Last time I took 140mg of pure mdma it all was a bit too heavy for me...don't get me wrong, it felt amazing but I don't do MDMA to get fucked up, I'm more interested in the therapeutic benefits.
So I'm curious about my next dose....I have a 145mg pill (the blue ghost) from a different vendor. If I take half of it to start and then half later...is that a waste of mdma or does that sound like a good way for me to ease into it? Or shall I take 3/4ths of the pill then re-up later with the remaining 1/4th? I'm inclined to start small and work my way up but am confused when I read things like this: from a reputable mdma vendor in the forums "All we can say is to drop a whole one from the start next time. MDMA is funny wherein you need to pass a certain threshold in order for it's true effects to manifest."
Best,
Woolly

hey woolly, got your pm and thought I would reply here. Half the ghost will give you a nice buzz, with the empathy associated with mdma. I did the last half of my two pills over the weekend too and although I didn't get much of a rush, I like the gentle x buzz sometimes.
When I used to be heavy into the rave scene I used to do halfs a lot to start my night and take the other half, or a full pill a few hours later.
A half ghost will also be a good dose if you smoke weed, but weed enhances the effect.
If you do want to redose on e, always wait a couple hours before you do. Different pills can have different onsets. I've had a lot of friends take a second pill thinking they were bunk, then get floored.
Stay safe and have fun!

If you don't or haven't used MDMA much, then taking half of a 145mg pill would still produce a pleasurable effect but it probably wouldn't be quite the full therapeutic effect of taking at least 100mg. I have a friend who took 140mg once at home and had a good experience but nothing that blew the hinges off. The same friend took 140mg of the same batch at a festival and had to sit down because of how intense it became (he said it was almost a bit too much). Keep in mind that setting matters, the energy around you like at a fesitval can greatly enhance the feeling.
Also keep in mind that MDMA dosing is not linear. 140mg may have been too intense because it was just a few mg more than your sweet spot. Just 10mg less at 130mg could be you perfect dose, you really just have to try a few different dosages to find out, but starting lower is typically a better way of doing this. Finding the sweet spot is difficult, but I consider it to be the dosage where the euphoria is maximized while the impairment is minmized. For most people who are new to mdma this is between 100-120mg.
My suggestion would be to take 3/4th of the 145mg pill, then about 1.5 hours later take the other 1/4. That means you'd have approx. 110mg to start, then 35mg as a booster at the 1.5 hour mark.

I find the small boosters don't really do anything except extend the duration. In fact, I'd rather take some 2CB at T-3:00 rather than redose.
It's a pity you don't have powder, because then you could taylor your dose. Pills are rubbish for that, as you've just found out.
Next time, get a gram of powder/rocks, so then you can find the dose that's best for you.
And yeah, like Entre said, set and setting is everything.

I'd recomend doing half then when ur hands get sweaty and ur pupils dialate do the rest. I normally take 120 mg to start then 80 when I start to feel it. Seems like the best wat I've found

Thank you all for the great knowledge!
Another factor I forgot to mention...my 140mg experience was coupled with lots of grapefruit juice...maybe that made it stronger than usual because of its enzyme blocking action?
I'll either start with half or 3/4ths of the blue ghost...touch call. It's too bad the ghosts are listed with a range of 140-150mg...guess it's hard to be super accurate with a pill. I'll report back in 2 weeks once it's down the hatch!
