Stimulant amphetamines are more beautiful and terrible than the mind can comprehend. They are the Answer, they are Zen, and they are trash and filth and good-for-nothing, too. On them, there is no spoon. But the body begins to fail so quickly, so pleasantly. I love them even when I hate them.
you would too, if you woke up one afternoon and your urine was a distinct burnt sienna shade, while your migraine was making electrified blue snakes crawl around the edges of your vision, and you wanted to kill or fuck someone because it was the same difference.

MDMA's prized effects are as elusive as the yeti, and as mysterious. I find more and more that I have never known anything about it. Because it can be pleasant and sometimes seems stimulant, it gives the impression of being more clear-cut, more dependable, than the average psychedelic like LSD. it gives the impression of being an enhanced amphetamine. but after a while it becomes clear that it has a mind of its own and even your best-laid calculations of effects and qualities on a particular day will have nothing to do with the outcome. it wants what it wants. so it goes.
