Party and have fun, but do so wisely!
Moderation is key? You are dumb. People have had permanent damage from a one time use of E.
For every study that proves 'ecstasy rots your brain' there are studies that prove otherwise.
If you want to talk about a drug to avoid, you should talk about LSD. Every time you drop, you are basically going through chemically induced schizophrenia. Schizophrenia is funny, because it isn't necessarily hereditary. You may have mild schizophrenia and not even know it -- and if you're screwing around with harder drugs (stuff beyond pot and alcohol), you're already high-risk for having mild schizophrenia anyway.
Basically, you can end up like me, and take that one hit that puts you on your ass and changes you for life. I have to take risperidol every day for the rest of my life because if I don't I get paranoid, and if I let it go long enough, I will have hallucinations. Its pretty hard to explain what an 'episode' feels like, but I can tell you that most of the time it is not pleasant, and at their worst, schizophrenic episodes can be absolutely terrifying.
Not everyone will turn out like me, obviously, but you need to ask yourself if it is worth taking the risk. Some people will say yes, and to them I say good luck.
At this point in my life, I can honestly say the simplest, and most intelligent choice is to just not take drugs to begin with. They drain you financially, mentally, and physically.
