The first time I experienced ecstasy was around 1995 while visiting some friends in San Francisco.
It was mid day and I was out with my friend Xavier watching some people parasailing near Thornton Beach. It was a mostly unplanned event and I had eaten not too long before dropping. That combined with having done only a half hit left me with nothing more than sheer disappointment. I thought it to be rather a waste overall and had not had another encounter for 8 years.
On my second try, and after relocating to the city, some friends had invited me to join them one evening for a visit to Club Universe. I love to dance and always felt that I was a pretty free-spirited dancer when I hit the floor. We’d talked previously of my prior experience with “E” and the disappointment I’d experienced and they suggested that to get the best effect I should make sure to have an empty stomach so that day, I only ate a salad in the early afternoon so as to be sure that I would be properly primed and ready.
Around 9 pm or so we met up and went to the club where they split up the tabs outside for us. I again only took about a half tablet and we went inside to look for some other friends who were to join us. While waiting for the others my friend Charlie asked me if I had felt anything yet and I said no. We’d still not hit the dance floor and I was becoming rather bored so I asked if they would mind if we could dance. There was definitely some excellent music but another ten minutes I was asked again if I felt anything and I said no but that I needed to take a leak and said that I was going to the bathroom and would be back.
As I walked off the floor I noticed that I was walking as if stepping on balloons.

We grabbed drinks and sat down in the lounge area and proceeded to become the most intimate I’d ever been without being sexual. The funny thing was I didn’t want to be sexual at that point, I just wanted to touch and talk and love all of my friends in the most uninhibited way.

I had a few more experiences with ecstasy after that time and mostly they were similar in effect. Mostly I believe it was because I chose to keep this as a “special occasion” kind of drug. Eventually I moved away from San Francisco and it’s been years since I last did ecstasy but I would have to say if the opportunity ever presented itself again, and I knew that the shit was good, I’d do it again without hesitation. It was the most joyous thing that I’ve ever experienced.
