montebrogan Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 Why aren't pills as popular as they used to be?Everyone remembers the "X boom" of '96 - 2000 (approximately). What happened to all the pills? They are still around, but nothing like they used to be. Is it lack of demand? News of side effects that might happen down the line? Tougher new laws?Curious to hear what the board members think... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyuss Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 Its gotta be the propaganda, you know, those advertisements where they say: "So and So died and all that was in her system was ecstacy." People hear that and they believe that if you take ecstasy you will die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

str8upcore Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 depleted seratonin level's and long term depression have caused user's especially who have been in the scene for year's to stop using although for those who still use the effect's aren't even close to the same and don't last for half of the time they used too............. not to mention it's not like the old day's when you cold get away with partying in a club, with the DEA's involvement with nightlife especially in Miami you won't ever catch my ass with any drug's on me in a club ever again.....nothing fuck's up your roll like having 20 fucking undercover narc's or DEA agent's coming up to you every 5 minute's and asking you for drug's and then watching your ass like a hawk for the rest of the evening:mad: I'm glad I'm retired.......................................

mursa Posted January 30 Report Share Posted January 30 ... What I believed happen is that the "novelty" of E has subsided and has plateued off . E only became very popular from 1996 on up . Also the addition of other drugs into mainstream clubbing such as K, tina ,G has gained popularity with many E users . Pills are still prevalent where i go out at times .

xkingchangox Posted January 30 Report Share Posted January 30 I would attribute it to several factors. First one being the quality of pills that flooded the market in the later years was mediocre at best causing a majority of the derogatory side effects.Secondly, as previously mentioned media propaganda. Last but not least the pill poping kids of the mid to late 90's have matured. Many have truly, grown up and others who haven't have become more sophisticated drug users. Sophisticated in the sense that their taste have evolved, along with their incomes in many cases; this has caused the increase in cocaine and Tina use that we now see. Long are the days of the big clubs and all night raves. The "X- BOOM " generation have become the modern day champagne drinking, cocaine sniffing lounge lizards.In many circles, specifically here in NYC, Ecstasy, Ketamine and GHB are now deemed to be a more blue collar drug, hence making them lose their glamorous luster that they once had.Hope that helps.

klohe Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 There hasn't been a significant decrease in the availability of pills, but there has been a DRASTIC difference of chemical components found in them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFsuperstar Posted February 3 Report Share Posted February 3 Originally posted by babbo more pills being consumed now- more than ever- you statement is........off i disagree. i def think that way less peeps are taking rolls. a lot of peeps i know have stopped taking them. either cause they have taken a large amount over the last few years and realize they don't want to totally fry their brain or they have moved on to crystal.

mursa Posted February 4 Report Share Posted February 4 ..when one abuses pills its quite natural for them to think that PILLS ARENT AS GOOD AS BEFORE ( tolerance ) , and many move on to other things , which probably is a wise thing to do at that point .

mursa Posted February 4 Report Share Posted February 4 Originally posted by SFsuperstar true, i def think i have built up a tolerance over the years Just take a nice prolonged break ( a few months - 1 yr ) and you should be fine . And If you every start taking again , try never to exceed 2-3(max)pills per night out . Pills should be simply a "catalist" and not the primary source into having a good time .
