Anyone have any reports of breaking out with pimples after taking ecstasy? Does anyone know if there is a link with E and Acne?
It's very possible. Amphetamine itself increases oils on the skin, which can clog pores, and thus create breakouts. 'Ecstasy' is Methylenedioxymethamphetamine. I'd assume it may have the same effects on the skin. Especially if you sweat on it. Amphetamine gives me cold sweats sometimes.
I'm fairly sure that MDMA has no effect on your skin. I've used it heavily and haven't suffered any acne or pimples.
I'm over 40 and I get facial acne simply from lack of sleep, which includes periods of time when I'm up all night on E. I try to get a lot of rest the night before, plus on the afternoon of my planned all-nighter and it helps considerably.
I'll be over 40 in a few more years. And I'm sure Ill still roll on rare occasion. Like once a year at a festival..or the next time a few hotties wanna roll. That type of thing. Sounds crazy to you, I know. But as you get older you get over it. The whole doing drugs after 40...smoking cigs after 30...smoking weed till you die... When you get to the age, all of your old ideas about how you would be at that age (in regards to partying, etc), are out the window. You can't know what you'll feel like doing at 40, until your 40.
YES, Like this kid said it's METH not MDA,MDMA ,MDEA but METH AMPHET?..I seen it i seen it i did it it's ture?
Trust me, it's all down hill after 40. hehe, but I'm actually partying way more at my age now than when I was in my 20s. Maybe it's a mid life crisis or 7 year itch or something... Heck, back when I was your age we had to walk 15 miles, in the snow, to get to a rave. And our E was actually just an aspirin with the letter E written on it with a felt tip pen - we had to imagine rolling. Those damn kids these days have it too easy! Now get off my lawn!!!
Well it is generally accepted that sweating causes acne not directly, but through the excretion of salts through sweat can aggravate existing acne or skin that is very prone to breakouts. That's why sweating is mainly linked to breakouts, not acne as a whole. Also bacteria thrives in sweaty conditions, and if the bacteria is not cleansed after all the sweat, the bacteria can get into your pores causing more acne. Acne specialists recommend when participating in sweaty activities (And most MDMA activities usually involve this) to wear your hair back so it's not sticking to your face, and very loose fitting clothing. You don't want to "trap" the sweat/bacteria to certain areas. Also it's suggested to drink water over gatorade/other energy drinks during these activities because of the excess salt that's going to get excreted in your sweat. Butttt, MDMA has no "direct" link to acne.
