Lot’s of people, including myself, use MDMA from time to time. While it’s not exactly an injection of straight serotonin, in effect it accomplishes the same thing. It makes you incredibly happy, however the come-down from it can be pretty miserable as it can mean that you are serotonin deficient. There are several ways to counter this, like by taking 5HTP, but that isn’t a perfect solution and taking MDMA really is stealing happiness from tomorrow.
