Most users of MDMA who have taken the drug many times report that after a
certain number of sessions, varying by person from a few to a few dozen, the
desirable effects of the drug are no longer as pronounced. Said one, "it loses
its magic." Another person who used MDMA perhaps a dozen times (separated by
weeks to months) noted the dropoff, waited three years (!), tried an ordinary
dose of high-quality MDMA again, and found that the annoyance of the physical
side effects outweighed the greatly diminished positive effects. He has sadly
given up the drug. Others who have had fifty or more MDMA sessions still find
them to be worthwhile on balance.
This MDMA effect dropoff might be explained by a psychological mechanism:
loss of novelty (though people who have MDMA dropoff generally report that
there is not a similar dropoff in the effects of other psychedelics with which
they are equally or more experienced, e.g. LSD and DMT). Or it might be caused
by lasting neurological "changes" to the brain from repeated sessions, the
prior state of the changed structures being necessary for ecstatic MDMA
experiences. It is a complex, as-yet-unanswered question whether such changes,
if they happen, are best regarded as harmful, neutral, or beneficial.
If there is a lesson here, perhaps it is to spend your first six, twelve,
or fifty sessions wisely and cherish them. Later sessions may never be as
great.
