for me extacy was a gate way drug. i had tried alcohol before pot, put i loved pot for a long time before trying x. it was e that made me rally interested in drugs, as it was a completely different expirience, and so i went on to try mushrooms (which before i though as a 'nasty' hallucinogen) turns out i fucking love tripping, so i use them from time to time. if i had not tried it i might have never gone to Erowid.com!
