In other news, MDMA users don't have holes in their brain. Turns out that when the funders of a study are biased and leading, they get the results they want.

- tsol 4y agoMDMA is indeed neurotoxic though, and should be used responsibly. Just because people were puritanical about drugs doesn't mean we need to go in the total opposite direction
- deaddodo 4y agoCertainly. I'm not claiming that drugs have zero effects on brain chemistry or structure. I'm saying that most of the research that was used for general scare tactics was heavily exaggerated or misconstrued. Is MDMA neurotoxic? Without a doubt. Is it anymore so than many prescription drugs that are used on a far more regular basis? Most research points to no. And, in fact, most research has shown that it's neurotoxicity is far more acute (vs chronic/long-lasting) than many prescription drugs.
