Ecstacy

Yes they r still young and i dont wanna really show those pictures

If you really want to turn this into a pissing match, we can. But let's not and say we did - there are impressionable youth here at EF.

tell him if he's gonna do x then throw in some viagra for a really good time.

Like any rec. drug, if you don't know what you're doing it can cause harm. Having said that, E is not addictive and taken in moderation is reasonably safe. He needs to make sure he gets it from a 'trusted' source. I use the inverted commas because no source is really trusted, but at least someone he knows.

Yes.

Physically, the chance is slim. I forget the exact numbers, but I think the US averages around 40 Ecstacy deaths/year just from ingestion of the drug, not because of what the person does after he/she takes it.

He could kill himself doing something really stupid while on E, I'm sure that's happened before.

Could he fuck up his head? Definetly. Serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine levels are not the greatest thing to fuck with. Flood the brain with them while on drugs and you'll feel great. Do it too much and when your brain is at normal levels, you could be extremely depressed and suicidal. Heroin is a great example of how fucked up the brain can get from drug use. After a while, your brain no longer produces adaquate dopamine levels, which in turn leaves you going back for more. That, however, you can recover from. Fuck up your receptor sensitivity for serotonin or norepinephrine, however, and you could end up on anti-depressants for a long time, possibly the rest of your life, as well as in some form of therapy.

Try to get him away from it if possible by doing other things on the weekend. Don't know your friend though, so hard to say if this is something that will continue or if it'll eventually pass.

yep. as I have said in other threads, I am a living, breathing example that someone can do pretty heavy amounts of various drugs and still live a healthy, successful life (afterwards).

mommuh says drugs are the devil

Also some people start off with E and move on to coke.. and then.. etc...

thats what generally happens unfortunitaly....and they also never stay on the same amount after a while they increase their dosage because they think that they are not being affected the same way as they did before....

MDMA isnt as toxic as most people think it is. really, in the short term youre talking about potential overheating, depression a few days after etc etc but really, most of the danger that comes with taking ecstacy comes from not knowing how much youre taking, and also, taking what you think is ecstacy but is some other more dangerous drug, like PMA or something like that. long term youre set up for some depression, though i havnt seen a convincing study that guarantees it happening, putting yourself at risk of a bunch of mental illnesses, but really it isnt a life or death drug. id be a lot more wrried about someone taking coke or morphine, and thats fairly common.

overall what can i say, taking those sorts of drugs unsupervised is a fairly bad idea in general, but i doubt that it will kill him if he takes proper precautions ie taking teh same pill from the same batch, keeping cool, keeping appropriately hydrated, making sure he doesnt approach dangerous levels of depression a few days after (ie suicide risk) and that sort of thing.

just bloody legalise it imo, take out the criminal element, and let people fry their brains if they want to. bunch of meddling bastards
