This Lancet study [0] rated the 'harm to self' of ecstacy much lower than alcohol: https://www.thelancet.com/cms/attachment/b3a9c7d1-bb08-42f3-9e92-5a374e38782e/gr2.jpg https://www.thelancet.com/cms/attachment/b3a9c7d1-bb08-42f3-... Two points to note: (a) The study looked at the effect of the 'street' drug Ecstacy - ie. cut with other harmful drugs - not pure MDMA; (b) Perhaps the low 'harm to self' rating is an indirect product of the fact that it is illegal - if it was more widely available people would abuse it much more than alcohol and it would get a higher 'self harm' rating [0] https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(10)61462-6/abstract https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6...
