly helped you understand what it feels like to be confident better?

Also, you are still in high school right? I am of the opinion that people should just wait until they are out of college to do this stuff. It just seems reasonable I guess?

Ha. I think college is the best time to do those things. Drugs are everywhere and cheap. Consequences are lower than in real life where you can lose a job or not be offered one due to a failed piss test. It's more of the norm of the culture there as opposed to after college where it's frowned upon.

I mean, if you want to be serious about academics, then only do drugs over summer vacation and at music festivals or whatnot. But I'll tell ya, ain't nobody can find drugs like somebody in college (who's not on a dry campus).

Actually I agree with this.

Yes you're absolutely right. That's also easier to say when you're not in high school. Oh well.

edit: oops! I thought you meant in college. I think college is the best time, and that people should ideally wait after high school at the least.

    Do you feel like the experience of molly helped you understand what it feels like to be confident better?

I think it helped me experience what is possible at extreme levels of confidence. but it didn't make me more confident by any means in the long run. I didn't feel like I was in control during my experience, in the same way that I feel when drunk. I'm just kinda spinning around while enjoying the ride, but not in the front seat experiencing things and learning. More of a "BLAM HERE'S A THING! ok hope you enjoyed that now here's sinking depression for 6 hours...."
