Terminology - Rollin' ?

Hi, Being a head from back a few days, I am familliar with the different references that are used to describe being "high", ie:
weed= stoned, baked, etc. lsd= fried, frying, in-the-haze, etc. speed= crankster, gacked out, etc. ket= k-hole, etc.
Having never tried X, and never having the desire to try it, I am uneducated in the " Rollin " vernacular. I am familliar with the effects as they are written, but was wondering about the specifics. Could someone describe why the term roll, rolling are used? Just trying to keep up. Peace and Thankx

Taking a pill of MDMA is sometimes referred to taking, having, or being on a roll.
It might be that the term emerged out of the phrase "to be on a roll" as in to have things going very well, which sounds pretty accurate to an MDMA experience to me.
Sometimes users' eyes will also roll around in their heads (back and side to side) due to high doses or sensitivity to the drug. Thought I doubt that's where the term came from, it's possible.
I think most people agree that "rolling" is a functionally appropriate description of the experience. It's not like tripping, due to the unavoidably positive direction of the drug- it's something happy and peaceful.

Ecstasy tablets are called rolls because they're the Rolls Royce of drugs 
What's in a name?
"Do you want to ingest some 1-(3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl)-N-methyl-2-aminopropane with us?"
"Come on, let's gobble a roll and hang!"

The whole feeling of the drug is just plain best described by rolling. While tripping on acid might feel a little floaty, like flying, X feels like you are constantly experiencing a sort of inner motion way down deep into your bones and strong sensations. Rolling is just the perfect word for the effect, when you have felt it you will understand.
-------------------- No ONE wants to know the ultimate TRUTH, as soon as YOU find IT out, YOU want to forget IT. You are everything's way of feeling itself. Happy Schwag, everygodly!

I've rolled many times in my day. Rollin just refers to being high on E. The name came from when roll your eyes back in your head while your rollin and getting a crazy rush.

In 7th grade a deputy who was our truency officer(later fired for sexual harrasment) came in and showed us a movie about MDMA and raves.He said it was called roll because people stuck the pills inside toostie rolls.
This guy also use to walk around the lunch room and shake bottles fo water to see if they bubbled a certain way.If they did then they contained GHB or Extacy.So he says.
What a flake

Can the critics still deny that the geometry of matter is directly related to the harmonic interweaving of light itself? There is no substance, in the absolute sense. We live in a reality of un-reality; all is an illusion and the stuff that dreams are made of. Our physical world is nothing more than a resonating ball of light and shade." "If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, infinite. For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things through narrow chinks of his cavern."
