don't know where you get your info from, but you're wrong. MDMA isn't called a "neurotoxin" in the medical community for nothing; excessive use has been shown to erode neuronal axon sheaths surrounding 5HT1A receptors in humans, as well as depleted levels of 5-HIAA in the spine. If you find that hard to believe, pick up a copy of "The Biochemical Basis of Neuropharmacology" 8th Ed. (Bloom/Cooper/Roth) next time you're at the library. See chapter 10 (Serotonin) and when's the last time you've talked to an "e-tard"? they're not exactly cheery people when they're not rolling.
i think it's one of those erroneous preconceived notions that "lsd can make you crazy"... in that case, porn should be on the list too.
Those are insignficant and there are no long-term damages connected to the use of pure MDMA. And yes, MDMA has improved people's lives. I think we're talking about two different things here.. you're talking about the rave scene/using mdma recreationally while I typically base it on using it to improve ones life and in the medical scene.
and you're speculating on limited psychotherapeutic studies, which involve sub-recreational doses. not everyone is affected positively by MDMA "treatment", especially those lacking certain neurotransmitters to begin with. no long term damage? on the contrary, there is. refer to the book, which was printed in 2003 no less), that I mentioned, there is even a nice pic of shredded human (not rats') dendrites; it's been proven in several cases; though sparse usage is probably no big deal, that doesn't change the fact that it's a known neurotoxin, which causes oxidative damage to axons. in the neurochemical aspect, mdma is as damaging as cocaine. it's called "excitotoxicity". feeling that good, has to come with a price.
What? this? Check this link: http://www.erowid.org/chemicals/mdma/mdma_neurotoxicity3.shtml That study was EXTREMELY flawed and has since then been discredited as merely a 'government scare'
I also suggest you watch this.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yt6PHhOZ32g&search=ecstasy rising NBC Primetime special called "Ecstasy Rising".
seen it. I don't particularly care for sensationalism. and I mean this book http://www.oup.com/us/catalog/general/subject/Medicine/Neuroscience/?view=usa&ci=9780195140088# no brain scan picture, but a real microscopic view on damaged sheaths. it's a genuine science textbook. repercussions exist, it's quite obvious.
Hey, polymer... How many times you have to drop E before those repercussions come into effect full? Do they have any idea? In the past, I rolled a few times, but probably won't ever touch it again..Got me curious? I can understand the attraction to the drug. PM the answer if you like..
this question could very easily be interpretted in many ways, with that being said i think that alcohol is the most damaging for out society, even though it is not the most physically harmful
it was a tough choice between meth and heroin. i think i picked heroin because i've actually seen how badly people can be when they need heroin. i've never seen anyone with a meth problem
i had to choose between meth and heroin, but i chose meth bacause i have seen firsthand what it can do to you.
i'd hafta say theyre all quite dangerouse (except weeed) its hard though to say which is worse heroin or meth or alcahol...i was even tempted togo with pcp since i know people who've worked in menmtal hospitols, & have seen some incredibly fucked up things done by people on pcp including 1 guy who plucked out his own eye..& ate it that sounds pretty dangerouse to me what i find the most dangerouse, is, right here on these forums..just yesterday a 16 year old kid was concidering trying datura or beledona..i forget which..& without knowing him or his experiences, several people just said yea go for it there are some here who do try to educate about risks & give the infothey need to make informed descisions, but theres also far too mkuch encouraging young kids to experiment with dangerouse & even potentialy deadly combinations.. how manyof you bother getting contact info & checking up on these kids to make sure they survived the combo you encoyraged them to try? these are mostly inexperienced kids looking for solid advice..& 1 guy actualy suggested he try huffing..well mustard gas..we knew it was a joke..& a deadly combo..& we know it was only posted because the kid was dumb enough to want to try a dangerouse combo...but what if he was dumb enough to try it..& gassed his whole family? just saying, have a lil bit of responcibiity in what you say to kids whowant to try potentialy harmful or dangeroise drugs..even if you enjoyed them, ..explain the risks
I only read the poll and the first page... has it been said yet... that there is NO "most dangerous drug"? Alcohol can be pretty damn dangerous- the worst for withdrawl in a life threating way... however meth, crack, coke, heroin, all have their own dangers that are very diff. but just as bad or worse. I dont think it is possible to pick a "worst drug"
