un.conventional 1 year ago Two very interesting stories making headlines in the past couple of days. One of the largest studies into the effects of MDMA (3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine, made popular in the form of ecstasy pills) to date has found that there is no evidence that the drug causes brain damage, and that it's danger's have been greatly exaggerated.

As if-
- the aprox. 700 million users hadn't figured that out for themselves !
The War on Humans known as the drug war is a complete fraud !
Nice to have the validation from the folks in lab coats finally.
Feels a bit like science is once again telling us what we already knew !

True
Yes exactly, but isn't it nice finally start receiving validation from the powers that be!
It's the first step in ending the persecution of the innocent and recognizing cognitive liberty as a basic human right.
safer than alchohol but still not the greatest.
I wouldn't call MDMA safe, relatively safe maybe. To paraphrase Terence Mckenna, MDMA is a perfect example of why we should stick to plant psychedelics.
MDMA, methelyne dioxy
MDMA, methelyne dioxy METHAMPHETAMINE
yeah, sounds great for my brain.
MDMA is no where near "safe" for you, it's just potentially less harmful than alcohol based on the given amounts you ingest.
Now, LSD. that is safer than aspirin...cannabis, retards cancer growth . talk about some real miracles.

I get where you're coming from....
Obviously a manmade chemical like MDMA is not an ideal drug, but if everyone who drank alcohol on weekends took some pure MDMA instead...... how different would this world look?
I agree about LSD but that's the next step - MDMA doesn't have any barriers to entry, its not scary to take, no bad trips, of course then when you're ready to dig deeper.... the whole psychedelic toolbox is there waiting for you!
MDMA can be partially
MDMA can be partially synthesized using organic means, or fully synthesized.
I'd recommend (although i don't condone really things outside cannabis and psychedelics) pure sassafras root (what organic mdma is synthd from) the euphoria is very similar.

Sass (MDA) is the way to go.
Sass (MDA) is the way to go. Usually a lil more intense at first, ends a little sooner, so you gotta take more.. but it has more organic trippy qualities to it. I do still enjoy a good roll on molly every now and then too, though.
as above, so below;

I've known people...
...who have fried themselves on MDMA, but that's because they did way too much. I believe that the effects of moderate use have been greatly exaggerated though. I mean, think of how many people have used it and are just fine.
Exactly
@ Boadie - Exactly. I think you can fry yourself consuming too much of anything, everything in moderation.
@as.clay.tion - interesting, shall investigate MDA further!
How much is too much?
I noticed something from over-doing it on Ecstasy, although not pure MDMA but regardless the problem for me stems from the effect both produce which is the loving/empathic one that is so wonderful to begin with and certainly is, at least for the first few times, a very valuable tool for showing you how close you really are to people and even animals and objects! The problem comes when you over-do it; that closeness and empathy becomes meaningless if you don't take steps to better yourself towards something like what it teaches when the drugs wear off and this can make the experiences seem trivial and trite over time. Isn't it tragic that this happens, or is it just me?

I'd still consider that amount of brain chemicals being explosively ejected could do harm for psychology if done in excess. with that said, medicinal regulation of MDMA would help a lot of sad people without turning them into robots.
