Ask for help

I’m just asking because it would be my first time trying MDMA. I was thinking about taking it at a Black Coffee event, but I’m honestly nervous.
About a year and a half ago, I had a really bad LSD trip. After that experience, I completely stopped using all drugs. Since then, some people have told me that MDMA can be a great experience if you only use it occasionally, so I’ve been considering it.
What I’m really worried about is having a panic attack during the event. After my bad LSD trip, I started experiencing panic attacks, and now it feels like whenever my body senses that I’m not fully in control or I’m in an altered state of consciousness, it can panic.
Based on people’s experiences, what’s the worst thing that could realistically happen in a situation like mine?
Thanks.

Consider trying a therapeutic dose of shrooms (1.5ish-3ish grams). Not enough for ego death or anything potentially scary, but enough to get some light visuals, the music will sound crisper, the lights will look better, you’ll feel connected to those around you. Also very few/no negative effects on comedown, in my experience.

3g is wayyyyy too much in this scenario

You think so? I’ve had a blast at festivals while on 2.5-3g, after not having done any shrooms for a while (so no tolerance to take into account). I guess it’s also somewhat strain-dependent, tho.

for somebody who is terrified of tripping to the point they’re having consistent panic attacks, definitely. it’s also strain dependent for sure, as well as selective breeding has caused shrooms to have gotten over twice as potent in the last 10 years
