why was my experience like this ?

i’ve taken mdma 4 times, none of it was evenly spaced out, stomach was at different points during all of this aswell as i was mentally, most of them were pretty self explanatory some reaching the far end when it came to hitting except for the 4th time where it was 9 hours later, the last 3 were all from the same plug and batch

Trip 1 (January)

I took the pill after being up all day and coming off a pretty heavy day of drinking (a fifth of Hennessy, almost blacked out). I didn’t really feel anything from the MDMA. Everything was kind of muted, and it just didn’t hit in any noticeable way, which makes sense looking back since I was already exhausted and still coming down from alcohol.

Trip 2 (first time I actually felt it):

I took the pill around 5:15 pm. For the first couple hours I didn’t really feel much, just kind of content but nothing strong or obvious. It wasn’t until around 9 pm that it actually started kicking in. After that point I could tell it was hitting, but I don’t really remember the exact peak or when it fully came down. The main thing I remember is that there was a long delay before it actually started working.

Trip 3 (normal onset):

This time I took it and it hit like it’s supposed to. It started coming on within about 30–90 minutes. The onset felt more immediate and predictable compared to the other times, and I could actually feel it building up in a normal way instead of a long delay.

Trip 4 (delayed peak again):

I took the pill at 5:30 pm, but it didn’t really peak until around 2:30 am. At first it felt like it wasn’t hitting much at all, and then hours later it suddenly built up into the full effect. The timing felt really off compared to a normal experience, with a long gap

between taking it and actually feeling it.

So basically i was just wondering why the inconsistency, with pills you never really know , mental matters, digestive matter, timing matters, im just so thrown off by the 9 hour wait, i mean my pupils were completed dilated 2:30am after taking it at 5pm
