I downvoted it because it's just not good advice. Taken overly literally, it's probably harmful. Yes, you should be careful self-medicating with chemicals. There are ways to do it safely, though, even with MDMA. You should also do other things (as you are able) that don't require chemicals, and a lot of those should come before most chemicals. But some chemicals are really safe! E.g. for anxiety, try silexan and L-theanine as a first-line thing — they're both cheap and have no significant negative side-effects. And other chemicals are really powerful and transformative, and while they need to be considered and/or used with extreme care, they may be really good options. I'd absolutely take the risk of MDMA with proper testing, dosing, and supplementation over the risk to my body from a triathlon, for example. And you should definitely test MDMA, or have someone test it. Both of those are pretty accessible options for people who already know how to get MDMA.
