Moontanman Posted February 12, 2009 Report Posted February 12, 2009 Ecstasy's long-term effects revealed THEY called it the second summer of love. Twenty years ago, young people all over the world donned T-shirts emblazoned with smiley faces and danced all night, fuelled by a molecule called MDMA. Most of these clubbers have since given up ecstasy and are sliding into middle age. The question is, has ecstasy given up on them?

freeztar Posted February 13, 2009 Report Posted February 13, 2009 The problem with this study is that it does not take into account that ecstasy is usually not pure MDMA, but is often mixed with much more dangerous drugs such as heroin and crystal meth. Determining who took what exactly would be impossible for a large study group. For this reason, as well as those mentioned in the article, I'm skeptical of the findings. Studies using mice in a controlled lab environment would likely yield more accurate results, imho. Quote
Moontanman Posted February 13, 2009 Author Report Posted February 13, 2009 I thought it was interesting that down grading it was being considered to the same class as Mary Jane because only 30 people a year were dieing from it. I thought that odd considering no one has ever died from an OD of Mary Jane Quote
