I went to a festival that was 18+ and I’m 24 years old. When I got carded at the door, three different people checked my ID and then a cop came over and checked my ID and pulled me to the side and told me to fess up or I would go to jail. I held my ground, knowing my ID was real, and said that he can do whatever he wants to verify my ID/age. He called some number on his phone and verified my ID was in fact accurate and apologized for the confusion. I asked what was wrong with the ID and all he really said was that, “the lettering was off”.
My question is, how did my ID become fake all of a sudden? I’ve used the same ID to get into bars and previous 18+ events and never had a problem. I’ve even been pulled over twice before where police never questioned my ID. Do IDs wear out over time? I’m going to get a new ID here so I guess it doesn’t matter but, I’m just curious as to what happened.
EDIT: Just want to say how happy I am that everyone knows this is for Gold Rush. Love the community.
Are you... Not white? Do you look like a druggie? Those are my thoughts on the matter. He was trying to profile you.
I’m half White and half Asian. I wouldn’t think I look like a druggie. I didn’t even sneak any illegal drugs in - just some caffeine pills that would’ve gotten taken away if left in my bag; they were just to help me stay awake/energized since I was already dead tired.
I agree they were just trying to get an idea of my profile. I don’t think they would’ve given my ID back if it was actually fake or had something “off” about it.
Dude I was in line next to when that was going down! I’m glad they let you in
Hahahaha whaaaaaaat? Small world.

You're wrong. Hilary didn't act like that during her hearings. She was the defendant.
I don’t follow politics (until just recently) so, I apologize for not knowing what you’re referring to. Can you provide an example?
As far as I can tell, I don’t see anywhere Clinton was made out as a sympathetic witness. Admittedly, I can’t find direct footage of a hearing with her either.
Just to be clear, I’m saying that the Plaintiff is made to be sympathetic and the Defendant is made to be firm and educated. I feel Hillary exhibited the latter appropriately.

We need specifics here.
How much did you take (in mg)? Age, weight, height, sex? Did you test what you took beforehand? Are you on any prescriptions?
Odds are, you and your friends probably took MDA or something very similar. MDMA has the euphoria and “rolling” feeling.
Is it just me or is there a little reddish orb in some of them? What is that?
I think it’s just the light reflecting off the table or something. I thought there was blood in them at first haha.
About two years ago, after college, I accepted a job as an injury adjuster with a large insurance company. I majored in mathematics and originally planned on going the actuarial route but, never actually signed up to take an exam in college. The idea was to get my foot in the door in either underwriting or claims to learn the ins and outs of insurance and study for exams while working and see if I could apply internally. Now we’re here.
Claims, in itself, isn’t a bad job I feel. Though, I don’t see it being a long term career for me. The hours are too hectic for me to even hope to study for actuarial exams with 50-60 hour weeks. The weekends I just end up crashing and trying to catch up on sleep or fixing stuff up around the house. My manager is actually very supportive of my ambitions to study for actuarial exams but, can’t do much to lighten my work load to allow more time to study.
That being said, I’m looking to make a career change into something more analytic; but honestly any kind of job would be refreshing at this point. Actuarial will still be in the back of my head but, I’m willing to change the career path entirely.
Are there any careers that come to mind for you guys for someone like me? I’ve read up on business analyst careers but, it just seems like every time I apply I just end up wasting my time and can’t get an interview. I’d also like to steer away from anything that’s phone heavy with customers.
Thanks!
You’ll need more MDMA the following days, and your comedown will SUCK. There are other drugs to try. I personally prefer LSD to molly but, there are other options.
I’ve had friends put it in water like a week before a festival and they said it still worked. Dunno about juice though.
This’ll be my first Gold Rush! Super excited!
Financial advice can be hard to give, especially to your friends. You say something that’s actually useful and, if they take the advice, you’re kind of directly involving yourself in their general well-being and lifestyle. If things go sour, it can ruin any relationship you have with them.
That said, there’s not much else you can give advice on while staying in fault-free territory. It’s up to them to become financially responsible and to work out what’s best for them.
I’m from AZ and I’ll be going too this year! It does get really cold outside, like between 30-40 degrees, but if you just bury yourself in the crowd you’ll warm up. So, you don’t have to wear much. I bring a blanket/pair of sweats just in case though, because if you need a break it’ll be freezing outside.
I rolled last week and had gum and still wrecked my cheeks, next time I’m just not gonna use gum and see how it goes
I had the best results with this. I’ve tried everything from gum to candy to binkies and they all fucked my lips/cheeks somehow. When I just roll with nothing in my mouth, it’s fine.
I heard the coke will counteract the MDMA and kill the roll. So, probs no.
You’re overthinking it. Just test your stuff before you take it and take like 100-150mg with another 50-75mg after an hour and everything will just work itself out.
Nani?!?
It was after school either in kindergarten or first grade. I went to a Catholic school growing up and really didn’t have a group of friends, or really any friends, there. I saw that someone had a cool Gundam model that was probably about a foot tall that he probably spent a lot of time putting together. The kid that owned it walked away for a minute and I just wanted to pick it up and look at it for a second because, well, I thought it was cool. As soon as I pick it up, it snaps in half at the torso and in a panic I just put it down where I found it and walked away hoping no one saw what just happened.
In hind sight, it was probably super easy to put back together if it came apart as easy as it did but, I’m sure the kid was distraught when he came back to his broken toy. Maybe thought someone had some sort of vendetta against him.
Where's the science to back this up? What makes you qualified to say that using any more frequently than 3 months causes brain damage?
While there’s no hard “science” on the optimal time to take breaks between MDMA, there are certainly educated guesses based on science already proven. I’m on mobile so, I’m not going to cite anything but, Google will justify my claims.
MDMA’s mechanism works through the release of serotonin, as it basically flushes most of the serotonin stored in your brain. It takes, on average, one month for serotonin to build up to roughly baseline levels after some form of release occurs with this neurotransmitter (i.e. MDMA). On top of that, your serotonin receptors will have a lessened sensitivity to serotonin after rolling and will require time to diffuse the tolerance you just built up. This is thought to take anywhere from 3 to 5 weeks (see rollsafe.org). So, while the 3 month use rule is fairly arbitrary, it has some merit in the sense that you will want to wait a minimum of 5 weeks between rolls. However, since everyone is different and, not all but, most of your serotonin is restored in 4 weeks, people like to add a buffer to that time in order to play it safe. Hence, somehow we got to 3 months, but I personally think 2 months is reasonable.
The 3 month rule was introduced by Ann Shulgin I believe
You’re right, my mistake. I’m not entirely convinced that 3 months has any scientific merit, though. At least from what I researched.
60mg is pretty small to start with. The redose you took really only prolongs the roll from the first dose, it shouldn’t add anything.
Reminds me of my dad when he was going through small cell lung cancer. After a while, he couldn’t take the treatment and had to be put in a nursing home for what we thought would be the rest of his life. Our dog would just lay in Dad’s bed all day without doing much. We ended up bringing Dad home for his last days because he expressed how upset he was that he wasn’t in his own home. I’d never seen a dog and a man so happy to see each other and knew it was the right choice for Dad’s peace of mind before passing.
Why make up stories? For points?
That’s pretty bold to say and I can’t help but take some offense. But, to your point, why would I make it up? I can’t make you believe my story but, the lack of a reason to make up that story should suffice as enough to at least make it believable.

Like the title says, I think I got a really mild form of tinnitus from a festival recently. I really feel like it happened when G-Jones just yelled in the mic and I felt a sudden pain in my ear. Either way, if it lasts forever then I’ll accept it but, has anyone had the ringing in their ears go away after a while? It’s been a little over a week since the festival and it’s super mild.
Could be a possibility but to prevent further damage, Id recommend investing in some earplugs!
Funny thing is, I had them with me but took them out for a relatively quiet/trancey set and then full blast had the dj yell in the mic. Really frustrated me afterwards and just sat out for the rest of that set.
I would THINK so. Has it steadily been less and less or consistently the same?
It’s progressively gotten better but, kinda plateaued after this past Sunday/Monday.
It was unbearable the night after the festival when I tried to sleep but, got better.
cool thank you!
Definitely don't think I had much of a tolerance built because if I took even a day off the adderall a normal dose next day would get me really wired. Still rolled hard this weekend for sure, but curious in what ways it would effect the roll if you did have an adderall tolerance going in? Like overall weakened or just specific aspects/effects?
What daily dose are you on for adderall?
I find that lower doses, around 10mg, won’t affect your roll. I have no experience with higher doses around 40-60mg but always hear how it’s not good to mix them and you should take a few days off for the MDMA comedown.
That’s 680mg. 1 gram = 1000 milligrams so, 0.68*1000mg = 680 mg. You can tell it’s grams with the little g in the bottom left of the display.
Yeah I thought it would come with a MG unit but it didn’t so that’s why I was a bit confused.
I weighed my crystal and it came up as 1.22 So 1.22*1000mg= 1220
Would that be 1 gram and 220 mg??
Sorry I’m just really fucking bad at math
You got it. That’s all it is.
