My vision is really blurry, man. The leaves are getting greener.
You're my best friend, really.
Hi, I'm Nellie. -And I'm Bastiaan.
And welcome to our Drugslab.
Twice a month we test drugs to see how it affects our body.
If you're curious about a certain drug or a setting...
let us know in the comments and we might try it for you.
You couldn't choose a location yet, but a lot of people, including:
Emmy, Amber and Ella... -Wanted to see Bastiaan try MDA.
We're going to the woods. -Sounds great.
I'm looking forward to it. -Before we go we need to prepare it.
Because it can be windy in the woods and it's illegal to carry drugs on you.
It's safer to determine the dose now too.
This is our MDA. They're light coloured crystals.
And it smells of... nothing actually.
The dose is very important. With MDA the dose is:
1-1.5 mg of MDA per kilogramme of body weight.
How heavy are you? -74 kg.
So that's 74 times 1 or 1.5, you can also take the average.
You've an experienced user and you've tried MDMA, which is similar.
74 times 1.5 is 111. I know that off the top of my head.
You can go and weigh 111 mg.
Good job weighing it. Great job. We're going to take this with us.
Put on your shoes, Bastiaan. We're going to the woods.
We're sitting outside, finally. It's nice to be here.
It's going to be a nice trip in the woods.
Do you feel good? -I do. I ate well. I slept well.
I've been on holiday so I'm well rested. I'm looking forward to this.
The moment of truth. It tastes nasty, so here is some squash to wash it away.
Nell, are you ready? Okay.
Okay, one two.
It tastes just like MDMA. It's just chemical waste.
You can taste that it's chemical, that's it's not good for you.
It's down the hatch. Now all we have to do is wait.
We don't have a heart rate and temperature gauge right now.
We do have a doctor on the set, as always.
We've been very busy. We've looked for such a device but haven't found one.
If you know of a real-time heart rate and temperature gauge...
let us know in the comments or send us an email.
The person who helps us will get a big reward... but not drugs.
It would help us a lot. In the meantime our doctor will monitor everything.
My vision is really blurry, man. Everything is going... I don't know.
When I look into the distance, everything is blurry
I can feel my mouth getting drier. The tension on my jaws is increasing.
I don't feel it physically but I'm in the scene.
Do you feel nauseous? -Nope and I hope it stays that way.
MDA, just like MDMA, increases the serotonin level in your brain.
This causes a euphoric feeling and a greater sense of empathy.
MDA binds itself to the 5-HT2A receptor...
which is responsible for more psychedelic effects.
It's not as intense as with truffles, but it intensifies colours.
They become more beautiful or shinier.
Don't forget to breathe. -Indeed.
I feel great. My arms feel very light. -Breathe in, breathe out.
My arms feel like feathers.
The leaves are getting greener.
When I look up, the leaves are becoming very green. Very pretty.
This is really a nice location to do this.
It makes you want to interact with other people.
Talk to them, hug them, and dance with them.
People also feel like they're floating because they're so into the music.
It's really beautiful here. -Mind the ditch.
The yellow, that's still yellow, that flows into green is very cool.
It looks really cool. Shall we lie down? -Okay.
This is very chill. The sun and all these things here.
It's like I'm in a movie. This sky is fairly blue.
It's even bluer now, because the colours are merging.
That's really cool.
You're experiencing the positive effects. -Very much so.
You're gnawing your jaws a bit. -I know.
A dry mouth. -Very dry.
Your pupils are very dilated. There're also negative effects, such as:
Nausea, headaches, and difficulties urinating.
Some people get heart palpitations or start sweating profusely.
Some people have to shit a lot due to bowel problems. That's intense.
Especially if you're not with nice people or in a bad location and you can't go.
That can cause you to panic.
We seem like lovers. We're not though. -We're not in love.
We're just good friends. -Good friends.
You're one of my very best friends. -And you are mine.
We're in this setting now, but if I was at a techno party...
I'd feel differently than I do now. -You're very calm now.
Everything is pretty. I like sitting here. The sky is pretty. The trees are pretty.
Using drugs can determine the mood. -That's true.
DJ, put the music on.
Now I see turquoise, blue, light blue, turquoise, blue, green, yellow, red.
Really? -That's what I see with my eyes closed.
Because MDA has a trippy effect it can cause closed-eye visuals.
I saw different colours, like a disco. -Was it manageable or too intense?
The colours flashed by quickly, but it was nice.
Dark blue, light green, yellow, red...
and now I can only see red. -Your eyelids were going like this.
Does it feel good, Bas? -Great.
Now I'm tired. -Your back feels warm.
One of the risks of MDA is overheating.
Your body doesn't know whether it's warm or cold.
So when you go dancing, take regular breaks and drink some water.
But be careful. People think drinking lots of water prevents overheating...
but that's very dangerous, because the blood volume increases.
You can have problems urinating and eating...
which can lead to a sodium deficiency.
This causes water to flow to your brain and that makes your brain cells swell.
But your skull can't expand, so you can end up in a coma...
or get a lacunar stroke, and it can even lead to death.
Don't drink more than one or two glasses of water per hour.
When we were lying in the grass I felt happy, but now I feel spacey.
It looks like a painting when you do this.
It also seems like you're taking more time to look at things.
That's exactly what it is. -To see the beauty in things.
It's really nice here. I'm not joking.
Using drugs is never without risk, but we made sure to test our drugs.
Also make sure that you're in the right mind-set.
Are you happy, are you depressed?
Do psychoses or other mental disorders run in the family?
Using drugs increases the odds that it will happen to you.
MDA isn't physically addictive, but it is mentally addictive.
Be aware of your mind-set.
Look, an airplane. -Great of you to notice.
Bastiaan is still spacing out. That's why I'm telling you all of this.
The effects of this drug last 6-8 hours.
I believe that happiness and joy can be found within yourself.
You should go back to nature tomorrow and see if there's any difference.
Maybe that feeling will stay with you for the rest of the week.
Eat lots of vitamins. -Will do.
I slept horribly. I went to bed around 1 a.m.
I couldn't sleep because I had restless legs and muscle spasms.
That made my head restless so I couldn't sleep.
After I took a shower during the night I was able to sleep.
I didn't sleep much at all. I'm still very tired.
Nellie told me to go outside, but it's pretty dreary outside.
I don't think it's that pretty anymore. The trip made the colours beautiful.
I can also see houses now, so it's not that interesting.
This was Drugslab for this week. If you're curious about a drug...
and you know of a good location, let us know in the comments.
Like and subscribe. Check out the do's and don'ts.
I'll see you again next time. Bye.
