Of course.

jenkins: I wouldn't really consider someone who rolls pure MDMA on weekends an e-tard. I'm talking about the suburban kids who eat 3-4 ever three nights or so and firmly believe that triple-stacked dolphins are so much better than double-stacked blue Supermans.

MDMA commonly has a depressive afterglow. I don't know what the cause is though.

Also, in regard to neurotoxicity, I'm pretty sure it's still inconclusive as to whether it is or not. Anyone got conclusive evidence?

I'm afraid you are not right. Behold...

1. MDMA promotes permanent, lifelong changes in worldview in the direction of peace, tolerance, nonviolence, and respect.

First off let me state, to the kidiots who think that just because you took meth/pcp/crack you aren't just going to snap and go into a violent rampage. I mean there is people who do that while high on the drugs, but there is way more people who take those drugs and act "normal".

The bad thing about MDMA is the next day, when your brain uses up its supply of serotonin and you feel that chemical depression that no one or any drug can fix. And from frequent uses, the flood of serotonin causes the receptors to become less sensitive so when your serotonin levels are back to normal it won't feel like it for a while.

5-HTP, taken a few days before and a week or so after tends to eliminate everything but the next-day jaw clenching for me, and I have a feeling that side effect is more because of the goddamn meth they put in the rolls as opposed to the MDMA. I take 100mg a day in the morning on the lead up, and 200mg a day after I've rolled, 100mg in the morning, and 100mg at night. My chick halves these doseages and also reports diminished side effects as well.

My experiences with MDMA so far haven't ended up with me feeling depressed the next day what so ever, just pretty lethargic.

And i have taken MDMA two nights in a row and still after that not depressed just fucking knackered.

You aren't rolling often enough to feel the depression. Trust me, it happens once you get to that point...and back-to-back nights of rolling won't do it. Try a couple times a week for months.

As far as drugs go i wish it wasn't always cut with meth or god knows what... pure MDMA is not such a bad thing, at least when its pure you know what your taking but then again if i ever really get into it im investing in a test kit..

now Prove to me that LSD is a bad thing... only things i can think of are possible psychological effects like HPPD or flashbacks...

I don't either, but lethargic, horribly so. I did 8 days in a row back on spring break, next day I had school, went something like this:
Woke up, wipes some dried blood of my face, laid there for 10-15 minutes, got out of bed and sat on it for another 15 or so, sat on the toilet for another 10, stood in the shower for about 20, laid in down the shower for 10, got a nosebleed, sat on the side of the bathtub for 10 bleeding all over myself, got back in the shower for a few minutes, got out and went and laid on my bed again, got dressed, sat staring at a bowl of cereal for a long time, smoked a joint and drove to school.

It didn't last though.

Default Re: Prove to me MDMA is bad thing

I don't think many of you know you're talking about.

There are plenty of studies demonstrating the lasting neurological damage as a consequence of MDMA use. However, the majority of these studies involve injecting laboratory animals with obscene amounts of the chemical for days to weeks on end. Most MDMA users take a considerably smaller mg/kg ratio than what is administered to the lab animals and not for such a consistent and dramatic stretch of time. Also -- most of the MDMA users you and I know aren't mice. Mice with their differing physiology are affected by the drug in ways humans are not, vice versa.

While the findings in lab animals can and do provide useful and relevant information, these findings do not serve as a completely clear and accurate representation of the relationship between MDMA and humans specifically. Ethical implications limit what and how we research. Much of what we're left to work with is anecdotal. This posits a problem because anecdotal experiences cannot be controlled for. It's also worth noting that it's not yet fully understood how neurological changes translate into changes in behavior.

There does exist a definite correlation between depression and MDMA use/slower cognitive functioning (compared to the average non-drug user) and MDMA use in humans. While I don't doubt that much of it is indeed causal, it's not fair to attribute all of it as such. Keep in mind the type of people drawn to drug use; those who have used other drugs in the past, those stuck in an unhappy disposition, people who place less emphasis on the value education, etc.

What it boils down to is moderation. No doubt there is much positive utility (interpersonal, intrapersonal, spiritual, therapeutic) to be extracted from responsible ecstasy use. It's all a matter of finding a right balance. Although, it's glaringly obvious sometimes how in-denial many of you who identify themselves as pro-drug can be. Which is a shame because, ultimately, I feel this does more harm for the cause than good. Less people are willing to take the radical seriously, even if he does have legitimate claims to offer.

I must attack the very foundation of this post.

sorting things into good and bad is ridiculous.

all things have positive and negative aspects.

MDMA.
positive-you feel fantastic, it can help you get through some deep emotional shit if used along with therapy.

negative-it is illegal and can get you arrested. You can OD. it is usually dirty.

the same kind of list can be made for acid, coke, heroin, or any drug, as well as almost any situation.

good and bad is a matter of perspective.

in the eyes of lots of his folowers hitler was a "good" man.

the jews disagreed.
