I agree.
Come on people, use some common sense when you roll. One of the motto's of Dancesafe is "Just say KNOW." Know your limits, know your drugs, know your body enough to make sure you are healthy before and after. Im not saying you should or should not roll, but know what you are doing! I am going to tell you a nice little story that happened to myself and the major change it had on my life due to drugs...
At the beginning of December 2006 I went out for my birthday with my boyfriend at the time. I'm 24 and have been partying since I was 15...I know my limits, I know what to do and not do, however that night I did something incredibly stupid. Ya know how everyone rolls and gets their guard down... well thats not good. Somehow during the night someone slipped me a toxic dose of LSA. I had taken pills that I had taken before too, but I did NOT intend to take LSA. And everyone I talked to said I never once mentioned taking it. There was one guy that gave me a pill for my birthday, seemed cool at first, but was getting REALLY close to me and weirding me out. I grabbed my best friend and acted like he was my boyfriend, my boyfriend walked up and I whispered to him to just let it be for a second, that some guy was creeping me out. Finally the guy walked away and we never saw him again. So this is where shit gets fucked up.
We go home, and I start acting weird. This is where I start to not remember things. I was talking crazy in my sleep, and would sit up in bed just saying off the wall stuff. Boyfriend got me to calm down, go to sleep, but I woke up in the morning with no recollection of the past few MONTHS. Seriously, no memory at all. I didn't remember my daughters birthday party... which happened the day before. I didn't remember the passwords for my computer. I walked outside and wondered why there was snow on the ground, I thought it was Summer. I didn't even remember the party. Boy takes me home, parents freak out. They tell us to get some sleep. Wake up, things are worse. Parents take me to the doctor, do a bunch of drug tests and other tests to see whats up. Basically I had to just wait it out and see if I recovered any memory. Everyday my parents had to test me by playing memory games, and I couldn't be left alone. Id make food on the stove and forget it was on there. The tests came back with MDMA and a toxic dose of LSA. They said the amount in my system was equivalant to picking up a bottle of LSD and taking a huge swig of it... and it destroyed my short term memory.
So a few weeks go by, and I wouldn't remember anything. Its like the movie 50 First Dates where Id wake up everyday and not remember the previous day. I then had a dream about my friend Taustin who passed away coming to my bedside and I opened my eyes and saw him hovering over me, watching me, and I had the feeling that everything was going to be okay. So I wake up crying, because my friend felt so real... it didnt seem like a dream, he was right there beside me. From that day on, I started recovering from the drugs. I slowly regained my memory, although there are still a few things I don't really remember. But my memory did come back. But it sucked... it was a long, hard process and my friends and family had to basically treat me like a child in order for me to understand what was going on around me.
Moral of the story... my life was seriously changed by this incident. Please know your limits. If you get too fucked up chances are you will let your guards down and it may hurt you in a way. Know what you are getting, only take it from people you highly trust, and you should test it. Taking pills from people you don't know can kill you. Taking too much can kill you or leave you in a state of mind that will make you put your guards down which can hurt yourself or others. Please be safe. PLEASE! You don't want anything to happen to your girl or yourself. To this day Im not sure how I got the LSA in me... we are thinking I might have taken a sip off his water bottle. Who knows.. it really doesn't matter anyways. All that matters is that im better. My story is a lot more extreme than yours but the moral of the story is the same, BE SAFE and PLEASE know what you are taking and know what your limits are.
