You know, I went to the University of Oklahoma in 1982-85, smack dab in the middle of legal Ecstacy and had many friends at SMU, Dallas, TX where Ecstacy took off. Since it has become illegal, I have been scared to take it because of not knowing what was in it.

I must say, when Ecstacy was not illegal, I knew chemistry majors at SMU who made pharmacy grade pills and gave it away because it wasn't even about the money at that time. I took it, felt great and came down smoothly after about 5-6 hours, it was fantastic! No hangover or remorse at all. My point is that most studies that talk about deaths or brain damage probably are based off of illegal street Ecstacy.

When it wasn't illegal and it was made pure, I took it frequently for several years and never had a problem taking it and here it is 20 years later and I've not had any negative effects. If anything, I had negative effects after because it was the first time in my life I felt normal when it was available, then all the sudden it was made illegal. I didn't drink much when Ecstacy was legal and when it was made illegal turned to heavy drinking.

My point is that I don't think pure MDMA is any more harmful than all of these antidepressants were pumping into our bodies without knowing long term effects when the reality is they don't work that great anyway.

I'm 40, don't drink or take any illegal drugs because drugs like cocaine etc. do make me crash and feel way down the day after, but I would take Ecstacy in a second if I could get it in pure form legally, without giving it a second thought.
