If you abuse it, if you've ever done it, like a lot of it, maybe I have, maybe I haven't, the next day you can feel like shit.

Yeah, you get that post-roll Monday blues, like your little neurochemical dip.

Because, well, MDMA causes a big release of serotonin, which I'm sure you guys all know.

It's a neurotransmitter linked to mood.

Good vibes, connection, and just overall upbeat awesomeness.

But yeah, if you do a lot, you abuse it.

The next day, your brain hasn't had a chance to fully replenish, so things can feel like a little blue, kind of like I usually do in January, a little muted, like a little low.

You're like, what happened to my spark, my empathy?

All this is just to say, you guys,

Be careful here if you're going to partake.

Yeah, man.

I don't know if you guys want to get too deep on how it actually affects the brain.

We could do a little 101 real quick.

You could fast forward this part, but yeah, like we talked about it, it floods the brain with neurotransmitters, especially serotonin.

We're all familiar with serotonin.

I'm full of it right now.

Just because more I'm high on life, I think.

But yeah, the microdose, it didn't hurt, okay?

I feel warm and cozy and fuzzy, but it's just nice.

It feels nice.
