Took 1/10th of a dose during a party (where everybody was doing it).

I did not feel high but was very unanxious (absolutely no adrenalin rush when 2 guys started a fight near me).

Now the problem is that I started to grind my teeth for one year on after that night.

So basically I did not get high but managed to fuck my teeth pretty badly (now 5 years later I'm considering orthodontia since my lower jaw bone has moved left with respect to the upper part of my mouth).

So yeah. MDMA. What a fun substance.

It doesn't give you much of a rush anyway.

> Now the problem is that I started to grind my teeth for one year on after that night.

1/10th dose and a year later you get grindy-jaw, and you're linking those???

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruxism> "Bruxism is a common behavior; reports of prevalence range from 8% to 31% in the general population"

Even I have it and it started 20 years before I took my first E - but I guess evil MDMA can reach back through time just as easily as it reaches forward.

Hint 1: 99.9999% sure they're unrelated. Hint 2: see your dentist who will tell you the same. Hint 3: it may be stress <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruxism#Psychosocial_factors>

Hold my bag of Es while I reach for Vice:

> Sometimes, bruxism triggered by MDMA can become chronic, Chandwani adds. He had one patient who grinded her teeth for two years after using MDMA just once.

Edit: to clarify I got awake bruxism while on the influence of the substance (this is normal) and nocturnal bruxism for one year after that. I wasn't able to chew in the morning because of the toothache.

Edit2: Oh and did i mention one of the girl in the group used to be a heavy MDMA user and wear a dental guard at night ?

Shit, I misread you! - "started to grind my teeth for one year on after that night." - for one year after, not after one year.

OK, my stupid. I accept what you say. I genuinely regret it didn't give you the magic I got.
