ECSTASY - your opinion
 

What is your first thought when you hear this drugs name? :feels-hot

stupid people use drugs.

stupid kids

but alcohol is ok :thumbsup :Graucho

It fucks up the mind

wish i'd never touched it (over and over and over again)

alcohol sucks too but at least it's been around for thousands of years so the long term effects are well hahahahahahahahaed.

didnt your mom ever tell you drugs are all bad. bad bad bad

Russian Roulette....I would never touch that shit. A buddy of mine (who happens to be russian :1orglaugh) said he wanted to try it recently...Bad idea...I use to smoke marijuana but I quit that for now at least. Got better things to worry bout.

party

i dont use it, but thats just what came to mind

Nice first thought :thumbsup Your mom has a great influence on you, she is in your mind! :feels-hot

OK in moderation and with plenty of water

mmmmkay gather around children, you know you shouldnt do drugs cause drugs are bad mmmmkay.......

Its probably the worst drug you can do, period, when it comes to permanent side effects. I'm not just listening to propaganda either - I've seen the results first hand. Its bad for ANYONE, but worse for those that are already depressed, and I've seen my friends turn into fucking zombies.

Ever heard the phrase e-tard? If not, go to a rave and you're bound to see them in droves. Its really sad, and pathetic, to see how harmful this drug can be.

That being said - trying it once isn't going to cause permanent brain damage, and most people that have their heart set on doing it aren't gonna be persuaded out of it. But its extremely addicting, if addiction runs in your family chances are you'll get hooked fast :)

Anyway. Those are my thoughts on the drug. Take it as advice from someone that's been there. :2 cents:

the term "moderation" is vague, and even doing the drug bi-weekly, or monthly, is still gonna fuck you up in the long run.

Ever been to London? According to your logic, everybody under 30 should be mucho fucked up and E-Tarded. They aren't. Do they have some special genes that allow them to be exempt?

man...dont even say that word...i used to sell it in college and ended up doin it at the clubs every weekend with my friends...that shit fucked up my body temperature...ill get hella hot when others are cold...and vice versa...and when i drive at night now all the lights everywhere are way more vivid...stay away from that shit!

it's a don't.....:BangBang:

tried it once, that's more than enough for me..

can't knock it till you've tried it... like any drug, moderation is the key. Ecstacy won't cause any bad effects unless you do alot of it... it's chemically similar to meth/ephedrine.

It just gets really bad press (like most drugs)... out of the millions of users in the US and Canada, 1 person doesnt drink enough water and dances until their body shuts down and the entire scene gets a bad name.

it amazes me to no end, how, generation after generation there will always be people who not only defend drug use, but actually encourage it. History does not lie. Drug use destroys lives.

When have you ever seen a heroin junkie, cokehead, crackhead, meth freak, etc.... EVER stand up and give a lecture on how the drug (of their particular choice) has enhanced and enriched their lives for the good?

The answer is never.

The drug is very dangerous, no matter how you twist it. It's classified as a drug for a good reason. The long lasting effects have not been 100% solid but it is a fact that some people get very depressed as a result.

On the other hand, people who do it seem to enjoy the fuck out of themselves which makes it extremely tempting.

MDMA was used to treat depression not so long ago and so far not a single independent test has successfully proven the horrific side effects that you hear in propaganda. There was a test a couple of years ago that said that Ecstasy pretty much fries your brain but recently they came out and said they didn't use MDMA but rather MDA or something of the sort.

I'd stay away from it, if you need to get seriously fucked up, there are many better known alternatives.

Used to do it a lot. Amazing feeling... but for some reason it never hurt me physically.. thank god.

Drugs can destroy lives... "can" being the key word. Religion can destroy lives, porn can destroy religious lives and rip families apart, alcohol abuse is a way bigger problem than drug use is, and the list goes on. A person should be able to make their own informed decisions.

Do you have any idea how many white collared coke users there are in North America? Of course they're not going to stand up and say it enriched their lives... it's a controlled substance, not something you want to put the spotlight on. Especially if you're a respected businessman.

:(

certainly all of those things are true. Does that mean that drug use is somehow now more of a good thing because "religion can destroy lives too"? What is your point?

You are attempting to water the issue down by giving examples of OTHER things that can "also destroy lives". A catastrophic car wreck can destroy lives too. So what. I thought this thread was about drugs.

This is the typical fallback defense plan of drug supporters:

'Well, this thing and that thing and the other things also fuck you up, therefore drugs aren't that bad. Plus, this other thing is much worse."

That's not a defense. That's a cop out.

Taking an E is probably the closest thing to heaven on earth, it does fuck up your mind however. Read all the posts about panic syndrome and shit, you´re gonna wish you never even sniffed on that shit when you get it.
Just my.. :2 cents:

Just what I'd want to do... ingest something that could have been mixed up in fido's water dish. :glugglug

I liked mdma, and had some very good experiences with it. Take it alone, or in small groups, or with a beloved woman, in the right way, the right dosage sequence- and there is no experience like it.

I first took it in 1978, when you could only get it if you knew the right chemists.

Epidemiological statistics don't support the claim that it is particularly dangerous, altho it is easy to take overdoses, because it's tolerance increases so quickly.

And there are a certain degree of contaminants in a lot of what passes for mdma these days.

Drugs are stupid, plain and simple, especially E. You don't know what shit is in it or what fucked up, meth-freak, highschool drop out mixed it.

It's great if taken no more than ever 2 weeks. I took a few one weekend and was e-tarded for like a month. It completely went away though. There's really no proof of long term brain damage. A big danger is overheating, which is why E and dancing should really just not mix.

Also you really can't trust the dealers. Anyone with a pill press can make pills that look just like the one you had last week.

Amp, my response was to the rumored effets of E. While some people here are convinced there are terrible horrendous effects of it, I have seen otherwise. Check out a little island called Ibiza for proof of this. I haven't touched the stuff since I ws younger but it's good to keep things in perspective. If you don't believe me then see what ABC News recently had to say about it

Drug use is part of human history. Get over it. If you had a choice of people smoking weed and or taking E as opposed to drinking alcohol which would you choose? Which one consistantly kills the most people? Which one causes the most fights/divorces/injuries?

But of course you have no problem reaching for that 6 pack after making that last Playboycash site of the day.

I think everyone should do drugs so I can rule the world :thumbsup

who wants crack?

so you're saying drug use is a good thing.

this is proof that drug use is a good thing..... right?

and I'm still waiting for testimony from a cokehead or junkie that can outline how their drug use has made their lives better.

I have a choice of not doing any of the above. And so do you. And so does everyone else.
You tell me. I'm not a statistics expert. Again, is there a point to this? Does this line of debate/defense somehow equate to drug use being a good thing? Because I'm not seeing it.
6 pack? No. 1 or 2? Sure. Nothing wrong with having 1 or 2 drinks a day (or however infrequently you may choose). It's perfectly legal, socially accepted, and sold in nearly every store and restaurant everywhere. Can alcohol be abused? Of course. Has it destroyed lives? Of course. Lot's of things can be abused. But again, is this somehow supposed to be justification for illegal drug use? Because you're not convincing me. Are you going to go on to point out every thing you can think of which could possibly have a negative effect on someone's life in the vain attempt to make drug use somehow seem like a good thing?

Explain to me why drug supporters always do this?

Is it perhaps because you can't possibly find one crackhead in a million that can provide proof that his life is now better because he's a crackhead? Or is it simply the conditioned response?

How ridiculous would it sound if I tried to do what you are doing, only in the reverse. Instead of citing everything else I can think of that may have a negative impact, I'll start naming things that have a positive impact, in the defense of drug use:

"Tylenol helps lots of people with headaches and other pains. Tylenol is a drug. Therefore illegal drug use is a good thing. (nevermind that Tylenol is a legal drug. That doesn't fit into my example so just ignore it)"

Sounds pretty damn dumb doesn't it.

The sound of bass vibrating through the corugated tin walls of back alley warehouses.

Immature raver kids

Arguing for anything added to your body other than air, glucose and water is a losing proposistion. It's even impossible to completely argue that certain amounts of Vitamin C is good for you without having an opposing opinion based on some obscure German study. So, I certainly can't do it.

What I can do is point out the hypocrisy of people who indulge in certain vices to poo poo those who enjoy other vices without accepting the facts. Not the hearsay facts but the actual facts.

waste of good money :2 cents:

Ecstasy is a great drug!

And yes, illegal drug use has enriched my life.
