Wow I didn't know that. Here did you hear about it? Yeah you would need to eat pounds and pounds before psilocybin itself becomes harmful.

We in the US aren't allowed to use marjiuna even though it has yet to be proven harmful....and United states fighter pilots flying planes capable of killing hundreds are given speed??

Why does anyone continue to listen to the Goverment about the WOD?

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.

Yeah, ummm read the news, several studies were just released, that refutes the first three links. E is harmful, not to everyone, but to most. One hit likely wont cause to many problems. Continued use does indeed cause long term mental problems, and/or brainloss in quite a number of its users.

It's huge here in Southern Indiana. Almost everyday we get a report from the police about a bust. Pot too, but not as much.

Where I'm from in Mississippi, ecstasy and oxycontin are the big drugs.

can't you solve the mdma brain problem w/ plenty of vitamin c?

notice too I said mdma not ecstacy, because "ecstacy" does cause all kinds of problems, usually because it's not mdma

sex is a better drug

What city are you in? Crystal meth has come and gone in most places already.

What planet are you on? I haven't heard of cystal meth entering and then LEAVING a single city. It is extremely addictive and destructive at many levels. It's an official epidemic in Hawaii. just read in the paper today that 70% of the criminals booked into prison here last year tested positive for ice (meth).

Vitamin C isn't going to help your Serotonin levels. Do more research.

It's got to do with the whole seratonin overload that E makes your brain go through (that's why E feels so good... check most any website talking about how E works). Everytime you dose on E you do permanent damage to parts of your brain, losing some of your emotional response, memory, and some other things I can't remember at the moment. Check it out, the bulk of the studies finished up in the last 6-12 months, that's why E usage has dropped off so quickly. Quite the contrast when compared to the fact that many doctors were recomending the drug to people just 2-3 years ago.

IIRC, the average dose is 120mg.
There is no average dose of MDMA. When you buy a roll of the street it is a huge crapshoot, it could just be binding agent, a little bit of MDMA or some completely random drug that fvcks you up.
