George Ricaurte is the man from John Hopkins University who supposedly proved MDMA's potential for neurotoxicity with an article he and other researchers published in Science magazine. First of all, the research was based on experiments funded by the government. Primates were injected with what they considered to be recreational doses of MDMA and the result was an article about severe dopaminergic neurotoxicity.
Ricaurte retracted this article a year later because his team fucked up and used methamphetamine instead of MDMA. Above all, that recreational dosage of MDMA they thought they administered was in reality a 50-fold overdose of meth.

After this the subject of MDMA neurotoxicity remains very controversal. Maybe frequent, heavy doses will start to cause damage to serotonin axons but serotonin itself will replenish itself. Maybe the only real risk of MDMA neurotoxicity comes with complications such as overheating. Perhaps antioxidants can be taken to lessen the severity of any such toxicity exhibited by MDMA.
Right now we don't really know, and we wont so long as there are jackasses like George Ricaurte and the government encouraging research that only shows the negative consequences of drug use.
This hasn't stoped me from doing ecstasy in the past and it wont prevent me from doing it again. I believe if MDMA did cause any significant or even moderate damage to the brain, considering all the people who have used it, we should be in some MPTP-type scenerio.

Over time, these receptors get more and more burnt out and your seretonin levels get mroe and more fucked up. This is why it doesnt work after a certain amount of times, cuz you dont have any more seretonin to waste.

The secret is to not do ecstasy often. Even at a rate of every other week a user will notice diminished effects. I've rolled more times than I can count, always taking breaks in between. I still feel the effects, never have very bad come downs nor any after-roll depression. Am I some sort of anomaly or just someone who understands the concept of mind over matter?
If you come down and think "Ohh life sucks so much now that I am not on ecstasy, I need to kill myself" that means you're a bitch.

I prefer coke! Way safer drug I say. And you can party as long as you want with it. BTW...I didn't mean skull I meant scar tissue on the brain. Sorry for the mess up.

Dude are u serious? X is cheap and lasts for ages, coke is expensive and lasts half an hour at most... am i missing something?

never done coke, but e is cheaper and lasts longer. and yeah, i always have bad comedowns(except for from 2 of the orange handprints, was actually alright), but thats just cause im blown and didnt want the roll to end. and i generally feel depressed for a few dyas after, but not want to die. just everything p;isses me off and its hard to feel happy, except after smoking up of course.

[bedake]

im serious, drink orange juice and it will help the come down loads. i had 2 pills last night and i am perfectly fine and happy only problem is my jaws are sore and my body from dancing..

coke is a huge waste of money ive seen way to many peoples lives go to waste from it, on the other hand never once seen a persons life get bad from ecstasy funneh aint it?

When will peopel realsie that the goverment bullshtis them. dot any of you people remember reefer madness? acording to that were all psychos who go round killngi peopel and raping people.

oh bedake i know ur right, theres soemthing in orange juice (cant rememebr name) that helps in the creation of serotonin.

[ibreakthings]

if i had been listening to the government propoganda I'd be telling you that you will die from overheating or something. This is just logic... we all know that ex works by releasing all your seretonin at once so why wouldnt that mess up the receptors? They are only meant for a certain amount and when u force a shitload into them, of course theyre gonna get stretched.

Im not completely against using x, I'm even planning to try it once or twice. It's just that it seems like more people are using it now and most dont seem to know how it even works, so I'm letting them know.

[bedake]

actually about the only reason people die from x is either bunk, or overheating/dehydration due to dancing way to much
