I had a girlfriend who used to take it. She said it was great, but felt it caused a bit of damage. She was on her way to a graduate degree in Biochemistry, but lost interest. She didn't blame MDMA, but felt she probally shouldn't have taken it.

Safety and research is imperative with it. People will buy pills without ever asking their dealer the amounts, and will take them way too often without realizing it. You can definitely screw yourself up doing it too often, or doing too much at once. Just my $0.02.

  I don't think you can trust the ingredient list on black market drugs through. Taking MDMA is extremely risky.

    There are tests you can buy cheaply and legally. You should always sacrifice a pill or capsule from a batch to test it.

    Even if you know the strength just having big amount around is risky - it's very hard to stop until you run out which at some point starts causing damage.

    The biggest risk was probably driving to the drug dealer, these roads are dangerous.

I had a girlfriend who had mixed feelings and gave it up as well, because at the time she had no way of verifying the purity and suspected she was usually getting a dose of cheap stimulants in addition to or instead of MDMA. The dealbreaker was that after one experience she suddenly developed a severe teeth-grinding problem. It persisted for at least several years afterwards; maybe longer, since I haven't spoken with her about it in a long time. I was always too cautious to take drugs from unknowable sources, but based on the positive things she said, I'm curious about therapeutic uses of MDMA and would be open to trying it with my therapist, if I had way to be confident in the safety and purity of it. I think the only way I would feel comfortable would be if it came from a pharmaceutical source, so I probably won't be trying it any time soon.
