The government has lost its credibility in supplying information on the pitfalls of taking X.
In moderation, i believe X is pretty low-risk. A couple of people do randomly die every year from taking it, but the odds are lower than from taking most prescription drugs. Of course if you are one of those taking 5 pills every friday and saturday nite i'd say you are causing some sort of permanent damage...what the damage is/will be remains to be seen. Estimates are that 1 million pills are taken every Sat nite in England...and have been so since the late 1980s.....they have not been able to establish any sort of abnormal number of people with brain functions in England....hence the scepticism.
If you take X, be safe and don't overdue it...and don't do it every weekend!

hahah. So, you're going to assume that every pill you get on the street is pure MDMA? Thats naive, to say the least. Experimental vs. Theoretical are two things entirely, and in practice, you will more often than not get pills with plenty of fucked up chemicals in them - unless you know the people that are capping the pills personally. Even then, I knew plenty of people that were cutting their shit with all KINDS of stuff you'd never want to put in your body. Receiving a dose of speed when you take a pill is the least of your worries, odds are you'll get much worse.
Edit: Had to add this: people need to stop quoting these fucking studies, and pretend they know what they are talking about. We all know studies and statistics can prove ANYTHING, and these are all meaningless figures, conjectures, and assumptions, unless you've actually been there.
