I've done MDMA(ecstasy) for 2 years now, every 2 months or so, and I'm healthy as a horse. why the lies?

Why do people think ecstasy is so dangerous, why do people believe our big brother government. Are people really this brainwashed and this ignorant? How do you explain the so called horrible dmg done after ecstasy use, when me, a regular ecstasy user has encountered almost 0 problems ( ok maybe some memory loss, but hey, if u wanna play u gotta pay) I've actually become a better person; I consider myself enlightened (hated dancing before E, now I love it and I'm kick *** at it)

So lets see, my positive effects from my drug use:

Lots of fun, lots of good memories to hang on to, better dancer, happier and more satisfied person, more confident, and overal less negative/violent more positive/loving. How do u explain this?

Ah, i forgot, the zealous drug warriors crawl all over this site like a bias, ignorant disease. Please do some real research before you reply and say something stupid like it causes insanity...Did you know more people die from choking on peanuts, then from dying from ecstasy?

There are health problems associated with long term use of any drug, so when anything is taken in moderation it's hard to play that card. Long term addiction (physical and mental) is also an issue to be aware of, but if you are honest to yourself, you'll know when you are or aren't addicted. No idea of the long term physical problems, but I suspect it'll screw you brain after years of use. Don't need science, just common sense, to figure that out.

One of the reasons I usually steer clear of X these days (and Vodka, for that matter) is it makes me feel great, chatty, suddenly I understand a connection between myself and all things, and I have a great time. Then I come down and realise that I can't remember hardly any of the twaddle I was spouting, most of it was about what I love and I never really made any meaningful contact with anyone that night.

So the danger for me is rather than ensure I spend time having real conversations, get in touch with my emotions and mature as a well-rounded person, I would instead use MDMA (or any other drug, illegal or legal) to replace real meaning and connections in my life.

I'm 31 now, and just realising how much I've drunk and played computer games (both legal addictions) to avoid dealing with real life and real emotions, and in truth I never thought I had any sort of problem. But having taken several different approaches at tackling that, some of which my 20-something self might judge at as "spiritual bull***" or hippy nonsense, I feel much better as a person. Which is ace. No drug ever really made me more confidence or satisfied with myself long-term, only with the effect it had on me - if you say you are relying on a drug to make you feel like this, then isn't that the same as saying that without the drug you are not confident and dissatified with life ? Inner happiness is much more important than outward appearence, so I would be worried about that.

We don't live in a society that puts much stock in good mental health - it's a point of ridicule for many people - and substance use (legal or illegal) is often a way of coping with unpleasant thoughts. This isn't a problem on it's own, a good pint of beer on a Friday night is very healthy for relaxing and unwinding, all you need to do is watch out that you don't rely on that chemcial because without it you feel "less of a person", as this would be the beginning of future problems.

Well sir, It's not lies. I do believe in everything in moderation but using drugs such as X for long periods of time will have effects on your health. Does a smoker complain of bad health for the first 10 years? Please dont think you can continue that pace forever...

I think in the long term it will make you feel depressed. Don't you feel depressed after a night of partying? I don't like it, it makes me feel like I'm a zombie the next day like I have no emotions or any thoughts.

Yeah, of course your healthy....now. Tell my friend that ended up in a mental asylum years later as a result of doing Ecstasy that she's healthy or her ex-boyfriend (sorry you can't, he OD'd and he's dead). For you to actually post this question it's obviously already started to affect your brain!!

Don't deffend your addiction. There are long term effects ahead of you.

Memory loss - that's only the very beginning dude. Sounds like you also have delusions - such as being a better dancer. No stimulant or depressant will make you "dance better". It makes you THINK you dance better when in actuality - you look like a fool. I've never heard of anyone dying from choking on a peanut - I've actually choked on one. But, it was so small it didn't really obstruct my air path. One time, I thought I was going to die because I was choking on a piece of ice. But, it melted before I choked to death. Whew. Close one. Your brains cells will start to die slowly. The neurons will cease to make the correct connections in your brain. They will become deformed and unrepairable. Brain cells can be regenerated but, you have to have healthy brain cells to do that. You really want to get high? Go skydiving.

You truly are in a state of denial. My husband and I are only 9 months apart in age and to look at us you would think at least 10 yrs difference. You see I never used drugs and he has abused his body ever since he was young. Thought it cool and he could have a good time partying etc etc(you know all the lies people tell themselves while using drugs and have a GREAT TIME) Well, after 30+ yrs it catch up with him in a very bad way. He looks and thinks(when he can) like his 70+ and I can't begin to tell you all his chronic health problems and disabilities. He was having a GREAT time so he thought, but now he is very angry with himself. It hasn't been easy to watch over the years knowing all this would catch up with him if he even may it to a mature age. So, the choice is yours, you can have a great time and buy into these lies you are telling yourself, but remember years from now(if you are still alive) that the consequences that WILL come will be those that YOU chose. Please, do some research on this and I do really hope you will change the way you are looking at this.

omg i know. i do ecstasy a little bit more then you do and im fine haha actually ive made lots of friends being on ecstasy. ex puts holes in rats brains not human brains. people are stuuupid!
