i think i might try x for the first time this weekend and i've been asking my friends about it and they always tell me to "remember the rule with water" its never any more descriptive that that, just the "rule with the water"
can anybody explain this to me?
is it drink a lot?
or dont drink any?
or what?

thanks

its to keep yourself hydrated. hazey used to have a water rule. i think he said to drink a bottle every hour or something like that. that is a good rule.

okay thanks

any other tips for a first time x user?

Dont drink too much. And dont drink alchohol (beyond a drink or two.)

If you smoke keep some handy. keep gum handy. Be with your good friends. And DONT CHEW YOUR DAMN MOUTH.

just drink like 3 or 4 bottles throughout the roll.... and you will be fine...

have gum, i know of some people who have chewed their cheeks raw while rolling....

cigarettes if you smoke them

some good music

and someone your close to, family or friends its a bonding experience...

my first roll was with my sister.... one day she was just like "so i got some free rolls, were eating these tonight..."

took 1, waited about 45 minutes, didnt feel much and we each ate another... 15 minutes later we were both rolling hard... and realized "god the 2nd one hasn't even hit yet"... it was a fun night, walked around the neighborhood for about 5 hours talking with a sober friend of mine that lives nearby...

Yeah, well...

1. Your friends are morons.

2. MDMA has no effect on hydration.

3. Dancing full force for 16 hours without taking a drink does have an effect on hydration.

...seeing as people were pulling off #3 and dying, the drug saftey edumacation pplz started saying "umm, drink water when you dance for hours nonstop." Idiots decided to take this to "zomg if you eat teh extacy and don't drink a gallon every thirty minutes u will diez, even if you're chilling in a massage circle!"

Ironically, because of this, a few people have actually, literally died of water overdose.

If you're doing heavy physical activity, drink lots of water. If you're sitting on your ass, drink a little water as suits your comfort and your thirst.

That is true, but MDMA will raise the body temperature, along with pretty much most stimulants out there. And one of the best ways to regulate body temperature is either to keep yourself hydrated enough or to changed your enviroment. But unless you feel like sitting in a meat freezer for the duration of your trip, you really cant change the enviroment to that level of degree. Hydrating yourself is also a safe bet against hyperthermia and hyponatremia(rare, but anything is possible, considering the general shitty quality of xtc pills these days).

I like to think of it as sitting on a beach on a hot day: Sun is shining, your hot, you become thirsty. Now is it a necesity to drink water? No. Will it help cool you off and make you more confortable? Yes.

The whole you must drink water is overrated, but I still say its a safe bet. As he said, if your planning on raving or clubbing, its a good idea to get a good amount of water in you to keep your body in check. But if your sitting around with a couple of your buddies and your girls, commuting with nature or whatever the fuck your doing, the 'water rule' shouldnt really apply. Still it wont hurt to drink a couple bottles of H2O. Better safe then sorry...

I lol'd.

Drink water whenever you're thirsty/feel hot. Chew some gum, and have fun.

I think something else that is worth noting is, don't be around people you don't like, or aren't comfortable with. I once rolled with someone who really annoyed me, and it ruined the trip.

I've never had problems, but I know a lot of people who have-- if you get bruxia (tooth-grinding) take a calcium/magnesium supplement. It's best to do it prior to rolling (say a few minutes before you take the roll), but you may or may not need to. I never have, but it will help if you do get tooth grinding. My brother is currently suffering from damage caused by tooth grinding, and it isn't much fun. If you do get it, don't just sit around doing nothing (that's what he did), bite down on something hard, or do anything to minimize the damage. Chewing gum and supplements are your best bet, as stated above. Prevention is better than cure, IMO.

as did i.

water is fkkkng dank on E but you really don't need to go over board unless, as said, yr dancing hardc0r3

would that supplement help if taken before an acid trip? my last trip had me in pain from jaw clenching...

just dont be a fuckin retard and not drink water because your "scared" of over hydration. drink about a bottle an hour, two if your doing a lot of physical activity.

Not to be an ass (well, slightly to be an ass), but I've never understood... When people say 'drink a bottle every hour' how big is a 'bottle'? Like, is there a particular sized bottle you should use?

Seriously?

.5L / 1 hour

It isn't an exact science and you don't need to be a fucking brain surgeon to understand what he's saying.
