I somewhat agree. Daily use doesn't produce the high being sought, but it is very habit forming.
I know from personal experience and that of many people around me that doing molly every weekend quickly becomes a dependency and will mess you up very quickly.
In a therapy setting I'm sure risks are low, but I wouldn't make such black and white comparisons against alcohol or say, cocaine.
The reality of addiction is more than a function of frequency or tolerance and often comparing drugs directly is misleading.
- MrScruff 4y agoI’d refer you to the extensive research on the topic by David Nutt, Professor of Pharmacology at Imperial College and former government drugs adviser. It’s possible to compare the ‘relative harm’ of substances, and they will, partly by the nature of the different ways they interact with our reward systems have different risk profiles. Again, not dismissing the risk, but sane drugs policy does require an evidence based assessment of how each substance impacts society and individuals.
- nmca 4y agoI'm broadly pro harm reduction & happy about psych legalisarion, but the details of the Nutt studies are, aha, pretty Nutty. The most cited one just involved taking some doctors and asking them to yolo out some qualitative harm estimates. Not ideal evidence-based medicine. (I would provide a close cite but I only recall from his book "drugs without the hot air" & am on mobile)
