He calls someone a dumbass, yet every post from his keyboard evinces no sign that he has any concept of spelling, grammar or sentence structure. Not to mention, you have yet to come up with a good argument. Try again and maybe you'll be taken seriously.

Kick his ass, Sea Bass!

When you shoot up rats with enough sachrine they get cancer. Does that mean that I'm going to get cancer if I have Sweet And Low every once and a while? Probably not. Does that mean that both of these studies are BS? Probably so.

Wasn't CNR the one that had to admit their previous work on ecstasy was flawed and clinically incorrect?
Nope, that was a Johns Hopkins study. And they didn't "have to" admit anything. The researchers discovered and reported their own error: a bottle of methamphetamine was mislabeled MDMA (ecstasy). So the results were valid for methamphetamine use, not MDMA use.

It is worth nothing that methamphetamine is just as coveted by the drug culture as Ecstasy.

Now you've heard.

Yeah, that's a great rebuttal. Try this, just a little further down the page:

A spokeswoman for the National Institutes of Health said there is no specific amount of the drug that will cause an overdose. Rather, a person's body weight and age are factors, as well as simultaneous use of other drugs, including alcohol...."

In case you're having trouble reading between the lines: There's no CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE that X kills people.

Being a dumbass and mixing X with alcohol or horse tranquilizer = A Very Bad Fvcking Idea (tm)

Are you saying that ravers don't hit X and drink at the same time?

Yeah, all of them suck down a bottle of Jack Daniels and pop 50 hits of X at the same time.

Jesus...no one can accept the fact that it's possible to use X and other recreational drugs responsibly, but find it very easy to lump them in with coke, heroin, crack and other hard drugs.

You should probably stop trying to convince yourself that using X is ok.

why do people attack rich-kid drugs so much? i can understand about crack and stuff, because people get hyped up and go killing people (like alcohol).

But with drugs like pot and ecstasy, people are just content to smoke it and not bother people. The anti-drug people aren't just content with not using it, they want to attack the people that do.

Errr...umm...the significance of the statement is that the maximum safe and lethal dose of MDMA depends on several factors. MDMA can interact with other intoxicating substances to produce a lethal result. MDMA can also be lethal all by itself.

There is a mountain of definitive evidence that MDMA kills people. You might want to consider taking "Reading Between the Lines: 101" over again.

X is much more dangerous than pot. I have no problem with pot.

So what are you, some poor little Rich Kid? Are you above the law? Will your daddy bribe the court to keep your punk ass out of "Pound Me in the Butt" prison if you are caught?


Hehehe..disregard what I just posted, being rich is cool! You get away with so much!

Really. Feel free to cite some reliable sources besides "My friend's brother's girlfriend's sister died after taking X" and I'll be glad to take a look.

I don't need to convince myself of anything. I'm making an informed decision to use it on an occasional basis in the privacy of my own home. If you don't want to use it, fine by me. Don't attack me for using it or compare me to a crack addict.
 
there's no reason to argue about it...let the druggies keep doing drugs, and those who don't want to don't have to.......as long as the druggies stay away from me i could give a $hit what they do on their own free time.

I never did. I wasn't into the dance thing (trance, house, etc... annoy me) but I bounced around a few raves and a few private X parties. The only thing myself and my associates ever drank was water and an occasional soda. I make a concerted effort not to mix drugs (booze & Tylenol, X & booze, etc...)

Just so that I understand what it is that you want me to prove, that MDMA can be lethal? Because if I do find some sources that prove MDMA can be lethal, and your response is something like "Well duh, because they overdosed on it", then you're not asking me to prove that MDMA can be lethal, you're asking me to prove something else, what I do not know.

Heh, chances are you don't know who the "druggies" are. For example, you'd never be able to tell just by looking at me that I use X on occasion.
 
Hmm, here's a thought. If things like Cocain and X are manipulating and modifying our DNA, what do the things we consume every day (foods and drinks) or medications do to our DNA?

Might as well do what you like, were all screwed anyway

ANYTHING can be lethal.

THIS is what I'm talking about when I say "use drugs responsibly".
 
Hmm... interesting.
I wonder where they are gonna publish their results.
I dont think there have been any other papers that have come out linking mutagenesis with MDMA.
I think theyve suggested that MDMA can be neurotoxic and could induce cell death even outside of the brain.
It will be really interesting to see their dosage, length of exposure, and the mechanism of action.
They are sure to get themselves noticed when another MDMA flamewar erupts over their findings.
Now to kill this thread...

Anyone wanna host scientific MDMA articles?
